Halloween was always a landmark growing up. First of all, it was the day after my sister’s birthday. I always remembered that her birthday was right before Halloween. Like many kids in St. Thomas, I had several Halloween goals: 1) Get as much candy as possible via trick-or-treating (Up until age 8). 2) Not to [...]

Finishing Well

Throughout 1 Kings, the Bible keeps mentioning that David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord and did not turn away from His commandments. As I read this, one thing kept popping up in my mind. “What about Bethsheba?” My question was answered as I got to chapter 15. God continued to [...]

I’m preparing to speak at a youth lock-in on Friday. I’ve spoken at youth events before, but I think this is my first lock-in. Sounds like a great place to be on Halloween!

The Bridge was mentioned in a Washington Post article. A reporter interviewed Dafnette during the Theater Church conference. It’s always exciting to see God open up doors!

We had a great time at The Bridge today. Throughout this election, I’ve vowed not to bring up politics from the platform. I was doing good until today. As I was speaking, I began one of my sentences by saying, “My friends…” It was so funny, I had to pause and giggle for a moment. [...]
Risky Business

I had an opportunity to listen in on a teleseminar earlier today featuring Eric Bryant and Erwin McManus. Great stuff. During the conference call, one person asked a good question. He asked, “Can you ever risk too much?” I knew exactly what he meant. Can one push risk taking too far? How do you know [...]
Day Off

Today, I’m taking a real day off. A real day off is when you actually take off on your day off. I’ll be hanging out with the wife today. I had a great time with her at Catalyst. I always enjoy spending time with her. I not only love her, but she’s fun to be [...]
Catalyst Return

We had a ball at Catalyst. I wanted to blog while I was there, but things didn’t quite work out that way. God spoke to me in some profound ways. I’ll share in the days to come. Until then, it’s back to the reality of the church planting world. Gotta wrap things up for the [...]
Back in ATL

It’s on! Starting tomorrow, the Catalyst conference will be in full gear. We landed in Atlanta a few hours ago. We had to press through some traffic on the way to the airport this morning. Dulles Airport in Northern Virginia had the cheapest tickets. What can I say. I would rather be stuck in traffic [...]
