Settling In In West Palm Beach, Florida

// September 13th, 2007 // 2 Comments » // Career, Christianity, Family, Leadership, Learning, Personal, Relationships

West Palm Beach, Florida is a fantastic place to begin my next phase in ministry. Settling in at this church has been easy, and the staff has been more than welcoming. For me, as expected, it has been easy. Ashley on the other hand has had to deal with keeping the kids for long periods of time with little relief as I spend long hours meeting everyone, putting out some fires, and finishing up a 6 month launch of LifeFaithFusion.com For her so far, it has been what she feared. That will change.

Fallen But Not Forgotten

// July 31st, 2007 // No Comments » // Christianity, Community, Family, Leadership, Management, Ministry, Miscellaneous, Parenting, Personal, Prayer

In the decision to move to Florida to work for Christ Fellowship, I had to deal with some feelings of unworthiness that I had not faced in a long time.

One Bold Take on the Virginia Tech Shootings

// April 16th, 2007 // 5 Comments » // Community, Environment, Government, Health, Leadership, Miscellaneous, News, Personal, Theology

We don’t yet know the stories of heroism or bravery which happened today at Virginia Tech during the shootings. We may never know. In that classroom full of kids, there may not have been any brave souls who ventured to take on the lone shooter without a weapon of their own. There may *have* been. We simply don’t know.

Back from the NRB Conference – Initial Reflections

// February 20th, 2007 // 2 Comments » // Leadership, Ministry, Television, Web Ministry

Having returned late last night from the National Religious Broadcasters conference (NRB), I am still processing this quick trip to Orlando. I was there speaking on a panel in one of the REACH sessions about the use of internet content in ministries. Regarding the conference, I can’t say I learned a lot of unknown information, new technology, or that my attitudes about broadcast ministries changed, but here are some initial take-aways:
