Modern day snake oil salesmen no longer peddle worthless concoctions of oils for money. Now, they peddle worthless concoctions of controversy and contrarianism for attention or perceived relevance. And often on social media, where there is a ready market for their wares.

Great to hang out today with the one and only Kirk VanMaanen. What a kingdom minded guy. Love his passion for planting and Kingdom expansion. Send Phoenix Send Network

Privileged to hang out with the one and only Chuck Newkirk today. Chuck has served the past 16 years at Church on Mill, planted 7 other churches, has a residency in his church, leads a network in PHX that is focused on church planting. Send Network is a network of networks!

Our team has started reading through Richard Blackaby’s book “Living Out of the Overflow”. From my morning reading… “God’s primary concern for His servants is never what they are doing, but who they are becoming.”

Looking forward this morning to preach at Pinal County Cowboy Church this morning for my friend Tim Pruit. Great church and great people. Churches plant churches! Let’s go!

4 years ago this church had only 8 people. Cross Church replanted it and installed Andrew Puett to be the Campus Pastor. Since then God has performed a miracle. In a bitter sweet evening we sent Andrew off to his new assignment in Kansas but with way more than 8 people!

Great day meeting with Utah pastors that are humble and hungry and praying for a move of God in the Mountain West. So appreciate their State Executive Robert Lee encouraging church planting here in an area of such need! Send Network Send Salt Lake City Now on to Idaho!

Great day meeting with Pastors in Twin Falls Idaho. These guys are the real hero’s. Planting great churches in really hard but beautiful places. May their tribe increase! Now on to Boise! Send Network

Great day in Boise, Idaho praying and vision casting with some awesome planters and pastors. Now headed home! Send Network

The response to these tragic school shooting is revealing more what people believe about God than what they believe about guns. Maybe if our nation feared God more we would have to fear guns less. BTW - praying is not a wrong response it is the only right response.

This!
