Stop Wasting Your Most Valuable Opportunity For Discipleship With Your Kids

Everyone I know feels maxed out on their schedules and with the commitments they already have. Yet we are all living with a rhythm that provides one of the most valuable and reoccurring opportunities for discipleship in our families: Family dinner.

Ask Caesar #2

A few weeks ago I tried something new here, and it seemed that you all liked it and benefitted from it, so today I thought I’d try it again and answer a couple more of your questions in another segment of “Ask Caesar”.

5 Things You Must Do: The Secret To Making Friends Quickly

I have noticed that a lot of folks seem to have lost the art of making friends. Maybe its just a modern culturural phenomenon for everyone, but it sure seems to be the case amongst our tribe.

I get asked all the time how my wife, Tina, and I can have so many friends and deep connections with people. “Oh, you guys must be super extroverted…I guess I’m just not like that.” Nope, that’s not it. We may be more extroverted than some folks, but that’s not why we have a lot of friends.

Let me share our secret to making friends quickly. I’ll break it down into 5 main categories. (more…)
