Wednesday, April 30th, 2008I am pretty certain that is the longest, most descriptive title I’ve ever had for a post. Hope you’re not expecting too much after reading it.
There seems to be a dichotomy in many people between several poles. And in my mind, right now at least, they seem to be quite interrelated at some [...]
Fresh Eyes
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008Last night I had dinner with Carson (check out his new blog) and Jordan (one of the dudes involved with LifeConnection). It was a lot of fun to hang out and hear what God is doing.
One of the cool stories from last night was Jordan and Carson sharing about a young guy who is spiritually [...]
Doubt Day @ Blue River
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008Carson has been killing it at Blue River Community College (though he probably doesn’t think so). He came in cold turkey, started a Community Group that has around 15 who are in and out, has met a ton of students, started a student organization called LifeConnection on Campus, and today was Doubt Day.
The basic [...]

4. How Should We Evangelize?
5. What Isn’t Evangelism?
6. What Should We Do After We [...]
Baptism Party @ LifeConnection
Friday, April 11th, 2008This Sunday we celebrate our first ever Baptism Party as a church. And this is exactly what it will be, a party. We will celebrate the God who changes lives from the inside-out. It’s going to be a lot of fun and we have some surprises in store. Nothing huge but it will definitely feel [...]
Baptism @ LifeConnection
Friday, April 11th, 2008This weekend we host our first baptism service. I’m so excited about this. Baptism is such a phenomenal event where people go public with their faith, demonstrating their allegiance to Jesus.
As of right now we have 3 people set to take that plunge this weekend. And there are already several who will [...]
Global Impact Celebration Update
Thursday, April 10th, 2008I was able to hang out with the senior adults today for lunch and share for a few moments about LifeConnection. Here are some observations:
It was cool to see over 100 senior adults excited about praying and giving to missions. But even beyond that many are going on short term projects!
We had some [...]
Long, Good Day
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008It has been a long day for me (Thursday). It began at 5:45am heading to Raytown, MO and ended at 10pm in Ozark, MO (that’s about a 200 mile difference for those unfamiliar with MO).
I have the opportunity to spend a few days in the Springfield area at a church’s Global Impact Celebration. South Gate [...]
What we want to see happen
Saturday, April 5th, 2008This week someone was sharing how they got involved with LifeConnection.
I thought maybe this church needs us. And then I realized we needed this church.
That’s what we want to see happen.
