Story is what matters…not the numbers, not the facilities, not the crispness of a gathering, but the story. I am in no way insinuating that these other things have no value or no place in what we do as a part of this entity called the Church, but, at the end of the day what… [Read more…]

We had an incredibly intense gathering tonight. I love when we have moments of silent contemplation…I know that is hard for young adults, but I am so impressed with these guys…I love them so much. It is something incredible to have 70 or so 18-20 somethings standing in humiliated silence in awe of God. I… [Read more…]

That headline is a little sensational considering Guglielmucci did in fact lie to everyone in ear shot that he had cancer, and Hillsong produced the song that he wrote after his “weakest moment”. But, lets consider this, no, he is not sick with cancer. And yes, he has deceived millions of people, just as men… [Read more…]

Thursday night was incredible in the ZAO Community. We finished our series, “Things I Wish Jesus Never Said”, and it was so powerful. Thanks again to the Guys at Community Christian for the idea. This week we talked about selling everything, based on the story of the “Rich Young Ruler” from Mark 10:17-22 in the… [Read more…]

Ok, so almost breaking glass…a little while ago my wife and I were wrestling around in the living room one night, and she jumped on my back. I knew this was a bad idea because she has balance issues (she won’t mind me saying that). This started off playful, but it went down hill quickly.… [Read more…]

Introspection is the greatest ability we have in evaluating who we are, where we are, and by what measure we live our lives. I am convinced that this book is a tool and a gift that can be used to take a good look at the universe inside ourselves, and by what or rather who… [Read more…]

I wrote briefly about making disciples, and what the true cost of discipleship is. This was our conversation from last Thursday in the ZAO community. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing something that God has you speak finally hit home with the people you lead. One of my girls in the ZAO Community told… [Read more…]
