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. [...]
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 honest. [...]
From time to time I like to forward blog posts. I read this on Joe Boyd Live.com and thought I would share it. It has been a blast to see what God is doing through Aviator Church and to have had the privilege of working alongside them on our missions trips! Please take some time [...]
Another step in the strategy to plant Epic Church is to become involved in the community at an organizational level. This means finding events and activities that Epic Churches launch team can get involved in through service. We will hand out bottles of water, give out balloons to children, serve where ever we possibly can. [...]

I have been thinking all day about a question: What would I like to see accomplished in the Kingdom of God before I die? I hope this doesn’t seem morbid. But I am evaluating my life, my call, my mission. I am only given so much time on this earth - what am I going to do [...]
One thing that I want Epic Church to be known for more than anything is our love! I have a feeling that God wants the Church to be involved in the life of our community infecting it with the love of God. A new exercise that I have been performing in my own life [...]
Doctor Visit on Tuesday - Jenni and I went to the doctor to see how things are progressing with the pregnancy. Everything looks great, Peter is growing like a champ! When the doc was measuring Jenni’s belly, Peter shifted like crazy and Jenni’s stomach looked like an ocean wave went through it, it was crazy, [...]
