Well…I don’t guess I need to tell you how long it’s been since I blogged! Welcome to the life of a tri-vocational church planter!
First, let me offer a word of explanation. I blog when I have things interesting and (hopefully) uplifting to write about. Lately, I have not felt the urge or ability to report what is going on in my spirit. Church planting is hard! It is without a doubt the most difficult thing I have ever attempted. It’s even harder than having a strong marriage. I covet your prayers and support as my family and I eagerly and joyfully embrace the path God has us on.
I do have something interesting to report…and also something that should keep me blogging a lot more regularly. I committed myself to something the other day in an effort to engage a particular family and get them plugged in at Revolution. I have agreed to compete in a sprint triathlon in August of this year! In case you missed that last part…yes. I am suspending the baseline response I give to everyone that, should they see me running, please stop because that means someone is undoubtedly chasing me with malevolent intentions.
If you see me over the next 7 months, I will no doubt be whipping this almost 37 year old body into the shape required to attempt this challenging feat! So, with that said, I will regularly be updating the blog with my status and thoughts on what will be the most difficult endurance exercise I have ever attempted.
Through this process, I will also be sharing some things that are going on at Revolution as well as insights gleaned from this physical challenge. Thanks for reading and for your patience during this new phase of my family’s life!

I have been blogging a lot less this summer. I looked at my post history and it’s about half of what what it has been historically. I am surprised at the number of you who read this blog regularly so I thought I would acknowledge this and give you a little explanation.
This has been one of the best summers I have ever had! There are a couple of things that were unique about it:
First, I was a “stay at home Dad” this summer! Our oldest daughter is old enough to watch her younger siblings for short time spans, but young enough that the daily responsibility of caring for them is unfair to her and steals her youth. So, we decided that I would become “Daddy Mama“! I am planning on saying a lot more about that in a subsequent post…probably forever risking my masculinity…but pretty dang funny nonetheless! Stay tuned for that!
Second, this will be a season of life I will remember forever. This will be eternally etched in my memory and the pages of eternity as the launch of Revolution Church! I have known for several years what my ultimate purpose and calling from the Lord was. I have prayed, hoped, planned, fretted, celebrated, and anticipated this day for a LONG time!!! Now that it is finally here, I am blessed to walk in the plan God has purposed for me. I hope over the next several months to share some of the pieces of that journey…and who knows…it may serve as an encouragement to some of you to take whatever step in obedience to Jesus you need to take.
My family and I have entered the most difficult phase of our schedule in our nearly 14 years together. I love this blog as an outlet to share my thoughts and encourage others. For this season though, I must intentionally keep my wife, my children, Revolution Church, and my job in their proper alignment. This means I will most likely continue on a reduced blogging schedule as long as I am bi-vocational.
When I do post something…it means I definitely have something to say.
Thanks for reading!

I’m so excited about the Preview Service for Revolution Church that I’m about to explode!!!
It is going to be pretty amazing and I hope you can come! I have been pretty overwhelmed at the number of people who are using their gifts and want to serve at this event. There’s a pretty good chance our volunteers could outnumber our attendees!
The space at The Hilton is awesome. I just have a strong sense that something unbelievable is going to take place.
If you find the time over the next 10 days, would you pray for our core team and the final preparations leading up to Sunday June 7th? Would you pray specifically for an anointing over the message God has given me? I appreciate it very much.
See you in 10 days.
