A LIFE-CHANGING week for Men in Ministry.
There is just something powerful about hiking. about exploring. about going where few have gone before. And while Yosemite may be a place visited by many, many more never bother to take the time to plan to get away, and even fewer leave the valley to hike to more remote trails that offer the most spectacular views of God’s creation, […]
This week I was speaking at a children's revival week at a friend's church in Waterford, Michigan. The theme was a hiking / climbing theme on “Climbing Spiritually” so I had all my climbing and hiking and camping gear as part of the stage set up and as object lessons.

It’s hard to believe, but two months from today I’ll be waking up in Yosemite with eight other guys who are seeking a refreshing time with the Lord. Our last “Summiteer” to join us is Lenny Corliss, a veteran children’s pastor from Scottsdale Worship Center in Phoenix, Arizonia. I met Lenny at iFest last summer when Yosemite Summit was still […]
Time and nature, as experienced alone in the wilderness, are like huge hands massaging the soul and the mind, altering perception like a good massage therepist alters the condition of muscles.” – Burke Miller The father of a friend of mine in my men’s group at church had a book published in 2005 titled, “Exploring the Power of Solo, Silence, […]
Amazing What Google Images Can Dig Up!* “Voila! I’m in.” So said Peter when he became the 7th guy to join Yosemite Summit. And what better place for a guy to go whose name means “Rock!” And that means there is ONLY ONE MORE SPOT available for this unique Unconference retreat for children’s pastors! Peter is leaving the flat lands […]
