It's been 2.5 years since I took my first steps on the Camino de Santiago. I was inspired, crushed and inspired again during my six plus weeks walking across northern Spain. 10 of the 80 men I invited came to walk with me for a season...from a couple days to a week....

Last summer, when we started the Music and Mission program, we had 7 musicians and $35,000 committed to the program. This summer, 2024, we had 6 musicians and $5000 on hand. I almost cancelled the program, but it was God's program from the very beginning and I figured...

Several years ago, longer than I care to admit, I was asked to invite you to a party. Not just any party, but a kegger of seemingly monumental proportions involving connection, commitment and conviction. However, I just wasn’t that brave …so I put the party on...

PARTNERING WITH KEVIN BRUSETT – FOUNDER OF INNER ANVIL MINISTRIES Kevin Brusett recently asked God for 20 years of significance. Part of God’s response back to Kevin was to ask him to be vulnerable and invite others to partner with him. In the video below Kevin does...

Hard to believe she was getting married…to a preacher. You never think the students you work with will age, cause you don’t age, right? And yet, years after leaving the youth group on the west coast, she had found her Prince Charming in the hills of Tennessee and it...

Jan. 2018   One Year To Go He was waiting and ready to get home…not in an unkind way, just had travelled 6 plus hours and was tired. He brought his small travel case to the trunk and tried to pick it up, but couldn’t muster the leverage. I grabbed it and got it taken...

3967.3 miles for this trip. I left on a Saturday, around 5:30 am, to make church in Post Falls, Idaho. I didn’t know what to expect from church, but I knew what to expect from my cousin, Gayle, and her husband, Paul…nothing but love. Come to find out, NorthWest Summit...

As 2016 comes to a close, I find myself reflective. My mind wanders back to meeting a 16 year old young man from Arizona, years ago. He was cautious, witty and a bit of a smart ass…and we became classmates, me, the teacher, and him, the student. But in reality, our...

This is an invitation to join me in creating a place…a place at the table. It’s six a.m. and you’re walking into your local coffee shop to meet a friend. You stand in line, waiting your turn, eyeing the available table space. A Jack Johnson tune plays in the...

I have a mentor that lives half the year near Phoenix, Arizona and half the year in Seaside, on the Oregon coast. He invited me to coffee 10 or 11 years ago and I went along, just to humor him ( and hear some cool biker stories cause he rides a Harley ). Kevin and Al...
