I can't wait to release this new course on evangelism in May 2026. Here is a sneak peak. Over the last 30 years, I have had a chance to lead hundreds of people to Christ through personal conversations and so excited to share what I have learned.

The problem is not your passion. The problem is not your preparation. The problem is not even your content. Sometimes the problem is the package. God did not write the Bible in one format. Psalms is not Romans. Proverbs is not Revelation. He packaged eternal truth in poetry, narrative, prophecy, and letters because He knew different people needed different doors. So do your people. The Sermon Outline Blueprint gives you 11 frameworks to open more doors every single Sunday. Same truth. Better package. Bigger impact. Releasing April 21 on Amazon.

When I played football, my coach handed me a playbook before the season started. It wasn't thick, but it had everything — every formation, every assignment, every route for every play. If I knew my playbook, I knew exactly what to do when I stepped on the field. If I didn't, I was speculating. And guessing gets you beat. I've been thinking about life the same way lately. Most of us are out here guessing in our relationships, our finances, our decisions, our spiritual lives. We're reacting instead of running plays. And we wonder why things feel chaotic or stuck or like we keep ending up in the same situations we swore we'd never be in again. That's exactly why I built The Wisdom Playbook. The book of Proverbs is God's playbook for life. It shows you where to line up, what your assignment is, and how to move when it counts. This course takes that ancient wisdom and puts it in language you can actually use — in your everyday life, in real situations, not just in a Bible study classroom. The Wisdom Playbook: 1.

Proverbs 18:21 There’s a moment you barely remember—a comment tossed out in a meeting, a joke at the dinner table, a text sent in frustration. You moved on, but someone else didn’t. That sentence became a soundtrack in their mind, replaying for weeks, months, even years. In a world where words are cheap and constant, we forget that every phrase has a shelf life far longer than we intend. Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Solomon isn’t exaggerating. Words can wound or heal, build or destroy, set someone free or keep them stuck. The tongue is a loaded weapon, and most of us are walking around with the safety off. The truth is, you don’t get to choose which words stick. You only get to choose what you say. The gospel calls us to something better. Jesus said, “Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.” If you want your words to bring life, you have to start with your heart. Fill it with grace, humility, and truth, and your speech will follow. The world is full of careless talk, but you can be the person whose words echo with hope, healing, and encouragement. You can be as close to wisdom as you want to be. And that journey starts with choosing your words on purpose. Live It Out 1. PersonalBefore you speak today—especially in a moment of frustration—pause and ask, “Will this sentence be a wound or a blessing if it echoes for years?” Choose to speak life, even if it means saying less. 2. RelationalReach out to someone you know you’ve hurt with your words (recently or long ago). Apologize specifically, and ask how you can make it right. Healing starts with humility. 3. Outward-FacingSend a text or note to someone who needs encouragement. Use Proverbs 18:21 and write one sentence of life-giving affirmation. Let them know their story isn’t defined by the worst thing ever said to them.
