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 [...]
Hebrews 10:24 Just like you need other people in your life to help you grow and connect with God, other people need you. You have a wealth of wisdom and life experience that is the key to unlocking an issue or problem in another person’s life. You have a distinct gift that God has given you in [...]
Ecclesiastes 4:12 If Humans are anything, we are social. We are in desperate need of other people. We long to know and be known, we long to normalize our experience in the experiences of others. And in a society that has become increasingly segmented and withdrawn we create ways to socially network with other people through the [...]
Today I have officially traveled around the sun 30 times! It is… My Birfday! Yesterday Jenni threw a birthday party for me and her entire family (pictured below) came to visit! It was a blast, we had a bunch of friends there as well. We started at a park but soon decided to [...]
I’m sure most of you didn’t know this, but I am quite the tetherball champ. I am passing this talent on to my dog Hoove the Yorkie. We just got done playing a pretty mean game on the ol’ tether - she may be small, but she’s pretty fiesty. Here is a clip of her [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
1. She laughs at my jokes (these are in no particular order) 2. She cares about others needs and wants over her own at a level that I envy! 3. She has the sweetest voice. 4. She puts up with my craziness. 5. She loves Jesus more than she loves me!
Today we gave Lyssie away… We do not know what the future holds for us as far as living situations and did not want her to have to be cramped up in a small apartment. The family we gave her to is gonna be great for her, but we will miss her. [...]
