that about sums it up.
chase after GOD first.
love everyone along the way.
JESUS said do it.

the word of CHRIST.
My family and I recently moved to a farm to be closer to the community that we are in ministry with. One of the things I love about it is the stillness and quietness of living in the country. There is still traffic that drives down the road as well as other connections to civilization, but […]

I’ve had a lot on my mind over the past week. A few big projects kept me busy, but that didn’t stop my mind from racing.

#BeTheChurch Church is not a place you go on Sunday. It is not a building with a killer worship band and crazy fun kids rooms. Church is not pews or chairs aimed towards a stage where a preacher teaches from GOD’S Word. Church is the Body of Christ. Church is the nation of disciples called […]
