I recently completed a yearlong personal vision cohort with Will Mancini and about 12 other pastors from across North America. This was a very rewarding experience that taught be a lot of new things about how God has made me and what I want or need to do when I grow up. During a […]
Opportunity-Intentionality-Availability
I’m continually learning more about what it means to be a disciple (follower of Jesus) and teach others how to do the same. It’s a basic command that we have as Christians – to share the Good News as we go (read Matthew 28:19). I have recognized 3 areas that help me live and teach […]
What Is A Worship Service?
Here’s a quick vision of our weekly Central Gathering at Mercy Road Church. Many churches call this a worship service. I grew up understanding this term for the weekly trip to church every Sunday morning. But I wonder how often we really think about the term ‘worship service’ in the context of our local church involvement? […]
The Task – Being a Worship Leader
An excellent description of what it means to be a worship leader…
Creation Scale Perspective
My friend, Craig, sent me a link to this very cool web application. When you go to this website it will take about 30 seconds to “load”, then you can have some fun zooming in/out to gain perspective on the size of our universe. It’s truly amazing to see how God’s creation is so beautiful […]

Here’s the transcript that I found related to that video. Enjoy! -PB The Bible says my King is a seven-way King: He’s the […]
3DM Workshop Experience
Recently, my wife and I attended a 3DM workshop in Minneapolis. I was expecting this to be another one of those 3-day church conference trips, get away from the office, meet a few new people that I’ll never see again, buy a couple of meals on the expense account and try to sleep on a […]
Moral Freedom…God’s Love For Us, by Addington

I appreciate the word “followership” in his blog, it’s a cool word and helps me understand. Connect to his blog here. Enjoy and be grateful for God’s love today as you read this. -B […]
Captivated By The One Who Blesses
I’m reading a daily devotion today and the author has reminded me of a very important part of being a grateful worshiper of Jesus Christ. He says, “People who have a grateful heart are always praising God. You often hear them say, “God is good!” They know that God is the reason for every blessing […]
