Being in ministry can be pretty lonely. Lori and I have definitely felt the weight of that over the years. We’ve been very intentional about trying to build relationships with other pastors. We’ve made it a point to build friendships with church planters, and to seek to encourage them.
Without a doubt, one of my best […]
After hanging with Gary & Deanna, we went and had dinner with some new friends, Tony & Amy McCollum. Tony started Mill Creek Community Church in Buford, Ga about 3 1/2 years ago. I’ve known Tony through pastor’s forums for about 6 years, but this was the first real chance to hang out togehter.

I love what I do. I love leading Palm Valley Church! When Lori and I started PVC in […]
What a game last night! The Suns are finding ways to win the close games, something they couldn’t do all year. Up 1-0, great start to this series!
This weekend we celebrate Memorial Day in our country. For many it’s simply another vacation day, and a reason to have a barbeque.
I’m so thankful for the freedom we have as a country. I believe we live in the greatest country on the face of the planet. I’m grateful for the men and women who […]
This weekend is going to be incredible at Palm Valley. Ryan and Karina are teaching together on the topic, “Who Is Jesus”. They’ll be answering some of the questions raised in the DaVinci Code, like “was Jesus Married?”, “Did He believe He was God?”, “Did others believe He was God?”, “Did Constantine and the council […]
There’s a ton of discussion going on in our culture about the DaVinci Code movie. Here’s some resources I found helpful in my study of the subject…
Josh McDowell has done a ton of research, and relays his findings in a very simple formate. He did kind of a talking points paper you can download here. He’s […]
