He is Worthy! @SSPreacherman
Ever since Curt Mize introduced me to Andrew Peterson’s “Is He Worthy?,” I have watched it dozens of times. I cannot get enough of it, and as I watch it, tears of joy come to my eyes and I lift my hands in praise because He is worthy. He is the Lion of Judah and…

I Heard It Through the Manicotti? @SSPreacherman
I (Sonya) am a Pinterest junkie at times. For those that do not know Pinterest like I know Pinterest, let me explain. Pinterest is a site that will make you believe you are the next HGTV star, the next Cake Boss and a cross between Martha Stewart and Julia Childs. In my obsession, I have…

Hoping For Fake News @SSPreacherman
I am heartbroken! I was caught totally off-guard by a Facebook post linking to a news story about Dr. Frank Page stepping down as the Executive Director of the Southern Baptist Convention due to a “morally inappropriate relationship.” I was certain that it was “fake news,” so I went to Google to verify my belief.…

The Loneliest Number
Having a background in Psychology and Counseling, I (Sonya) have gone through quite a bit of training in emotional well-being. In my recent studies of the Bible, I have realized how many different emotions Jesus displayed. Read through the gospels, and you will find that Jesus displayed affection, agitation, anguish, anger, compassion, distress, exhaustion, gladness,…

Trading Spaces @SSPreacherman
Beginning in February, Sonya and I entered into a new ministry. I have accepted the call to become the pastor of First Baptist Church Dadeville. In making this transition, we have discovered some things that we knew but have come to realize with greater intensity. Our home in Decatur is approximately 1800 sq. feet with…

I am so tired of picking up a newspaper or hearing another story about an individual picking up a weapon and killing innocent children…

It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye #SSPreacherman
Most of you never knew Sonya’s mother – Granny is what everyone called her. She was an amazing lady. She could cook like you wouldn’t believe. She was a seamstress extra-ordinaire. She was full of wisdom and mischief and life. She was an amazing lady. One of the most amazing things about Granny is that…

It is Time! @SSPreacherman
It is Time These words evoke an avalanche of thoughts and memories. Some are welcome; others come creeping back in when we least want them to. We will always remember when Sonya was pregnant with our children. When the time came for Jennifer to enter the world, we were young, in college, and completely clueless.…

Lessons Learned #SSPreacherman
Several months ago, I decided that I wanted to change up an old table that we used in our kitchen. This table had already been in another home, and it is not unlikely that we were its third home by now. In other words, it was well-used and well-loved, but change is one of those…

I Was Created For…. @SSPreacherman
Have you ever spent time in prayer wondering about why you were created? A few years ago, I (Sonya) was inspired to do just that during a revival service. This is what I came up with: I was created to inhale His Holy breath. I was created to leave my land and begin a journey to…
