This November, I will be speaking at the Worship Facilities Expo in Nashville. As part of the preparation for that event, I was asked to write a practical article for someone working in the church and decided to post it here as well. You can find out more about the conference here: http://wfxweb.com/2015/ Technology has […]

Rehearsing the Gospel Story
Well, I know it’s been a bit since where has been an update here, and a lot has happened since I last posted! So, here’s a quick refresher: 1. Worship is our love for something expressed. We worship a lot of things – family, money, possessions, jobs, status, sports, and of course, God. It’s how […]
Worship Formation
Well, seeing as I had to try 3 times to use the right password for my blog, it has been a while since I have posted last! Busy summer, broken computer, new baby, and life in general has slowed this train down a bit. However, here I am, ready to finally post defining “Worship Formation” as […]
The Year
Well, here we are, just past the anniversary of our senior pastor’s death. I don’t think that anyone could have even begun to predict what the past 18 months have been at Trinity, and there are some things I would certainly wish were different, but I also see what God has done in the midst […]
Next Generation Leader
I think what I appreciated most about this particular book is the fact that in many respects, Andy Stanley was speaking about me and my generation when he wrote it. Just a few simple points about what it means to be a leader, and how the culture of leaders is beginning to change. The challenges […]

The decisions of a president
So much of what we know about the workings of our country today is colored by the media. Really, from both sides, it seems we rarely know the truth, but only what a particular news source wants us to know. What I appreciated most about President Bush’s book is the candid way he approached each […]
Overwhelmed by Prayer
Have you ever been overwhelmed by prayer? I am today.There are just so many needs in the world. So many needs in my small corner of the world. So many friends and acquaintances who are hurting. I met a lady on Sunday who loves her husband, but is getting a divorce because all he cares […]
Time to Get Lucky!
Well, as you all know, I have a super popular blog.I think my random musings get about 10 hits a month. However, if you’re here reading this, you’re probably reading my most read post to date, and I write that without actually knowing what’s going to happen.If you’re here, you probably saw my post on […]
