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 [...]

“They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings - and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.” -Revelation 17:14 I have been reading Revelation lately, I came across this verse last night and just kept getting sucked back to [...]
Tonight I challenged our youth group to read the book of Romans! I am going to read the first chapter or two tonight! I can’t wait. Romans tells the story of how we grow in a Relationship with God through Jesus. It doesn’t get better than that!
