We had an awesome Fathers Day weekend this weekend! Here is a video made a couple of years ago: There are a few things I’m learning as a young father. The biggest is that my mission field is first and foremost at home. There is a huge responsibility for me as a daddy to continue [...]

Devotion
March 15, 2010
Our church community has a blog that we use for message notes, articles, updates and encouragement. We posted something this morning to help our community with daily devotion. ——————————————————————— I’ve recently engaged in some books that have highlighted some practical help in the area of spiritual devotion. In his book The Divine Mentor, Wayne [...]
The Big Red Tractor

We showed this video last weekend as we’ve been talking about mission and missional living. Definitely a great analogy. Maybe the church is more simple than what we’ve made it.
What I learned from fasting
February 2, 2010
Our church just finished a 21-day fast to kick off the year. We partnered with Awake 21 and hundreds of churches from around the world. It’s a great idea to get people fasting and praying but the partnership with other churches was a unique experience as we linked arms together. I am a little hesitant [...]
A Good Story – Overcoming
October 29, 2009

Checking Our Motives
August 15, 2009

In the book Gibbons shares a story of how a man befriended him one day. The man inquired if Gibbons would come to a seminar he was sharing at. [...]
Thoughts On Generosity
August 10, 2009
I’m back in the office. It feels good. The last 3 and a half weeks have been fantastic but it is good to be home and have some consistency! Tonight I’m sharing at a church in the Toronto area and they’ve asked me to talk about generosity. I thought this story from the weekend seems [...]
Camp, sports, Jesus, airplanes, deer, more camp, 1st birthday, more Jesus

It has been a while. Actually, this is the longest I haven’t posted this year. The last two weeks have truly been some unbelievable days in my life. Last week I had the opportunity to spend a week at Nanoose Bay Camp on Vancouver Island in BC. Nanoose Bay runs a teen sports camp every [...]
