April 2, 2018 by tomfodi Leave a Comment

I do a lot of stuff and have a lot of interests. However, one thing I absolutely am not is a car expert. I’m the last person who should be offering any kind of thorough and detailed review on a car. However, I am a guy who has had a secret love affair with one … [Read more…]

Tom Talks: Pray Different, Lead us not into Temptation

March 13, 2018 by tomfodi

Stuck near the end of the Lord’s Prayer is the line “lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” Christians around the world pray this prayer daily.

Tom Talks: Pray Different. Forgive Us Our Trespasses.

March 7, 2018 by tomfodi Leave a Comment

In this second installment of a six-week teaching series based on the Lord’s Prayer, I reflect on the difference between our “thoughts and … [Read more…]

Tom Talks: Love Does – Be Not Afraid

January 31, 2018 by tomfodi

I continue the “Love Does” teaching series by considering one of the biggest reasons many fail to act on the love God calls us to have for others – fear. What are you afraid of? What lines are you afraid to cross? What rules are you afraid to break in the name of love?

January 13, 2018 by tomfodi

We had a big winter storm blow through the Pittsburgh region. Bellevue, the community in which I live (which means “Beautiful View” in french), was blanketed in 6″ of fresh snow. When we woke up this morning it was like waking up in a pristine winter wonderland outside. I simply had to get my DJI … [Read more…]
