I've owned the domain DailyBibleJourney.com for several years, always with the intention of developing it as a home for a daily devotional that would go out by email. Coinciding with the launch of Grace Hills this coming January, I'm also going to be launching this new website. I've seriously tried to cut back on the number of web … [Read more...]
We have a big, God-given vision for Grace Hills Church. It includes loving and reaching the least, the last, and the lost of northwest Arkansas with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In 20 days or so, we'll be pulling out of Laguna Hills, California in our Penske truck and heading to northwest Arkansas to start planting Grace Hills Church. I love road trips!! I especially love road trips when I meet interesting people along the way, and that's why I'd love to see you along the way. There are some amazing churches … [Read more...]
As a Pastor, I sometimes hear some rather strange questions, and one I've heard quite a few times pertains to paranormal activity. Are there such things as ghosts? Rather than answer directly, I thought I'd just share this video proof... You decide. … [Read more...]
Photos are fun. And they're even more fun when you're using the app for iphone. Here are a few recent snaps I've made and tweaked... … [Read more...]
Thirteen years ago, I read The Purpose-Driven Church: Growth Without Compromising Your Message & Mission for the first time. The first chapter contains the story of how Rick and Kay Warren packed up their belongings and headed to a community to which God had called them to plant Saddleback Church. They arrived in Orange County with a … [Read more...]
