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 And in a society that has become increasingly segmented and withdrawn we create ways to socially network with other people through the [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
Last night I lead a discussion with our ministry team leaders at BCC. We looked at what it means to have clarity in our process of making disciples. We talked about the need for people to know exactly what they are getting into and what we expect of them. It’s funny, none of us would [...]
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 [...]
