It is not an easy thing to raise money. Hah, I know this revelation probably finds you with your mouth wide open and scratching your head, but it’s true. Raising money is a hard thing to do, especially when the only thing you have to offer is a vision of what the future will [...]
I just got back from a lunch with a good friend at BCC. I was telling him how the funding that we had been hoping to get had fallen through, see this post, and how bummed out I was. He started to tell me how his kids had decided, after my last sermon, that they wanted [...]
John 3:30. Perhaps there is nothing more humbling than planting a church (surely there is - like having your skirt caught by the wind or something of that nature). The problem with church planting is that the humblings (that’s my own personal word) keep coming. They come because there is very little about the process that [...]
This is a quick look video at the state of the American church - it is very informative and very shocking. This is why we need new churches! If you have not yet partnered with Jenni and I to plant Epic Church and would like a simple method to do so, click on this link [...]
I just heard Ed Stetzer on the Planting Channel talking about some statistics about the North American Church. One of the things he said was that North America is the only continent where the Gospel is losing ground rather than advancing.  He said most church growth has been transfer growth. We have to be planting [...]
So, the question is, “How do you connect through Epic Church?” There are several ways you can connect with people at Epic Church. Initially you can join us on our Launch Team. Once Jenni and I move to Andover we will be meeting weekly with a group of committed families and individuals to talk about how [...]
Last night I lead a discussion with our ministry team leaders at BCC. We looked at what it means to have clarity in our process of making disciples. We talked about the need for people to know exactly what they are getting into and what we expect of them. It’s funny, none of us would [...]
So today as I was driving home from lunch, I was praying about Epic Church and on a whim decided to call information and see if I could get in touch with someone about the Andover YMCA (it’s one of the locations that we would love to meet in and partner with.). I called [...]
I was talking with a woman in our church recently who has a grandson in Andover that doesn’t go to church. When she heard about Epic Church going into Andover she was so excited that I might be able to make a connection with her grandson and hopefully help him find his way back to God! [...]
I’m not usually a blogger, but this is too funny to keep to myself, so here goes. I haven’t been sleeping very well at night, so I come out in the living room to mess around on the computer so I don’t keep Kent up with my tossing and turning. Well, last night, I finally decided [...]
I am finding that the one thing that seems to haunt me as a I seek to plant Epic Church is the pressure to act like I have it all together. It is a huge temptation for me. The problem is, I don’t know it all, I don’t have it all together, I have [...]
Last night Jenni and I met with the Missions Ministry of Bible Christian Church. It was a really good meeting. I love getting to share the vision of Epic Church! There is something in me that says I was born for this! I am sold that we will stand/fight/and die on the field of reaching [...]
