Stuff I've Learned, But Might Not Be All That...
For those that work in the church:
If you ever get to the point where you make ministry decisions in order to please your boss/pastor or keep your job, it’s time to move on.
You can’t move freely in the calling that God has given you and worry about making a boss happy.
You can’t make bold steps in creativity and ingenuity while working in a place that you fear for your...

Sunday Set List 2.27
‘Cause it’s always better to know what songs you’re gonna sing, versus which songs you already sang.
I’ll list each song and original author, and touch on history, music, and lyrics/reason for playing it.
This Sunday we are singing the following tunes:
Light Up The Darkness - Bridge Band We introduced this song last week at Gateway and I think it went really well. It’s easy to pick...

WatchAbout 2 weeks ago I came across a band, and I don’t even remember what internet rabbit-hole I fell into that led me to them. But it was something magical, because it was one of those few bands that after hearing about 45 seconds of one song I immediately purchased their entire album.

As most of you know, we are expecting. What most of you might not know, is that we’ve had a handful of complications. We’ve been surrounded with some amazing...
This is amazing, and I want one.
