Road Trip.

I’m leaving in a few hours to go up north (Flagstaff/Payson) for a relaxing week away with Jess before Cruz is born. The only thing on the schedule for the next few days is 2 games of golf with my good friend Justin Dodson. Other than that, there’s no itinerary and that’s how we plan [...]

Peaches & Bulls.

Oh man.
This is my friend Luke Peach attempting his very best at riding a motorized bull. I cry from laughing every single time I watch this…

 
Don’t worry he’s not really handicapped…he just looks like he his.

Confession from Mike G…

Well, if you are at all immersed in the modern movement of music within the church then you may have stumbled upon/heard about the sad story of Mike Guglielmucci who wrote the prolific song “Healer”.

I’m writing this because [...]

Hide & Seek? I win….

Oh yes. My wildest boyhood dreams are coming closer to being true…
I can’t wait till those brainiacs figure this one out.

I love my small group…

The small group that Jess and I have the privilege of being in and help lead is amazing. It’s a little community of 6 young married couples that get to share together and support one another through life. We get to pray together and show love to one another and laugh with each other. And [...]

The Chapman’s on Larry Ling Live

If you haven’t seen it yet, I sincerely encourage you to watch the Larry King interview with Steven Curtis Chapman and his family which aired a couple of nights ago. The Chapman’s adopted daughter Maria Sue was accidentally struck and killed by one of the Chapman boys, 17 year old Will, as he drove into [...]

Full-Time Pastor vs. Part-Time Christian

I heard an interesting statement today at the Leadership Summit that we’re attending as a staff…
Craig Groeschel from LifeChurch.tv said that at a point in his life and his ministry he had become a “full-time pastor and a part-time Christian”. That really struck a chord in me to be honest. I feel like I may be in [...]
