Blogosphere Break

You may have noticed that I'm taking a little break from the blogosphere. I'll be back in about another week.

Three Paradigms for Small Groups

So, what is a small group? Glad you asked. A smal group is a:

• Party when life is great. Your small group should be a place where you celebrate each other's victories.
• Shelter when life's not so great. Your small group should be a place where you can cry with each other over life's defeats.
• Guardrail when you're tempted. Your small group should be able to say, "Hey, you're about to go off that cliff! Stop."

Do small groups always live up to theri potential? No, but when they work--there's nothing like 'em!

Promise Keepers

What a great PK event in DSM this weekend. I had a great time with 20 of the best guys in the world. We're ready to unleash the raw power!

If you weren't able to make it to the PK event, you can still catch PK Remix this Wednesday night at 6:30 PM. It's going to be a tremendous Men of Steel meeting with great food, cool fun, hanging out, and being challenged by God's Word. I can't wait!

Weekend Update

What a great I Love America Celebration. I loved all of it. Thanks to Pastor TJ, Kimberly, and their great team for making it all come together and exceed my expectations. The music, the videos, the Marine Color Guard, the picnic. Wow. It was awesome.

And it was awesome to see Pastor Jonathan and Erica back with us for the weekend. They have three more weeks of School of Missions before they start raising the funds needed to head to India. I am so proud of them.

What a great team I get to be a part of!
