America's Next Top Pastor

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZueN2iuRq0o] This video is hilarious.  Unfortunately this is how we often treat our pastors.  Like they have some sort of celebrity status.  It is also unfortunate how some pastors out there try to remain hip and unoffensive instead of staying true to God’s Word.  Still this video is great.

Why steal my iTunes library?

The multi-site thing has been talked about very briefly around here from time to time. More from a point of view of “it could work if done right”, “it seems kind of [...]

To Wyoming and Back

I went with my parents to Wyoming this week.  It so incredibly awesome.  Normally when I think of Wyoming I think of cowboys, dusty trails and dirt…lots and lots of it.  While it is true that these things are in Wyoming it is much more.  We drove up into the Snowy Pass and over to Casper and down to Independence [...]

Faith: Larry Osborne

Our staff and our board of elders have been reading Larry Osborne’s Contrarian’s Guide to Knowing God: Spirituality for the Rest of Us.   Larry is the pastor of North Coast Church.  I really like this book so far and what Larry has to say on knowing God better. It’s the theology and doctrine we often make so hard put into [...]
