What does it take? We have been working toward launching a third site for about two years as a congregation. In the last number of months through prayer, articles, videos and conversations, we have been focussing our attention on this possibility in a more deliberate way. We have reminded ourselves of our multi-site strategy for […]
WHO AM I (Third Site Musings with the God Who Never Changes)
This is a difficult time. We need more leaders. We need more volunteers. We need more money. We need more heart. We are tired. We are burdened. We are hurting. This is the wrong time… In my opinion every one of these things is true. There is so much difficulty. We are in need of […]
Reflections on Revival #57
Revival. Revival. Dear child, why do you mistrust Me when you don’t understand what is happening in life? You withdraw and turn your back on Me. I love you more than you can ever know! I always have and I always will. I know what is happening and the timing is perfect. I hold you […]
Get Small to Grow Big
I love this church, and the fact that we are a multisite faith family. I cannot say that enough. However, I think we have some growing to do. I think we need to get small to grow big, just like pruned perennials. Confession time: the last few years of waiting and processing ideas for our […]
Reflections on Revival #56
Revival. Do you know that my heart breaks just like yours when your loved ones don’t follow Me? I died for them! How I long for them to turn to Me. Keep praying for them. I hear your tears and I am the great I AM! Keep putting them into my hands and trusting Me. […]

I have loved serving and leading with the Mission Heights manifestation of our church. It continues to be a […]

Reflections on Revival #53
Revival. Why do you look into the mirror and shudder at what you see? Do you not know that I created you just the way you are? You are beautiful! You are my delight! You are the apple of my eye! My love for you overwhelms my heart. You are MY CHILD! Accept my love. […]
Reflections on Revival #54
Revival. Do you KNOW that I know the way? At times you go directions that don’t bring life. I am the Life and the Way. Come to me and seek my advice. Follow Me. Follow Me into places that you don’t even know exist. I go before you. Set your eyes upon Me. Oh Lord. […]
Staff, Multi-site and Timing
Last week at our board meeting, valid questions were raised: “Do people know WHY they are being flooded with multi-site information these days? Do they realize we are headed for a time of decision this spring?” As you know, we have been working on preparing to launch a third site for over a year. We […]
