Last night I had that privilege to feel all those little movements of our son Cash (that’s his name) as he is growing and stretching as God continues to “knit him together inside his mother’s womb.” We believe that passage and we pray for him as God does what only he can do in bringing [...]
This morning, I had one of those, “How about that, I don’t know how I’ve missed that” moments. Over the past couple of months I’ve been studying Ephesians and really trying to immerse myself in the book. In the past, I’ve always been in a race with myself to read as much as possible in [...]
The travel part of this trip is finally over. That may have been one of the longest trips I can remember taking. But there is something about traveling together as a team that seems to bond everyone together…though that may have more to do with not taking a bath in many hours and the ensuing [...]
Last week offered the privilege of sitting under some great teaching of many leaders in the church planting/multi-site/missional/discipleship movements at the Exponential conference in Orlando.

Hugh Halter and Matt Smay have quickly become some highly influential people in my life. It is not because we’ve met (because they know not of my existence), but because of a few books they’ve written that have crossed my path over the last six months. The “Tangible Kingdom” and “And” have both had a [...]
This is that post that I said wouldn’t do. Then I said I would do. Then I said I wouldn’t do. Then I said I would do. It went back and forth for quite some time because everyone has an opinion on Rob Bell’s new book ‘Love Wins,’ and I wasn’t sure I wanted to [...]
