Tomorrow the communication experiment continues! I am going to be without notes, other than a tiny scrap of paper with major bullet points. Not that huge of a deal really since I’m only speaking about 15 minutes.
I went this route on Thursday as well. But Thursday I experiment with not writing out a manuscript, just […]
Tomorrow in our Legitimate Questions series we’re addressing the question, “What about Heaven?” What about it, really.
Well, we’re sort of telling the story in two chapters with myself leading in and then our Pastor finishing up. I have the unenviable task of talking about Hell and my pastor will speak to the issue […]
The other day at one of my meetings with a church I was asked this great question:
“In your mind what will it look like for you to be a pastor on a day to day basis.”
Basically, what sorts of things/activities will you do? How will you fill up the time in a day?
How would […]

Does anyone know if this prank from Yale on Harvard is true? If so it’s absolutely brilliant. It takes true genius to pull something like this off. Check it.
John Frame has a review of NT Wright’s book The Last Word. While he doesn’t pose much by way of evaluation, he agrees too much with Wright, […]
I’m definitely not going to complain b/c I love what I do. But yesterday was a whirlwind of business that began around 6am and ended at 8pm when I got home.
Working on prep for teaching, meeting one in KC, discovery of City Church in Blue Springs (You still gotta be kidding me), meeting two […]
So I have really liked the updates to Vox that took place over the weekend. Very cool stuff. I’m having trouble figuring out how to use the quicktime video tool but other than that it’s very cool.
I like the customizable template. Very clean. Very simple. Those are all things I […]
So from my last post if you know anything about KC geography you could very well be wondering why it would matter that a church in Blue Springs has a similar name and logo. I mean if we’re launching in the Northland, some 30 minutes away, why would it even matter?
Well, God has been doing […]
**Rant On**
The worst bit of news I have received to this point in the church launching venture occurred today.
Some things you just have to learn the hard way I guess. Please don’t comment back to me and ask how I missed this because I haven’t a clue how I missed it. I spent […]
I’ve had some people asking in the last several months about both my process for communicating and what it will look like for us at CityLife.
6 Months - 1 Year Out
This is going to sound trite and all too obvious, but for me it all begins with my time in the scriptures each day. […]
