I wanted to try something a little different. Since this is a tech site and a ministry site, I thought I’d delve into the tech side for a post. Now, I’ve established in earlier posts that I’m not your typical trendy youth pastor. As such, I do not own an […]
This school year, our students have decided to try something new. They are adopting a neighborhood to “Gospelize”. This is a “multiple-touch” evangelism project that is designed around building relationships in the community. We will be doing multiple service project days, where we serve the people of the neighborhood for […]
Every work day starts the same for me. I get into the office, shut my door, grab my Bible and read. I used to struggle with that. I thought Bible and prayer time should be spent at home and I should be “working” while I was in the office. I […]

This little Cutie Pie started Kindergarten with us this year and she is so excited to be doing “Big School!”. She absolutely loves to learn and cant wait to read “Junie B. Jones” to herself! The plan wasnt to start her this school year, but to use…
This week, I’m preparing to leave for kid’s camp. I’ve got drinks ready, bags to be packed and four days blocked out of my schedule. Why would I do a trip after already doing a week of youth camp and week-long mission trip? Honestly, kid’s camp is one of my favorite […]
The Husband and I were both only children (well he has older sisters but was raised mostly alone) and we had NO clue what it would take or what raising a large family would look like when we started this journey. We’ve learned lots a long the way and i…
