Who says Miracles don’t happen?? I experienced a MIRACE this week!

I can’t even tell you how many times people have told me that miracles don’t happen and God doesn’t answer prayers! That’s a crock of crap!  Yes, I know a…

Are the Walls of Life Caving in?

Because I’m a Pastor, I hear a lot of not so fun life stories. Not to sugar coat it, but it’s hard! On the other hand, I also hear so…

Great say encouraging and challenging students to...
#Choose Kindness because Kindness Lifts. #assemblies #kindness #kindnesslifts My traveling partner! I really tried to get him to take a nice and serious picture! But, we had a blast exploring downtown Chicago a bit! 
This young man. I juts don’t have the words. He’s been a constant encouragement to me his entire life. How he loves his dad is an absolute delight. I love him so incredibly much! I love laughing with him. I love partnering with him!

I can wait to see what plans God has for him!

#chicago #travel #traveling #travelpartner #ilovebeinghisdad Wow! So excited to be at Grumlaw Church this morning! Honored to finish up there ‘Brand: New’ series! I’d be honored if you pray for Grumlaw!

#grumlawchurch #guestspeaker A little Friday morning prayer walk.

I don’t know what the future holds for Thrive Church MI and a 24/7 space. But, I continue to pray and ask God to open the doors to a miracle and ONLY GOD location!

I believe when Thrive gets a home, we can divert the energy that goes into being a portable church, to being even more FOR the community! We have such crazy dreams and I can’t wait!! #prayerwalk #praying #dreaming #forthecommunity #thrivechurchmi We did it! All 7 of us made it through a movie! Kai has a few rough spots. In the van or at home when he gets scared, he yells ‘push the button’, but he figured out pretty quick no one could push the button on the big screen! But, we even got a family selfie!! So much fun!
