A LIFE-CHANGING week for Men in Ministry.
Hard to believe, but Yosemite Summit has finally arrived! I am currently sitting on the floor at O’Hare International Airport awaiting to board my flight to Sacramento, California! I’m heading out a day early to shop for all the food, my wife was nice enough to plan the extensive shopping list and meal plans… Wow! That’s a lot of food! […]
For all the wives out there who are hesitant to send their husbands to Yosemite Summit because you fear for the safety of your husband if he is alone with a bunch of other guys in the wilderness – I have some good news for you! I just picked up the following book: Granted, I haven’t read it, and probably […]
It’s hard to believe, but I am packin’ by bags for Yosemite Summit! It’s quite a puzzle, trying to balance “trim down and take the minimum” with “be sure you don’t forget!” The front room looks like Base Camp for a trek up Mt. Everest! (I’m sad to leave so much climbing equipment behind, but we really won’t need it […]

Our newest hiker, John, has only been a children’s pastor for two years. So, in his words, “renewal is not high on the list” but after experiencing a major children’s ministry conference and being overwhelmed by all the pressure to “do this” and “do that” and copy other ministries, John decided he first wanted to learn how to better breakthrough […]
Don’t miss the video at the end, and click any picture for a larger view. It’s hard to believe the Yosemite Summit 2008 is over. It’s been several weeks, but it still feels like a part of me is still there in the Sierra Nevada. It’s been fun sorting through the 5000+ pictures we took and reliving the fun memories. […]
That’s Chip at the top of Half Dome! Chip is the latest to join us at Yosemite Summit! We are now past the half way mark with ONLY THREE SPOTS left for guys to join us for Yosemite Summit. Registration can not be increased, once we have eight there will be a waiting list! Why is Chip joining us? I […]

It has long been said that to an optimist the cup is Half Full, and to a pessimist the cup is Half Empty. Well, I am excited to let you know that Yosemite Summit is now HALF FULL – which means if you are feeling “half empty” in your spiritual life – there is still room for you to join […]
It is true that God is not distant, but it is difficult to hear Him over the noise of daily life. I believe that is why God bothered to create such a magnificent planet! We are so busy doing so many things, and yet God waits for us to notice Him and make time for Him. Perhaps you have felt […]
