It’s Saturday. I’m gearing up for our first Easter service tonight and I’m feeling very contemplative. I’ve always celebrated Easter. And while bunnies, baskets, eggs, and fancy dresses were always a part of it, my family did communicate the significance of Christ’s death and resurrection. But for some reason Easter is affecting me differently this […]
Yesterday I was hanging out with a few of our staff for lunch and found myself marveling at the uniqueness of each of them. In our random chatter I observed: Matt – knows all things media and video. He really does. He was rattling off names of music video directors, which videos they have done, […]
“But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and scattered” Matthew 9:36 This verse really struck me today. How often am I in crowds of people and I just pass by without a care, without a concern, without seeing the needs, hurts, hopes, and fears of […]
We continued the series Back Seat Jesus today with Pete‘s message “Immersing Your Mind” Every week of this series has given me a good kick in the pants, especially this one! Pete really challenged us about the noise, the busyness and the junk that we fill our lives and minds with, and how choosing to […]

A close friend said two words to me today that I really needed to hear… S L O W D O W N That was all it took to get my attention and to force me to refocus. Every once in awhile you need someone to simply state the obvious. What two words do you […]
Sorry that I’ve been a bit quiet the last few days. On Friday I got some kind of warning from WordPress that there was “concern” about something I posted. I couldn’t post anything until I contacted WordPress. I’m still not exactly sure what the issue was but it had something to do with a picture […]
If I know anything about leadership, it’s that it doesn’t come easy. Yes, some people have a natural gift toward leadership, however growing and developing as a leader is hard work. It won’t just happen. A position of authority won’t miraculously make you a good leader. Being called a leader doesn’t make you a good […]
I’m not sure that I can do today’s message justice. It was extremely powerful, completely uncomfortable and yet very eye-opening. “Getting Out of the Driver Seat” Pete started the message talking about the gap we have in our lives. There is a gap between You and God which is designed to be filled by Christ. […]
