This weekend we’ll be wrapping up the “Don’t Fight Naked” series, and I’m pumped. We’re going to be looking at Ephesians 6:18, and specifically the power of prayer. I’m excited to share with you what God has been teaching me in this area over the past few months.
I have a real burning passion to help […]
Took a few days for a staff “off-site” meeting, and man was it good. It was really powerful to be away from the phones, emails, web sites, etc… as we concentrated on praying together and dreaming of what God might do this year at Palm Valley Church.
We have such an awesome team! It was good to laugh […]
One of the cool parts about our staff retreat was hearing how God is growing different ministries. I was really taken by the growth of our Fresh Start ministry this year.
Fresh Start is our ministry that supports people who make decisions to follow Christ, or to re-commit their lives to Him. This ministry has evolved […]
Friday’s my day off. It’s been a weird work week: in Monday, Tuesday off for the 4th, working Wednesday and Thursday.
Had a great date night with Lori last night. Went to dinner at Abuelo’s, one of our favorite places! Then we went shopping for a high-chair for our daughter. It’s crazy that she’s old enough […]

This weekend we’ll be looking at the last 3 pieces of armor that God has given us for the battle. We’ll be talking about what it means to take up the shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God.
I’ll be introducing some pretty awesome next steps stuff […]
This Sunday (audio/video here) we were looking at Ephesians 6:13…
“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
I unpacked it by talking about the plans the evil one has, and how he tries to lead Christ follower’s astray. As promised, here’s […]
It’s Monday, and here’s my thoughts from the weekend…
The worship team continues to blow me away. The worship this weekend was intentionally very upbeat, and it rocked the house. I love hearing God’s people shout out with passion “I AM FREE”!
I’m enjoying the “Don’t Fight Naked” series. I’m really seeing & hearing people respond to […]
I love the 4th of July weekend…hanging out with friends, bbq’ing, swimming, fireworks, I love it all. Mostly though, I love that we live in the most incredible country on earth. Our freedom is a blessing, let’s not forget that this 4th!
Speaking of…BE THERE EARLY THIS WEEKEND. We’ve got some really cool elements to the […]
