Words from Kris D. Murphy
i’m working thru some old teaching content and videos and such…i’m TRYING to be better about posting good stuff here, so today i’m sharing an old teaching. Psalm 90. It’s about basketball, Moses, and the hype vs. hope. Let me know what u think… Interested in more of my teaching stuff? Check out my SPEAKING/TEACHING […]
This. Week. As i sit here and stare at my screen, i try to find adjectives to properly describe this week. i am speechless. i am without speech. These are the weeks when i GET that guy in the Bible who said, “I believe Lord, help my unbelief!” i GET it. This. Week. i watched my daughter […]

I’m sad its over. The book ends with a charge of sorts. It challenged me to consider my definition of true success. And, […]
