Seems about once a week, a new term comes out in our crazy culture, and several times a year, they stick. Gaslighting is one of those terms. Have you heard it recently? Not sure what it is? It might sound new, but it really isn’t.

“A real friend walks in when the rest of the world walks out,” the old journalist Walter Winchell used to say. If you have ever experienced the world walking out on you, you don’t forget the friends who walk in. Those friends are priceless. You don’t ever want to lose them. At our core, people […]

Churches are all over the map when it comes to baptism, from the denominations who minimize the importance of it all the way to those who say it’s necessary for salvation. So, in today’s edition of “What does the Bible say about…,” I’d like to share a little on what the Bible has to say […]

The world loves a good superhero. Since the release of Iron Man in 2008, the Marvel Universe and its epic gang of superheroes have raked in billions of dollars worldwide. These numbers don't even include the DC Universe. (You can only choose one.) The market is flooded with superhero movies, TV shows, and cartoons. You would think we might get tired of seeing Black Panther or Black Widow save the day. But we don't. Hollywood keeps churning out movies, and we keep paying to watch them.

Recently, my wife and I returned home from a couple days with friends doing ministry, and I found something wrapped in butcher’s paper in the refrigerator. At first, I couldn’t tell what it was. Then, my wife unwrapped it, and a cold realization came over me because it was two of the juiciest, thickest, finely-cut […]

It’s hard for us to understand, living in a culture that teaches us from the youngest ages that we are supposed to feel our way into love. Everything we look at tells us to wait for those butterflies. Wait for it. Wait for it. There it is. That’s what you’re supposed to feel like. But God’s optics show us the truth about real love. It’s Opposite Day when it comes to real love.

Have you noticed how many people are not paying attention to what they’re paying attention to? Ever notice that? Let me say it a little differently. People are not thinking about what they’re thinking about. Still, sound strange? Maybe this will help. When I was growing up, adults would always rag on our music. You’re […]

We’ve been talking a lot about optics lately. It’s a hot topic—how news events can be spun to favor one point of view over another, and how seemingly, the optics of everything can trump the reality of anything! But how do optics affect our heart…and our desire for genuine love? We don’t have to look […]

Have you ever encountered someone who seems to literally change their convictions with the wind? One day, they're all conservative and Fox News-watching on nearly everything. The next day, they're watching only CNN, and everything they say comes from a hard left perspective. Obviously, their convictions couldn’t have been that deep to begin with, and they weren't very deeply rooted. If they were, then they wouldn't get pulled up—swayed—so easily by the smallest of efforts.

Exclusive Private Virtual Event – “Narcissism and Breaking Its Hold”
Narcissism is at an all-time high. And it’s not just because we’ve become a society obsessed with how we look and making sure we’re #1. It’s because we’ve put ourselves at the center of our lives instead of God. Join Pastor Rob in this 45-minute private event, where he will discuss the challenges facing society today and how we can make powerful changes in our lives to break the self-centered hold and embrace a God-centered life.

Exclusive Live Webinar – “How to Help Your Teen Break Free of Social Media Addiction”
While it might not (yet) be considered a clinical addition, many in society can’t go 5 minutes without checking their phone to see how many likes they have for their latest post, or how many comments people have left. And our teens are especially susceptible. After all, they’ve been all but raised with a device in their hands. How do we help this next generation deal with the debilitating side effects social media can have on us? In this 90-minute webinar, Pastor Rob will discuss the issue and provide practical ways we can help our teens navigate these formative years in a positive way. There will also be a live Q & A session at the end. (A link to the recorded webinar will be provided after the live event.)
Overliked by Rob Singleton is a tome for such a time as this. Even though I work on television, I also make a living through social media. Coincidently, right before I started reading the pre-release copy, I had checked my "Likes'" and numbers on social media! How was I doing? Were my numbers growing? Declining? Did a few drop off?
It's so easy to get our self-esteem and self-worth tied to those likes and numbers.
Through Pastor Rob's book, we learn how frivolous and fake it can all be and ultimately, how it can lead to a miserable and unfulfilled life if left unchecked. The tools, scriptures, and "change of heart" takeaways that Pastor Rob provides at the end of each chapter help considerably shift the focus from there…to in here. He gently, but with statistics and examples, gives us a guide us to live a more authentic life.
In the book, Pastor Rob says, "Honesty is what sets us up for authentic relationships," and isn't that what we really all want?
As a woman over 40 in Hollywood, the expectations have never been higher. Overliked sites that, in one 12-month period, YouTube logged 169 billion views just for beauty-related content. Beauty is good… perfection is lethal. And don't I know it? I am on high-definition TV with glaring set lights, standing next to 20- to 30-year old young women daily; it's a test to stay solid and secure in your own skin.
I was posting perfectly lit and curated pictures of my "Beautiful" (heavily filtered) life; people followed and viewed but scrolled right along. However, when I let down the curtain, turned off the filter, and decided to share my real-life sorrows and struggles with cancer, the comments, words, notes, and numbers flooded. People want to see my honesty and weaknesses because they can relate.
Overliked shows us that when we pretend to be perfect, the only person we are hurting is ourselves.
Pastor Rob's easy and relatable storytelling draws the reader in. We find that our weaknesses become our strengths to help us touch, encourage, and heal others, not just impress them.
Thank you for this very needed and essential book that helps us realize that being real is the only way to have a true connection with our Lord and our friends and family.
In Overliked, through story references of David, we learn the Lord encourages us all to ignore appearance and stature. "For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)
This book is an important message for developing authenticity in our lives, which is far more critical than adding strangers, getting fake followers, and creating a heavily-filtered life experience. I promise you will really "LIKE" it.
