The Shepherd is a Pastor who develops community and belonging.

On a Sunday afternoon, my wife and I were hanging out on the comfy couches in our living room with two of our sons, thirteen and sixteen.

I found out about a recent conference called “ALTARS.”

Have you ever wished you could “teach” your sound team to listen and mix more musically?

I’m using an app on my iPhone to track my activity level.

I remember asking my Dad, “Do I have to?” when asked to clean my room or do my homework.

I saw this image, and it captured my current season.

There’s lots of talk about what is happening at Asbury.

Do I have what it takes?

We invited some friends over for Sunday brunch and worship at our farm.

While I was growing up, on many Sunday mornings, my family would eat coffee soup.

I was twenty-six. Having recently moved cross-country, leaving the long summers of South Texas for the short ones of Pennsylvania, I was learning many new customs in this new culture.

On Sunday, we visited a church we hadn’t been to before. While the eight of us filed in a few minutes past starting time and found our seats in two rows, two leaders addressed the congregation.

I’m always curious. Pretty relentlessly so. Whenever I’m visiting a church, and I get the opportunity to see its soundboard, I look for patterns of overcompensation.

I read a job description for a Director of Music and was struck by the first “Core Competency” required.

This is not us!

My wife has taught me many things.

A worship leader recently asked me how to improve the quality of their services. That’s easy.
