- Chirp!
Right now our house is a little annoying to be in. You need to know that we live in an old house, built in 1871. For those of you outside of Romeo I’ll explain our town to you like this. Have you ever driven through and old town, gone down Main Street and slowed down [...]
- Beware of Cabs
Some news stories need no explanation. This is one of them.
Rumors of penis theft began circulating last week in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo’s sprawling capital of some 8 million inhabitants. They quickly dominated radio call-in shows, with listeners advised to beware of fellow passengers in communal taxis wearing gold rings.
Purported victims, 14 [...]
- “My Dad is Pretty Beast-Like”
When Allen Kieta’s dog wouldn’t stop barking he knew something was wrong. So Allen, armed with a phone, went to check out his house he knew something was seriously wrong. This is scary for anyone. But put yourself in Allen’s shoes… he’s blind!
The intruder knew Allen was blind but the intruder didn’t know that he [...]
- MegaThoughts
The first part of my week I am spending at Harvest Bible Chapel. It’s a little odd every time I hang out with folks who work with big churches because their mindset is completely different from my mindset. In the end, we do very similar things. We both invest in, disciple, and dream about world [...]

- Harvest U - Session 1
The opening session at Harvest. Awesome worship to begin. There is something special about a room full of local church leaders singing praises to God. As a sidenote, fellow Moody grad Matt Stowell led worship. It’s been several years since I’ve seen Matt. Awesome to see him doing his thing.

- I got lost at the mall
Want to know something weird about me? I can remember phone numbers. I can remember the names of my 1st grade classmates and some of their phone numbers. I can remember 10,000 details about New Testament history so I can spew them off to an unsuspecting conversant. I can remember a few hundred YMX screen [...]
- Teaching Acts
Right now I am teaching the book of Acts for a class at Romeo Bible Institute. It is both fun and challenging. It’s fun because Acts is one of the most action packed, exciting narratives in the world as a band of eleven takes hold of a challenge from the Risen Jesus and (under the [...]
- Youth Ministry & Risk
I’ve been thinking about successful youth groups vs. unsuccessful youth groups. And truth be told the exact same thought holds true for churches.
Successful youth groups takes measured, bold risks.
Unsuccessful youth groups take few risks.
Successful youth groups generate excitement both internally and externally.
Unsuccessful youth groups are boring.
Successful youth groups have a two-fold reaching/teaching mode.
Unsuccessful youth groups [...]
