Rantings of a Jesus-loving, raving lunatic
I was pretty tired yesterday. It was my dog’s fault. You see the night before I got up several times in the middle of the night to let him outside. His incessant whining was driving me crazy. “Patches”, as he is affectionately known because of his dapple spots, was supposed to be sleeping in his […]
I took my family to Cirque du Soleil for the first time a few weeks ago. It was breathtaking and awesome. The acrobats were amazing, the sets were spectacular and the actors-clowns-dramatists were hilarious. All I know is that it kept my entire family fully engaged for two straight hours and that’s a lot to […]
Today, tomorrow and Saturday I’m in Nashville for Youth Specialities. YS is a youth leaders’ event that combines worship, drama, training, teaching, etc for youth leaders from the vast array of youth ministry specialists out there. I’ve been going to YS for years and it is a whole lot of fun. I love youth leaders […]
“Deep and wide. Deep and wide. There’s a fountain flowing deep and wide.”
OK this ancient Sunday school song is kind of corny but it is definitely “sticky.” I guarantee it will stick in your brain the rest of the day, reverberating from your cerebral cortex into your frontal lobe relentlessly. Just when you think it’s […]
8,000 teenagers mobilized to relationally and relentlessly reach their generation for Jesus (aka “shreddin’ the gnar”), 15 tons of canned food collected for The Denver Rescue Mission, 90% of the audience committed to “shred the gnar” with 5 of their friends right away and hundreds put their faith in Christ. It was awesome!
Were you there? […]
Home sweet home.
This weekend is the Denver D2S “Invincible” Conference in my own hometown Denver, Colorado. I love doing the conference here in my own backyard. Friends, family, prayer warriors, donors, the church communities of Grace Church (the church I used to pastor and still love) and Northern Hills Christian Church (the church I never […]
People are freaking out over the economy and, if they don’t know Jesus, rightfully so. When the only thing you trust in is shriveling up into worthless pieces of electronic paper then you have earned the right to get your “freak out” on. But if you are a Christian you are living in a “no […]
Thanks for all of your prayers for the Washington DC “Invincible” Conference. God rocked. Tons of people trusted Christ, 7 tons of canned food were collected for the Salvation Army by almost 4,000 teenagers and about 80% of those teens made the commitment to “Shred the Gnar” with five friends right away. Were you one […]
How appropriate, the weekend after what may amount to one of the most significant elections in American history we are kicking off the Dare 2 Share Invincible tour this weekend at The Patriot Center in/by/close to our nation’s capitol. It should be a flag waving, American style party.
How did Obama win the election? He […]
This following is a short article I wrote last year on my blog. I thought that maybe it had some implications the morning after the election. Hopefully, it has some good reminders for us as believers as we revel or reel (depending on our feelings over Obama as President) from last nights election festivities.
I am […]
