I'm Not Ed Young Jr.
Once and for all, let me set the record straight... [youtube SWedN5fk4O0 500 315] Once and for all I want to set the record straight. I’m not Ed Young, Jr. I repeat! I’m not Ed Young, Jr.! Why in the world some people tag me as Ed Young, Jr. I will never know. Dad is named H. Edwin Young. Homer Edwin Young. Thank the Lord he didn’t name me Homer. I am Edwin Barry Young. My son is the true Ed Young, Jr. I’ll say it ...
It's Time to Land the Jet!
Men - it's time to commit and land the jet! Let me hear from you about how you're committed, where you're committed and who you're committed to! [youtube qiaL7hoOTWU 500 315] Comment here and follow me on Facebook or on Twitter! One time Lisa and I were on a flight leaving Las Vegas and after we took off, the pilot said, “You know what?

Record Numbers!!
[youtube NkqjkHBvYSo 500 315] Over the last couple of weekends we’ve had record numbers at Fellowship Church. I’m talking about in the 20-year history of our church we’ve had more people over the last several weeks than ever before. That’s awesome! That’s great! There’s nothing like it! But Fellowship Church began 20 years ago right here in a little section of MacArthur Commons office complex. We just rented this sectio...

Are You a Connector or a Climber?
[youtube 7V4r6UxQJQk 500 315] Social media is absolutely amazing! But, those of us who are on social media, Facebook, Twitter, whatever, we’re either connectors or climbers. Social media was invented to connect, and that’s great to connect. It’s amazing! But so often we turn into climbers. We say we’re connecting but we’re really climbing. We say things like, “I’m blessed,” or “I’m honored,” or, “I want to ...
The Most Important Aspect of Leadership!
[youtube HrEgtJTIQ8Y 500 315] Discernment, discernment, discernment. The most important aspect of leadership. That’s right, discernment. To really understand and process discernment you have to drill down into people’s lives. To do that, man, all Hell will break loose. All Heaven will break loose as well. You’ll discover who is with you, who’s just for you, and who ultimately will use you. Discernment, though, is where it’s ...
Take a Break!
[youtube oWJ4kbw6ToA 500 315] If you don’t take breaks, your schedule will break you. So often in my travels I talk to leaders and pastors and I ask them, “How often do you take breaks?” and most bow their head in shame and their spouse looks just really, really downtrodden because they’ve not missed a Sunday or weekend in a long, long time. I want to challenge you to miss three, that’s right, three weekends, three ...
The Best Medicine
Too often, we take ourselves too seriously and we don’t take God seriously enough. In fact, that’s one of the things that kept me from going into the ministry for a while. Too many pastors are so serious and boring and monotonous. I thought to myself, “I don’t want any of that!” As I read God’s Word more, though, I realized that God wants us to laugh. And I'm so thankful to have friends in ...
