Just like when we rolled out a lot of the transition stuff at the Parent’s Meeting, the church leadership meetings were full of great questions and positivity. That doesn’t mean that the next steps aren’t going to be a bit bumpy, but it is very good to know that the majority of people in leadership…

I saw this last night on Pimp My Ride. This is absolutely incredible.  It’s a blow-up movie or TV screen that you can put in your front yard or anywhere. I haven’t decided if we need one for Light Force or if I just need on for myself yet. It’s like 10 feet across and…

Last Spring we decided that we were going to do something a little different over the summer. We wanted to see what would happen if we did something just for a group of people we felt like we often times overlooked. Our middle schoolers. (In the last year… most of our numeric growth has come…

This is my 3rd installment in a five part series on Mormonism that I am teaching at Light Force.

Over the course of a few months you would likely begin to recreate a new…

This morning we went over to the Fisher’s to play paintball. It had been a long time since I had done it… but it was the same thing. The best part of it was seeing a side of the other 14 people that I had never seen before. Despite being extremely tired and notably getting…

We take off very early for Cedar Point. We’ll leave the church at 6 am and likely be back around midnight. It’s a big, long, hot day. But if you are into adreneline rushes… this is the place to be. I’m looking forward to riding the big rides all day long. Put me on the…
