It’s rare to see so much amazing ability crammed into a church plant that’s only 13 weeks old. Makes me giddy with excitement and tremble in wonder about what God is up to in Indianapolis….
The Lone Ranger Wasn’t Was He?
I see a ton of businesses and church plants try to do the Lone Ranger thing and quite frankly, it often struggles to work. Â Did you know Tonto was originally written into the radio script just so the Lone Ranger would have somebody to talk to? Â I mean sure the Lone Ranger could kick butt [...]
Move
Sure there’s a lot of talk, but talking about doing something isn’t real useful to the something you’re talking about. You gotta move. Here’s a few resources that might get you outta the chair and into the adventure…
City Community Church Lab
The story drives the action. Help someone re-write their story or walk alongside as God renews their perspective and you can speak into the future of their actions with growing compassion.
Useless Worship
It’s so easy to get caught up in uselessness.
Recently my wife was listening to a sermon series out of Gateway Church in Dallas.  The series is a great reminder that the Holy Spirit isn’t weird; people are.  I highly recommend it to any kid who grew up scared to bring a friend to church because, well…you [...]
Stay the Course II
First part of this post lives here.
Simply put, I always need little reminders to stay the course and writing it down is one effective way to do it. Â City Community Church has the incredible potential, as we all do, to drift from it’s intended course. Â Especially in it’s infancy. Â Even worse we all have the [...]
Stay the Course
It’s so easy to get blown off course. Â
(Man the “s” key is really sticking on my laptop…probably the kids spilled something…you know they shouldn’t even be allowed to touch this precious Mac Air let alone…)Â SEE WHAT I MEAN?
One minute you’re headed straight for open water where/what you charted out, then you take your eyes [...]
Blank Canvas
A blank canvas elicits different emotions from different people.
One artist may move toward the opportunity, brush in hand, in passionate anticipation of what’s to come. Â The other may stare in visible horror at the lack of any safe direction or instructions given for the seemingly vast amount of white space they must fill.
No matter which [...]
City Community Church:Better Questions
While in the middle of speaking last week at City Com, I had a duh moment and was blown away once again at what an expansive story God has written throughout history.  From the Garden to Moses to Jesus to now…wow…all pointing to the characteristics of a God with a purpose.  (I love random thoughts in [...]
Iphone Opium or Self Addict
So I’m sitting there in a gorgeous home after a great meal with a close friend and family whom I haven’t seen in months, and all I can think about is my I-phone. Â It got so bad that while we’re discussing incredible things of the Kingdom I quietly, so no one would notice, pulled it [...]

Indianapolis
Know Your Niche
I just spent a few days around the area of southern Indiana where I grew up. Â My folks were so kind as to take our family to one of those Journey to Bethlehem type deals
