Hello friends in the blogosphere!<\/p>\n

For the past six months or so, I have taken the blogging a bit slower. I have moved to a new city, started a new ministry position (which keeps increasing in responsibility as God leads), and have become a full time student. Being full time in seminary and full time in ministry is truly a blessing, but also one that demands most of my time for the moment. I miss the daily interaction in the blogging world, but my spare time belongs to my wife! So, for the next several months I will be taking a break (with occasional interactions here and there) and will hopefully become re-engaged with blogging when time once again permits. For now, I am going to be developing a core team for a multisite campus I am launching out of our church, reading books for school, and hanging out with my gorgeous wife and silly puppies! Blessings to you who have truly become friends through this\u2026 and remember, I am a simple email away!<\/div>\n
Future plans include possibly developing the Groans from Within podcast and possibly making this a collaborative blog with several voices that are adding value to the missional conversation.<\/div>\n
Grace and Peace,<\/div>\n
