How to Become Fabulously Rich

February 27, 2017April 23, 2017 / prestonsearcy / 1 Comment

Last week, I shared that mine and Rachel's bikes and tools were stolen from our garage. A couple hours after posting that blog, a brother and sister in Christ generously gave us their very nice bikes. As Rachel road her new bike around the block she said, “This is the best bike I’ve ever ridden.” On … Continue reading How to Become Fabulously Rich

A Personal Update

February 13, 2017April 23, 2017 / prestonsearcy / 4 Comments

This feels like a good week to give a personal update to those who are interested. First, a quick summary of the adventure that started six months ago. God revealed to Rachel and me that it was time to think about starting a family. The way he wants us to start a family is by adopting children. So … Continue reading A Personal Update

Why Friendship Matters

February 6, 2017April 23, 2017 / prestonsearcy / Leave a comment

Mark stormed into our office. He was breathing heavily and smelled like alcohol. “What’s the problem, Mark?” Jeff asked. “You call the housing authority and tell them to forget it,” Mark replied in anger. “I’m tired of being on the streets. Tired of waiting. If they’re going to be this way about it, I don’t … Continue reading Why Friendship Matters

I first met Gene when he wandered into the Midtown Cafe asking for spiritual guidance. With some help from volunteers and local pastors, Gene learned the gospel, placed his faith in Jesus, and got baptized. He was on fire for Jesus and wanted everyone to know his story. Sometimes he stood up in the middle … Continue reading How We Love With Prayer

What is Leadership?

I’ve been struggling to produce a blog every week. I used to sit down and hammer out a month’s worth of material, but lately I’ve written each post a day or two in advance. Some weeks I’ve written two or three rough drafts and scrapped them after realizing my half-hearted, half-baked opinions aren’t interesting. There’s … Continue reading What is Leadership?

What Is Church?

December 5, 2016April 23, 2017 / prestonsearcy / 2 Comments

While I was at work the other day, I pulled out a giant flip chart, grabbed a Sharpie, and started writing down questions. A smart guy once said, “The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality.” In a neighborhood like mine, defining reality involves asking a lot of questions. I wrote things like … Continue reading What Is Church?

Simplicity

October 26, 2015October 16, 2016 / prestonsearcy / Leave a comment

I am called to live a simple life. This is my most difficult value to live out. I could take the easy way out and blame our consumeristic culture for my personal failures at pursuing a truly simple life. But I know that the root of my greed and desire to accumulate more stuff comes … Continue reading Simplicity
