Perhaps the scariest part about planting a church is not the question of where or how. You know, “where will the money come from?” or “how will we find the people who need to know God?” The scariest part is sitting in complete faith that God has all of that lined out. You see, I’m [...]
Last night I was reading the Revelation of John, I read these words Jesus spoke to the Church in Ephesus: Revelation 2:4-5 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. I started thinking about [...]
The average successful Church Plant will cost a minimum of $300,000 over a three year period. My figures are closer to $500,000. The question may cross your mind as it does mine: “Why so much?” The answer lies in the complexity of starting a Church, from scratch, that is able to maintain a viable presence [...]
I have been reading this book, Jim & Casper Go to Church. The idea is that this Pastor hires an Atheist to go to Church with him at some influential Churches across the country, and then they dialogue over their experience. It has been a pretty interesting read. Perhaps the best part of the whole [...]
Here are some things you can be praying about this week for Jenni and I. I am interviewing with CEA of Kansas (a Church Planting organization) – please pray for wisdom for these men and for the opportunity to join together to plant Epic Church. The house Jenni and I currently live in has been [...]
Today I have officially traveled around the sun 30 times! It is… My Birfday! Yesterday Jenni threw a birthday party for me and her entire family (pictured below) came to visit! It was a blast, we had a bunch of friends there as well. We started at a park but soon decided to move indoors [...]
Tonight I challenged our youth group to read the book of Romans! I am going to read the first chapter or two tonight! I can’t wait. Romans tells the story of how we grow in a Relationship with God through Jesus. It doesn’t get better than that!
There is this trailer park just outside of Garden City, I just can’t get it out of my mind. It is inbetween Holcomb & Garden. The people living there are living in 3rd world conditions. I feel like we have to do something about it, help those people – live out the love of Christ. [...]
Jenni and I have grown quite fond of the show “Eli Stone” on ABC. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a show about a modern day prophet who is slowly growing into the fact that “God” is leading him to do certain things. The show does a pretty good job at not giving homage to [...]
Jenni and I stopped in Wal-Mart today to talk with a friend from Bible Christian today. She was telling us how she had grown up at BCC (she has been there since a baby) and remembers going to Church in an old school building before the church had its own building. It was interesting to [...]
