I have just a few minutes in between picking up my children from school, and I wanted to share a quick story with you. The story is nothing earth shattering, but it has meaning to me, and I think we can all learn something from it.
Many of you know my son Sam? He’s a typical [...]
Attitudes & Rewards
Vision 2009 #3
You’ve arrived at the 3rd vision we believe God is calling “Epic Church – Las Vegas” to in 2009. We believe the prior 2 visions of prayer & mentoring will give birth to the 3rd, but never the final vision of God.
A local church of Christ Followers, truly seeking God, will supernaturally metamorphosis into something [...]

Mentoring
Sitting and drinking a gallon of coffee, mind reeling through vision and direction for mentoring in 2009. It’s one of Epic Church’s 3 key vision launches. It was birthed years ago in my soul, but was officially launched through vision night last Sunday evening on the Epic Campus. If you missed it – your out! [...]
Inaugural Speech Overview & A Challenge
I like what what writer Aaron Zalinsky said about the inaugural address:
“President Barack Obama’s inaugural address was good, but not truly canonical. At 2,396 words, Obama’s full speech was too cumbersome for the front row of history (for reference, Lincoln’s Second Inaugural was 698 words; the Gettysburg Address was 278). Nevertheless, the inaugural address contained [...]
History Makers
Spent the day prepping for Sunday’s services. I’m very excited about where God is taking me, as well as a group of Christ followers that live throughout the valley, but gather at 8755 W. Warm Springs Rd. – Ste 105, Las Vegas, on Sunday mornings. We call ourselves the the church! I love the church [...]
Courage
A friend sent this to me.
Safe Church!?
Sat with a friend this week and talked ministry (you know, coaching people towards loving God, others, and serving the world.) I think I’ve heard that before! We mused for a little bit about how church’s have their people, and other church’s have their people, but when in reality, their God’s people, and [...]
A Parenting Tip
I heard this today, and thought I would share it with you!
It’s easy to focus on how far children need to go instead of how far they’ve come. One way to keep a positive focus in your discipline is to look for approximately right behavior and affirm it. Don’t wait until things are absolutely right.
