Last night, my beautiful wife Tricia came up the stairs from our office with a perplexed look and an even more vexing comment, “so, Facebook is nothing more than email that everyone can read … right?”
The next hour was me on my perennial soapbox of digital connectivity and all of the possibilities for faith communities, [...]

Last night I was reading in the book of Acts about the early church.
One night, the religious leaders of the day had them surrounded in a house owned by a guy named Jason. Their charge? “These men are turning the world upside down, and now they’re here to do the same.”
Turning the world upside down [...]

This is the guy I was most excited to hear. And he didn’t let us down … He’s the pastor at New Spring.

If you can lead a church you can lead any secular organization. In a secular organization you can lead with power … in a church you have to take the towel of [...]

Our motto was “if you can find us, you can come”
After a year of hearing nothing but silence from God I finally became silent.
The question that kept popping in my mind, “am I [God] enough?”
Teaching the 12 steps, I realized that I have [...]

I was settling down last night after a HUGE first birthday party for Jake last night. It seemed like the last week of my life has been a gigantic blur. I think I’d slept a total of 30 hours over the last 7 days. I was exhausted.
I grabbed my Bible, jumped in bed and just [...]

I don’t know about you, but I get distracted pretty easily. Sitting here digging out from under the rock of 153 emails, I realize my time of refreshment over the last two weeks has been non-existent.
I haven’t spent much non-work related time with God at all.
No matter how you meet with God, find some time [...]

One of my famous Richism’s was his comment about the Superbowl a few years back … “Is anyone else going to watch the Prince concert tonight?” Yes, [...]

Frontline (a ministry of McLean Bible Church near Washington, DC for twenty somethings) was absolutely insane last night. Those guys never cease to amaze me.
One of my weekly highlights is worshiping my Creator in the same room as Dan Cuomo. He’s just a drummer, but boy is he a pretty darn [...]

First it was coaching soccer with my nearly undefeated 5 and under soccer team in a league that didn’t keep score.
Now, it’s on to T-Ball dominance. I can’t wait. I’ve been asked to manage a slew of 6 year olds in their quest for little league dominance.
I asked Zach this week what team we should [...]
