Music has been a huge part of my life since I was 12 and I saw Motley Crue’s “Looks that Kill” video on this new station called MTV (Believe it or not, they played music videos back then). Well, after being in 2 successful bands and having been a musician for half of my life, songs continue to inspire and influence me greatly. With every series I teach, I feel that there are certain songs that either resonate with me or open a creative door for me in the preparation process. Our latest series through Colossians called “Spotlight” is no … Read More
Good Times
I had a great time in a meeting and at dinner with Bill LaMorey, who is not only planting a great church in Connecticut, but he’s also one of my best friends. As a Senior/ Lead Pastor, there are very few people you can really be yourself with. That doesn’t mean you’re fake with everyone else. It’s simply that you can’t confide in everyone. Bill has been one of those people in my life that I can talk to and be real with. I think that I’ve been able to be that for him as well (I think?). But as … Read More
John Mayer comes to Town
I just got home from the John Mayer/ Sheryl Crow concert. JM was out of control! Sheryl Crow was… actually, I have no idea. I left once John Mayer was done. The seats were amazing. We were about 20 rows back. One of the deacons in our church is in the JM fan club (This should tell you a bit about our church) and she hooked it up and was able to buy tickets a week before everyone else could. I saw John Mayer a couple of years ago and he was amazing, but this time he’s shown how much … Read More
For Those with too much time on their hands…
My buddy Chris linked to something amazing. You can get a call from the “Assistant to the Regional Manager” from Dunder-Mifflin in Scranton, PA! That’s right! Dwight Schrute, from The office will call your phone and harass you at random when you’ve got nothing better to do. I think I’m going to put my friends’ phone numbers in the box and have Dwight call them. Here’s the link. (By the way, if you aren’t watching “The Office”, you’re only living 1/2 a life. This is the greatest work of comedic genius since Seinfeld first came out.)
Swept?
The Twins got swept? Are you kidding me? What happened to the hottest team in baseball? Since when do the A’s score runs? I’m in total shock. Something isn’t right.
You’re Missing a Button…
If you’re planning on coming to our Momentum Conference (I hope many of you are), you are going to experience the best weather of your life as the rest America freezes their buns off. We’ll be hanging out in 75 degree weather and learning great insights into being a church with excellence no matter where we meet. I am so excited about this event, because I am expecting to learn a ton and hopefully have something to give as well. The other speakers are pumped about it. And registration is open. If you want to help get the word out … Read More
The MLB Postseason
Today the MLB post-season begins. I’m still getting over the absolute collapse that was the Red Sox second half this season. Anyway, here’s how it’s lining up for the divisional series: American League Tigers vs. Yankees A’s vs. Twins National League Padres vs. Cardinals Mets vs. Dodgers So what’s your prediction? Who’s going to the League Championship Series? Here’s my prediction: Twins vs. Yankees. Twins win in 6 games Padres vs. Dodgers. Dodgers win in 5 games.
It’s On!

The Momentum Blog is up!
Besides the conference we’re doing in March, we put up a blog that’s going to discuss how we do things in our portable settings. The link is here. We’re hoping this will be an added resource for church planters and Pastors that are trying to make lemons out of lemonade 🙂 Our whole staff will be contributing to this based on their areas of responsibility. Enjoy!
