I never knew being a pastor was a full contact sport before Sunday.
Baptizing over 200 people left my lower back and right bicep way more sore than any wrestling match or weightlifting program I’ve ever been a part of.
I’m still feeling it.
I love it.
A couple of times a year I do a devotion for 300 [...]
This morning at our Central campus we spontaneously baptized 209 adults in our 3 worship experiences.
It was amazing, and I am exhausted.

Go to the [...]

Under the radar
Insignificant
Underappreciated
Unlikely
Awkward
and Uncertain…
God has not forgotten you, and what you’re doing matters. A lot.
There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t converse with someone who feels their [...]
One of the greatest lessons I ever learned about casting vision goes all the way back to 17 years ago, when I used to dub tapes.
