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 [...]
We have been looking for a house in Andover for quite some time. The honest truth is it has been a little discouraging and frustrating. Everything that we would find even worth looking at would get snatched up right away (a good sign that the area is growing but hard to find a house). When [...]

So, does anyone else “Twitter“? It’s a quick way to update people on your life and what you are doing. I just started, not sure if I will like it or not. I suppose that will be determined by my friends and whether they get on board. Jump in and start tweeting!
So, as you may have read, we started a missions portal for churches to come serve with us at Epic Church. Today I created this flyer to give to youth ministers at a conference I’m going to. Let me know what you think!
Lately I have been thinking about the little things and how much they matter. My personality tends to be all about the BIG THINGS. Big things matter and are important, but I am finding more and more that without the little things, big things fall short. Paul has been convicting me of this. I’ve been [...]
We are planning an event for Teachers and employees of Andover’s school system. We are going to provide free childcare for them on Valentines Day Night so they can go out and have a good time and not have to worry about getting someone to watch their kids! I am so excited about this event! We [...]
