“There is no way we could ever pull that off.”
That’s a direct quote from a pastor friend of mine when he heard about our current series Sacred Rituals. He saw our trailer for the series and when he heard that we played that music while we shared communion as a church two [...]

Some Random Thoughts Looking Ahead
February 16th, 2010 · 1 Comment
We start our new series Sacred Rituals on Sunday. (Trailer here and we didn’t get 20 comments, so Rick is off the hook.)

This has been undeniably my favorite series I have ever been a part of. The partnership with Circle of Friends, the Friday Night Artwalk, the art, the content, the stories, the worship….just the whole experience has been phenomenal.

I had this crazy idea one day last November while visiting Washburn Rural High School. The backstory: I’m a bit of an art geek. Yes, it’s true. The Denver Art Museum was a haven for me. In fact, last month I took the kids to the Kemper Contemporary in Kansas [...]

I have a love-hate relationship about my time in the Army. Hated the 18-20 hour days. Hated being in the woods 20 to 30 days at a time. Hated the cold, wet marches with 45lbs of gear on my back. Hated the food for the most part. We had a [...]
