We all have experienced the crunch at the gas pumps lately, and unfortunately there seems to be no sign of relief in the near future. The high price of gas is making the local neighborhood church more and more of a necessity to reach people who don’t have a relationship with Jesus. Kent Shaffer did [...]
I was recently thinking back to the time when I didn’t know God. I knew of God, I knew of Jesus, but I was truly disconnected from Him - I didn’t have a relationship with Him. I was trying to share with some of our teenagers just how hopeless those days were. [...]
Sometimes you just need a good whack! Jenni and I have really been wrestling with where the exact location of Epic Church is going to rest. We have been looking over demographics and cost of living, where our strategy would fit best, etc. It really has been a little bit frustrating if I were totally honest. [...]
From time to time I like to forward blog posts. I read this on Joe Boyd Live.com and thought I would share it. It has been a blast to see what God is doing through Aviator Church and to have had the privilege of working alongside them on our missions trips! Please take some time [...]
Another step in the strategy to plant Epic Church is to become involved in the community at an organizational level. This means finding events and activities that Epic Churches launch team can get involved in through service. We will hand out bottles of water, give out balloons to children, serve where ever we possibly can. [...]
I’m sure many of you may have questions about how someone goes about developing a church from two people to, well, more than two. Well, let’s have a look-see at that question: Jenni and I plan on hitting the ground running. We are going to do everything we can to meet people. We [...]
I’m not usually a blogger, but this is too funny to keep to myself, so here goes. I haven’t been sleeping very well at night, so I come out in the living room to mess around on the computer so I don’t keep Kent up with my tossing and turning. Well, last night, I finally decided [...]
I am finally back from camp. My good friend Aaron gave me the opportunity to come and be the missionary at Camp Ciokomo with the best 4th-5th graders in the world! It was a blast, the kids raised a lot of money and we had fund doing it! The best part of camp, though, was coming [...]
So, Jenni and I moved into my grandma’s condo (with the help of about 15 amazing guys and gals - I sprained my ankle after our first night and it was and is black and blue and hurting like the dickens.). We found out we are having a boy!!! I am so excited about that! [...]
So, the last week, Jenni and I have been to Medicine Lodge, Pittsburg, back to Garden for me to Preach, back to Medicine Lodge, to Wichita, Derby, back to Medicine Lodge and then back to Garden again. It has been a crazy “Vacation”, but good to see family and let my mind relax! With all [...]
Here’s a picture of Jenni & my baby! Jenni is going to make such a great mom! She does such a good job at being pregnant (whatever that means). I don’t think I could put up with all the things a lady has to go through. I am so glad that [...]
Here are some things you can be praying about this week for Jenni and I. I am interviewing with CEA of Kansas (a Church Planting organization) - please pray for wisdom for these men and for the opportunity to join together to plant Epic Church. The house Jenni and I currently live in has been sold and [...]
