So I’m putting some of the finishing touches on my work for Bible Interaction tomorrow. I should probably let you know what that is! See while I am at the Athletes in Action World Training and Resource Center we spend Mondays and Fridays in the office. Mondays consist of Bible Interaction homework (which is digging into a book of the Bible and learning as much as possible about the background of it and then we answer 7 questions from a portion of that book). Then after Bible Interaction we have some one come in and pour into us for several hours, the teaching we receive ranges from practical ministry skills to life skills to you name it! It’s great! For tomorrow we are looking at Romans 12 (one of my favorite chapters of the whole Bible) and one of the questions has been a punch to the stomach for me. It isn’t the most profound question but it has rocked me! Here it is and below are my answers! I pray God uses it in your life as well! [Read more…]

I was reading some blogs this morning and I happened to stumble across this John Piper/Michael Jackson remix! Yeah you heard that right – John Piper/Michael Jackson remix! My roommate and I both laughed out loud as we watched it. For those of you that followed my old blog you probably know that I am a huge Piper fan, he has been one of the biggest influences I have had in my walk with Christ, apart from Christ Himself and the Bible that is!

Thanks for stopping by my newest space on the world wide web! My man Clint, over at Subdesign Studios, hooked me up with a great new site and a beautiful design! I’m in the process of taking some of my better posts from my former two blogs and post them up here and I hopefully will fill out the site soon. I haven’t gone public with this being up, so if you have stumbled across this and wondered, “What the heck is Zach doing?” No fear things will be up and going soon. Thank you for your patience until we are up and running!

So yesterday I made the drive from Xenia, OH to Lake Geneva, WI and it was a good trip! The iPod was full of sermons and podcasts I needed to get caught up on and I made some phone calls that were productive! Now I am trying to figure out what to today and who to visit. But I wanted to post briefly to wish you a Blessed & Merry Christmas! I know I haven’t been posting much because of work and the new site coming soon, but know lots of cool things are in the works. I’ve posted a couple of my talks up as a podcast, so check those out.

Tonight I was watching some videos on YouTube and I stumbled across an amazing video about a safety at Boise State who has encountered the Risen King! It is always fun to here stories of upside downness!

So I am studying Romans for a talk I will be giving at RiverValley Church on the 19th and I came across a great quote form Martin Luther on the importance of studying the great book of Romans:

“Romans is worthy not only that every Christian should know it word for word, by heart, but occupy himself with it every day, as the daily bread of the soul. It can never be read or pondered too much, and the more it is dealt with the more precious it becomes, and the better it tastes.”

On Tuesday Jeremy camp released his new cd, Beyond Measure, and I snatched it up on iTunes right away that morning. I have been very blessed by it over the last two days. It is a very God thing that it hits home with what is going on with my life right now! Here are the words for the title track, I pray they bless you too!
