Thoughts on Ministry, Leadership, and Creativity
Such a great day at Access yesterday! Here are a few highlights! We kicked off a new series in Lakeland called Honor. We’re starting this series in Brandon this Sunday!

Today was a weird day. A great day, but a weird one. We called it the Perfect Storm at Access. We’ve got Spring Breaks for the local colleges and all public and private schools this week, plus the time change. It was a triple whammy! We kicked off a new series today, “Bet the Farm” […]

Here are a few thoughts from an AMAZING day! Saw over 10 people make a decision to serve Christ today. WOW. LOVE IT. Had our largest first service ever today. Had our largest non-holiday and non-special guest Sunday (meaning we’ve had huge Sundays when we’ve had guest music artists or speakers). God is up to […]
What a day! I am trashed. I’ll give you a few quick hits from a beautiful day! I’m LOVING this marriage series, “Love, Marriage, Baby Carriage.” Our church is ripe for this series.
