Gary Lamb has a great post on ‘being secure in your calling‘….it is a must read for every church planter and for every pastor for that matter! Gary has grown so much since the days we ventured out to start [Ridge Stone Church] together and I can honestly say that guy has had more influence [...]

I had several emails last time I posted our website hits…I was told that I was confusing our daily hits with actual unique hits. I was told to look at visits instead of hits…well you can see that we more than tripled every category from last month to this month. So still not sure exactly [...]

Just got the door hangers in for our new teaching series, ‘All In’ beginning on Sept. 9th. We aren’t doing a ton of marketing for this series or our launch…in fact these 5,000 door hangers are really the only public marketing we are doing. We do have about 50 itiscoming.org signs going around town this [...]

I am walking out the door to head down to Chapel Hill for a bunch of reasons: I am interviewing a possible worship leader for Pine Ridge. I am stoked about this…all I can say right now is that we may have our own ‘Hootie’ on Sunday mornings….that is awesome! I am picking up my [...]

Just got done registering for the Catalyst Conference. Hard to believe it is just a little over a month away [Oct 3-5]. I am stoked about being there again this year…this will be my 5th year in a row down there and I have to say that hands-down it’s the best conference in the country. [...]

We are down to the countdown and I can’t believe we are less than 2 weeks from ‘go-time’. This week is rapidly spinning out of control and I can’t imagine for a moment that it’s going to slow-down for a long time! Last week was one of the most insane weeks in my ministry life. [...]

I thought it was pretty cool that Ed Young Jr. just sent me an invitation to be my friend on facebook. He currently only has like 4 friends…me, Terry Storch, David Anderson, and Scott Hodge make up that group. I really don’t know why I felt obligated to share that besides the fact that I [...]
