Tonight, I went to go see the movie The Drop Box, which is the story of Pastor Lee Jong-rak, a pastor in Seoul who had set up a “drop box” at the front of his church to rescue babies that would otherwise be abandoned. I had seen several emails come across my inbox advertising the movie […]
I had a few people ask for a copy of the eulogy that I read today at Dan’s funeral. Below are the words that I said. Hi, my name is Todd Porter and Dan Nagele was my youth pastor growing up. Daniel Alan Nagele was born on August 1, 1962 in Kingston, NY and was […]
I came back from another mission trip and it once again has changed me, but this time it seems a little different. I saw something while I was on this trip to Guatemala with Faith In Action that completely humbled me. It really ruined me. It wasn’t until I read the final day in our devotion and […]

Carlos Whittaker has challenged his social media followers to get fit by the fourth of July and I have accepted this challenge. I have already started the process about two weeks ago when I started the Advocare 24 Day Challenge, but I liked the idea of joining up with a group of people to do this. I […]
On Sunday, March 16, I spoke in my church about our spending habits. Before anyone gets nervous I want to put you at ease and let you know that I was talking primarily about our time. When I was in Haiti in February of this year as I was going through our team devotional that Northwest […]
