What we’re doing – Part 2

Our first phase of planting this new church involves something I’ve said that I have wanted to do for quite a while. As soon as our house sells we’re going to get a motor-home and take 3-4 months to travel the country and look at dynamic, life-giving church models. You read right, a motor-home. With [...]

Sidenote

By the way, I’ll be sharing a lot of information that may seem sudden to many of you. There’s a lot to absorb, even for us! If you have any questions or want to get together and talk about where God is taking us please get in touch with me.
God has given Lisa and I [...]

What we’re doing – Part 1

Going Fishing

I’m up in Manistee, Mighican today going salmon fishing with my brothers and Dad. We got up at 4:15 this morning to head out. Pretty impressive, huh?

I have not yet begun to fight

It seems that, once again, I’m wide-awake at 1:00 AM, unable to sleep because my mind won’t shut off. When God begins to stir your heart and awaken your passions it breathes new life into you. I really believe that there is nothing more powerful than a person who is completely abandoned to God’s will [...]

Innovation or Mediocrity

Man is this a challenging quote!! This is worthy of printing off and putting on my “quote board.”�
�Not innovating is more dangerous than innovating. The opposite of innovation is not death; it’s mediocrity. In fact, death–or a near-death experience–might be a better outcome than mediocrity because people are forced to rebuild or move on. By [...]

AIDS Experience

I’m going to be participating in the World Vision AIDS experience on Friday, September 10th at Fellowship Missionary Church. It looks to be an eye-opening way to learn more about this disease that is affecting millions around the world – including many innocent women and children.
If you are interested in learning more or reserving your [...]

Pursuit of Passion

This post may seem a little “pie in the sky” or impractical to some. It goes against the grain of how many in our culture live.
We’re told from a young age that we can be anything we want to be. As children we set our sights on being an astronaut, fireman or the President. We [...]

God is doing something

Did you ever get the feeling that God was about to do something…but you just didn’t know what it was? It’s that air of anticipation that lets you know that something is coming down the pike that may rock your world. Your emotions are a mix of excitement, fear, and uncertainty.
At times like this we [...]
