I don’t want to give people an option for a place to worship. I don’t want to give them just one more “brand” of Christianity to choose. If I am going to start a ministry, a local congregation, or plant a church, then I want to start a movement. No members, but partners, no wall… [Read more…]

What exactly does the perfect life look like? How can it be described in tangible words? Does it tickle the senses? Is there taste…smell…touch to it? Or is it simply a whisper on the wind?

I had an incredible encounter yesterday, with a lady that I see often because she works at a place of business that I frequent.
