A LIFE-CHANGING week for Men in Ministry.
As mentioned in the video for the First Things First Kidology online training session, my pastor challenged us to consider what “re-creates” us, and to intentionally PLAN it into our lives. Up until that time I wrongly considered recreation to be equal to play and often said my recreation and my occupation were the same: children’s ministry. How wrong I […]
Roped my last guy to come to Yosemite Summit! Praise the Lord! Yosemite Summit is now FULL! That’s right. Josh, Tom, Dave, Chip, John, Peter and now Kurt and headin’ with Karl to the greatest place on earth to worship where God’s majesty is on display like no where else! There will be a waiting list just in case something […]
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.

I saw an awesome poster today that showed a guy climbing a mountain and above it was just the word “GOAL.” Below the picture is defined the word as “decide what you want to do, and then do it.” My first reaction was that this was over simplifying the concept of goals, but the more I think about it – […]
(Click image for larger viewing) Here is an overview of the guys God has brought together for this once-in-a-lifetime event. If you know any of us personally, we would appreciate your prayers for this event: That God would foster quick and deep fellowships That we would discover unity despite different backgrounds That we would be safe on this event (that […]
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, […]
