I just returned home from a long day. Eight hours of travel mixed with about Eight hours of encouraging contacts with some wonderful leaders in Wichita. I have to say I am encouraged about what God is doing in Wichita through the men that I met today and their leadership in their churches and community. [...]
We all have experienced the crunch at the gas pumps lately, and unfortunately there seems to be no sign of relief in the near future. The high price of gas is making the local neighborhood church more and more of a necessity to reach people who don’t have a relationship with Jesus. Kent Shaffer did [...]
I was recently thinking back to the time when I didn’t know God. I knew of God, I knew of Jesus, but I was truly disconnected from Him – I didn’t have a relationship with Him. I was trying to share with some of our teenagers just how hopeless those days were. Death was constantly [...]
The bad news (as far as Jenni is concerned- if the wife aint happy…): Well, we went to the Doctor again today. Seems like we are probably going to not have Peter on the outside till the 2nd of Sept. We go in to the hospital that morning to be induced, unless something drastically changes, [...]

Induction: if we don’t go naturally by Sept 2nd then Jenni will be induced that morning at 5:30am! So, we will for sure have a baby on the outside within the next two weeks! Reduction: I have been fasting in prayer over the location of Epic Church. I would love to encourage those of you [...]
Today Jenni and I get to go to the doctor again and hear our baby’s heart beat. It’s a crazy thing to think the next time we hear it our baby may be on the outside! I can’t wait! I’ll tell ya this, Jenni is the best wife – I am a blessed man! She [...]
Sometimes you just need a good whack! Jenni and I have really been wrestling with where the exact location of Epic Church is going to rest. We have been looking over demographics and cost of living, where our strategy would fit best, etc. It really has been a little bit frustrating if I were totally [...]
