Aka, Bryan Sharpe – The Unbreakable Man. Who are you when no one is looking? Your answer to this question will provide the context for how we proceed. Integrity is a concept foreign to my generation. Being who you are, no matter who you’re with – is very rare. Unfortunately, this rarity has in many

There’s an insidious strain of apathy making it’s way around the internet these days. A growing sense that our lives are no longer our own, or that the decisions we make are ultimately up to someone else.

People come in all shapes, sizes, colors and hues. This is not news. What is news apparently, is our ability to transcend these divisions and reunify under the banner of one humanity. One love.

Reality can be a doozy. Often times, it can even render us immobilized. Whether out of fear, anxiety, or from literal physical limitations. Life doesn’t pull punches. Often leaving many feeling like the proverbial “deer in headlights.” Or worse, like Nate Robinson after a ill advised bout. But then, there’s Will. He instead decides to

Alvy Butler

There are people who have a knack for seeing the good. An overall disposition that allows for greater perspective, no matter the situation. Alvy Butler, Jr. is one of those people. An individual fully committed to his walk with Christ, and equally as such in loving folks as they are. And really, that’s the goal
