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 [...]
Jenni’s sister Katie is a really good photographer, she took some pictures of Peter and put them on her website, you can see them here. If you live in Wichita or nearby, I’m sure she would love to shoot for you and she is really reasonably priced!
So, today is the day that Jenni and I celebrate our weddedness!!! I am the luckiest man in the world to be married to my sweet Jenni! I was just an “ok” man before I met her, but knowing her has changed me forever in the very best ways! I don’t know how I made it [...]
I love good stories. Today I got to eat with one of my best friends, Matt - he’s a plowman by trade. We ate a ton of chips and had a good time talking and hanging out. Matt told me two stories, one about John McCain and the other about a fairytale in a foreign land. [...]
Tonight, Jenni and I have another prayer meeting at BCC from 7-8:30pm. I am excited to get to share our vision and plan to plant Epic Church in Andover. We really desire to be sent from BCC as opposed to be being seen as leaving. I feel like the only way this will be accomplished [...]
So next week Jenni and I are meeting some folks from Andover who have been looking for a church and haven’t really found a home! We are really looking forward to meeting them. I love how God connects people. Honestly, I feel like every time we take a step of faith, we find that God [...]
Today is the sweetest girl in the worlds birthday! Happy birthday Jenni! I can’t believe that I get to wake up next to you every day! Here are just a few of the things I love about you: You have a smile that makes me melt! You can make me laugh like no one else You really cares about [...]
