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 [...]
Last night I was reading the Revelation of John, I read these words Jesus spoke to the Church in Ephesus: Revelation 2:4-5 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. I started thinking about how I lived [...]
Jenni and I have grown quite fond of the show “Eli Stone” on ABC. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a show about a modern day prophet who is slowly growing into the fact that “God” is leading him to do certain things. The show does a pretty good job at not [...]
Click on Pictures below to see larger version So Jenni & I woke up this morning to the sight of a large evergreen split in half and fallen on our double wide. This comes less than 12 hours after hitting the deer with our car. It looks like there wasn’t any damage to the [...]
If you are a K-State fan or a sports fan at all, you surely know the name Michael Beasley. What an achievement to move from your freshman year in college straight to the NBA draft with the expectation that you will be the No. 1 pick! I can’t imagine in a two year time period going [...]
1 Corinthians 9:21-23 (New International Version) 21To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. 22To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all [...]
Below is my letter to Bible Christian Church. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to write: Dear Friends and Family, It has been six years since I began working as the High School Youth Minister for Bible Christian Church. I have had the distinct pleasure of working with many [...]
