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 [...]
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, [...]
I’m guessing that most of you know what that mysteriously disembodied hand is holding… The one and only iPhone - when Google is searched for the keywords “iphone phenomenon”, 949,000 results pop up. The iphone is truly a phenomenon (except for the fact that you can’t get it in Western, KS - a blundering [...]
I’m at camp this week and found a second to get on and post. The week is going great! We have a wonderful bunch of kids and I can’t wait to see what God does in them. Last night we talked about how tempting the world can be but how rewarding it [...]
“They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings - and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.” -Revelation 17:14 I have been reading Revelation lately, I came across this verse last night and just kept getting sucked back to [...]
