All I can say about this weekend is "OH MY GOD." This weekend we made history @ Mars Hill by offering a Saturday worship option and two Sunday options @ 8AM & 10AM. Seeing over 3,000 people at church this weekend pumped me up as...

Get 1% Better every day
If you're anything like me, then the chances are that you've had your fair share of struggles as a leader. These obstacles can be frustrating but in reality, aren't so much an issue to overcome rather than the everyday bumps in our careers and personal lives; this is what I write about on my blog.
Another Awesome Worship Experience
Yesterday I ended the series "Gametime" with the message, "Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire" (Nehemiah 6:1-5). I confess, this is now my favorite message so far. Personally, I believe this series was more than just a teaching series where I speak...

A "DEEP" Question regarding Heaven…
At Mars Hill, I often brag on our members because we have some of the most sincere people on this side of heaven. Additionally, they are some of the smartest people I've ever met. Often, I receive emails on various topics that get my attention. This...
2nd Dumbest Mistake…
2. PUTTING PROJECTS BEFORE PEOPLE. Ecclesiastes 7:18 says, "The man who fears God will avoid all extremes." This is one of those areas where we need to embrace the tension between relating with people and accomplishing the mission/getting the job done. ...
What an AWESOME Worship Experience Today!
I am almost positive that I do not have the words to describe what has taken place this year at Mars Hill. God has BLOWN ME AWAY…there is no way that any one person OR group of people can take credit for what we’ve seen…only Jesus could have done this. ...
