En France: Update

In the mornings I’ve been teaching the students at EDEN discipleship school, followed by various activities in the afternoons, and nights of worship in the evenings. I’ve been lecturing on redefining the gospel “according to the scriptures” (1 Corinthians […]

Fashion Review: Vere Sandals
Fashion Review? I know. A bit tongue-in-cheek for those that know my wife dresses me. Out of sheer social necessity. But sandals? That’s something I know a thing or two about. Review, here I come. I discovered Vere Sandals last week. They liked a vintage photo I posted on Instagram of my father-in-law in Letchworth […]

En France
Jennifer and I leave for France in the morning. While most of our francophone focus has been in Switzerland over recent years, France is where it all began. We’re thrilled to be back with our French family and honored to spend ten days imparting into the amazing discipleship students currently enrolled in EDEN. See you […]

Order
Life is built on a sequence of events played out over time. I can’t buy my next guitar until I sell my present guitar. Which I just did. (Enjoy, Mark R.) I couldn’t write this post until I got here to Hawaii. Between the build up to Easter, the launching of our North Campus, and […]

How Do They Get So Much Accomplished?
Aside from trying to answer my children on why I have more hair on my chest that I do on top of my head, one of the questions people ask me the most is, “How do you managed to do all that you do?” While I’m always honored that my conduct is worth asking about, […]

Are You Blessed? Or Are You Grateful?
“This new car is such a blessing.” “Finally closed on the house. Feeling blessed.” “Just got back from a mission trip. Realizing how blessed we are here in this country.” On the surface, the phrase seems harmless. Faithful even. Why wouldn’t I want to give God the glory for everything I have? Isn’t that the […]
