Just wondering what it would look like if churches stopped trying to be “found” and started finding people? I think it would take individuals engaging the mission of connecting people to God, one person at a time. And it would take the church offering opportunities for us to go out and live out that mission [...]
Lately I have been busy, I mean really busy. I have had more on my plate than I even care to articulate. It hasn’t been bad, I enjoy having a lot to do. What I have found though, is that the tyranny of the urgent can cause you to loose site of the fundamentals. For [...]
All week long I am preparing for our missions groups that are coming into town next week. I am really looking forward to all that they are going to do and how they will impact the community! If you read my blog, I would love to have you join with me in prayer that these [...]
I can’t tell you how nice it is to be in a house again! Jenni and I have been moving around for the last 2 years like vagabonds, living in small, cramped, dark places as we prepared to move to Andover to plant Epic. It has all been worth it, but now that we are [...]

Rock Andover.com is our new church missions portal for Epic Church. We want to provide world class missions opportunities for churches and youth groups to experience the power of culturally relevant evangelism and community service! We believe that we can completely and eternally alter Andover through these trips! I can’t wait to see how God [...]
I just returned from Joplin and it’s crazy late. I am excited about the things God is doing! I had a great meeting today with Robin Sigars, Drew Ashwell, Kevin & Courtney (potential staff) and the 4 State Men’s Group. I have been meeting like crazy the last 4 days and it really all seems [...]
So, I am currently on another Wichita trip that is chocked full of meetings with Pastors and Community leaders. Yesterday I met with pastors from East-side Community Church (great guys – know what they are talking about, can’t wait to learn from them), Riverlawn (Jeff Isaacs has been nothing but supportive – he is a [...]
