I think one of the hardest things for me is keeping the vision crystal clear in my own mind of what I am called to do as a church planter. Last night I went on a walk and just prayed, asking God to continue to formulate His vision for Epic Church and Andover [...]
In January we are going to kick off the first series in our new sermon shorts. I’m going to be putting video podcasts online each week. The first series we’re going to be doing is called “Living With No Regrets - a look at the book of Acts”. With the new year [...]
Are you bullish or bearish? This is a great question to ask when it comes to church planting. I think now is the time to be bullish! With the current financial temperature of our country and world there is no better time to be investing financially in things that matter spiritually. There are [...]
Man, the Andover Hometown Christmas was amazing! I am really impressed with the Andover Chamber of Commerce. They did a phenomenal job with this event. Epic Church ended up having 14 volunteers show up! It was a blast, thanks to all who helped pull this off! God is doing some cool things at Epic Church!
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 [...]

We believe that we can completely and eternally alter Andover through these trips! I can’t wait to see how God uses [...]
I just returned from Joplin and it’s crazy late. I am excited about the things God is doing! I had a great meeting today with Robin Sigars, Drew Ashwell, Kevin & Courtney (potential staff) and the 4 State Men’s Group. I have been meeting like crazy the last 4 days and it really all seems like [...]
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 [...]
So, I am currently on another Wichita trip that is chocked full of meetings with Pastors and Community leaders. Yesterday I met with pastors from East-side Community Church (great guys - know what they are talking about, can’t wait to learn from them), Riverlawn (Jeff Isaacs has been nothing but supportive - he is a [...]
Hebrews 10:24 Just like you need other people in your life to help you grow and connect with God, other people need you. You have a wealth of wisdom and life experience that is the key to unlocking an issue or problem in another person’s life. You have a distinct gift that God has given you in [...]
