Last night was Expression. Today, we are embarking on an impromptu outreach to over 10,000 people in downtown Silver Spring. We begin hosting our services at The Majestic Theater tomorrow. The amazing thing is there’s a major festival happening right in front of the theater today! Sounds like a great outreach opportunity to me. I [...]

If you are around my age, you probably remember the early days of Nickelodeon. Before there was Nick at Night and Sponge Bob, there was You Can’t Do That On Television. It originated in Canada and was pretty awesome for it’s time. It was one of my favorite TV shows for a few years (the [...]

1. Live what you teach. 2. Be flexible…even when others want you to be rigid. 3. Keep oiling your creative engine. It’s easy to get rusty. 4. Protect your personal time with God. 5. Don’t give in too soon. 6. When your vision is birthed, it’s not conceived as a grown adult. It comes out [...]

Here are some pictures from our gathering this morning at The Bridge. Today was Part 2 of our LifeSpa series. I’m starting to feel more comfortable speaking. It felt a little awkward at first: new audience, new church, movie theater setting, yada, yada, yada. The team was rolling today. When I got to the theater, [...]

I’m getting ready to head into our creative team meeting. We are trying to get a head start on our next series beginning in October. The working title for the series is “The Fear That Haunts Me.” I figured since October is Halloween, it would be a good idea to play on it. I came [...]

This Sunday is going to be our third and final day in The Regal Cinemas in Bethesda, MD. The team is pumped up about the new Silver Spring location. I can’t wait to see what God is going to do there. I also discovered that there will be a major arts and humanities festival right [...]

Don’t Tase Me

I found out this morning that this is the most popular video on the internet (or at least various versions of it). It has now experienced over 3,000,000 views! A University of Florida student was “tased” by campus cops after a disruption during a John Kerry speech and Q&A at the university. This instant has [...]
