“Hey dad? Are you done pooping yet?” This was Losiah’s question as I am in the last stall in the restroom and he apparently was all done in the stall next to mine. “Hey bro. Relax with the poop verbiage man. I’m almost done.” I responded. “OK Daddy.” Thank God we were the only people in the restroom. “Daddy? Are you almost done? Why is it taking so long?” This time his tiny little head pops in under Read more.

This question is for all you people who sit in the crowd on Sunday. Not all you stage prima donnas like me. Funny thing is that “church professionals” often think they know what songs connect best in the crowd. I have a better idea. Ask the crowd… What is the current song, that when the band begins to lead, accelerates you to a closer place with God? I’m fairly certain it is a different song than your worship leader thinks of.

Have you ever sat in a waiting room? It doesn’t matter what sort of waiting room it is. A waiting room for a doctors office. A waiting room for a principles office. A waiting room for a job interview. A waiting room for a lawyers office. All of these waiting rooms bring one thing. Anxiety. Anxiety as to what is on the other side of that waiting room door. Anytime we are forced to WAIT, we are forced to lose the facade we once had of control. The ball is Read more.

There is this church. It is a rapidly growing church in Los Angeles. It makes Nashville Eastside Hipsters beg for mercy it’s so hipster. Everything seems normal until the band starts playing. Then the huge screen behind the band lights up to project the lyrics and the band becomes silhouettes. Not for a moment…Not for a song…For the entire set. I never knew who the worship leader was. I never saw what the guitar player looked like. For me Read more.

Stay with me. I had a worship leader buddy of mine say he got offended when his pastor asked him to go on a “shopping trip” of sorts to update his wardrobe. I got miffed too. Basically challenging the style of my boy. Then that got my noodle spinning. Maybe it is important? Maybe style and wardrobe matters? Wait?!?!? No. All that matters is THE HEART Read more.

I could see him from the stage. He was standing, barely. His arms were bent in positions that they were not meant to bend…and staying there. He was making moaning noises. More groaning than anything. And from stage I could see saliva running from the bottom left part of his mouth. Lot’s of saliva. To where I could see a puddle forming at his feet. He was alone. Had a bag. And was moaning and clapping uncontrollably. I am keenly aware of my ignorance in the field of those with Read more.
