NWLC Day 3
This conference continues to amaze me. It continues to stretch us and challenge us in so many areas. I can also tell you that it is so hot in Austin in July. Wow…. Today, we heard some amazing worship bands. All of these happen to be some of my favorites: Lincoln Brewster (Majestic, Love The … Continue reading

Today I am writing from Austin, TX where Kim and I are attending the National Worship Leader Conference. This is the 2nd year for this conference and I am honored to be here for the 2nd time.

Beach Sunsets Rock
One of my favorite things in the whole world is sitting on the beach. For me this is the ultimate form of relaxation. There is something about the sound of the ocean crashing against the sand and the warmth of the sun that I absolutely love. Even thinking about it as I write this, takes … Continue reading
Food & Fun – 7.16.08
You can spend less than 5 minutes reading my blog and understand that Kim and I love to eat. We really enjoy trying new places and making sure that all our friends know about the good ones we’ve found. There are lots of places out there and some of them are not that enjoyable. So, … Continue reading
Worship Matters – 7.13.08
This past Sunday we used a song that has quickly become one of my favorites. “Alive Forever Amen” is an awesome anthem of worship. It took a few times for our congregation to catch it….especially the bridge section, which has a lot of words. But I will say that at this point this song has … Continue reading

Something To Shoot For
I really value our team. We have come so far together over these last couple of years. I am grateful that they have embraced this new vision for worship at FCN. It has required some different things of them and they have jumped in with both feet. I am seeing them grow as artists and … Continue reading
On The Third Day
As a worship leader many songs come across my desk. Most fall into that bottomless category of “Man, I just don’t get that!” Occasionally I listen to a song that absolutely captures my heart and that happened about a year ago with the song, “On The Third Day” by Matt Maher. This song takes an … Continue reading
Worship Matters – 7.6.08
I took a couple of days off last week as Kim and I made a trip to St. Louis to watch the Cardinals play. I was saddened that they lost 11-1 to the Mets but being at the ballpark was a great and relaxing time for us. Yesterday was another great day in worship at … Continue reading
