There is something about old church sanctuaries that I love. Our church plant will launch this fall and was gifted a church building from a church that closed after 140 years of being a congregation. This is the 120 year old sanctuary.

I think it's time to open an investigation and find out who is truly right or wrong. Let a third party outside of the EC research and find out the truth. For the sake of the SBC it needs to happen.
Announced to our church today that at the end of July we will be moving to Pittsburgh to plant a church through

Social media has shown me that a lot of people have never actually spoken to a sexual abuse survivor or someone who has been closely affected by it. As a counselor I cringe at the things said to survivors on social media with no realization of the trauma being caused

Though he wouldn’t know me from anyone I always remember him being especially kind when he was a Swbts trustee. I worked on campus there and of all the trustees he seemed to genuinely care about students the most.
Last week my family was on

prayer calendar. Since we have received hundreds of letters and emails from churches, pastors and church members in 18 different states encouraging us and praying for us. This is what makes the SBC great.

run around the whole convention hall with coffee in his hand, laptop open while dodging every messenger. Sometimes with his coffee sitting on his laptop. Skills
Only been in Pittsburgh about 6 months now and one thing I have learned is everyone of these people is the real deal. Thankful to be a part of

We MUST STOP just giving lip service to victims and truly lock arms and fight with them for justice! We must create databases and anything else to make sure those who have abused anyone are not going to serve in any church again!

I sat with the remaining 10 members most in their 70s and asked them to tell me stories. They told stories from when they were kids sitting in the balcony when it was packed. To the ministries they did how they served the community. They were all faithful believers.
Had someone tell me they love

because they planted their church through them and they’re great. Not knowing much about it I looked at their website and

If you contact your congressman’s office his staff can actually help you get any medals he may have, plus army records. It can take a few months but all you need is some proof he is your granddad and a few forms filled out. Super easy
Our one week old, Shepherd, temp dropped low tonight and since he had some abnormal blood work from when he was born we were told to take him as quickly as possible to Children’s in Pittsburgh. Will you pray for the little guy and my wife Emily as she’s with him? Appreciate it!
Well looks like we will go from a family of 4 to a family of 5 this winter. Rocking some Pittsburgh gear as this kiddo will be born in Pittsburgh. Excited for the days ahead!
Reclamation Church in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, is committed to multiplication and will send out their first church planting resident this year!
Pray for Brent and his wife, Emily, as they prepare to launch Reclamation Church New Kensington in September. |

@ChildrensPgh
who are taking great care of our week old son Shepherd. Hope to have some answers soon to what’s going on but thankful he’s here. For now he hangs out under lights and gets more blood work and tests run. Thankful for the prayers!
Found out this morning a close friend passed away unexpectedly. He was one of the best guys I knew. Loved the Lord, loved being a Student Pastor. So many people came to know Christ because of his witness. He’s worshipping at the throne of Christ now. What a sight that must be!
Was supposed to go to SBC Annual Meeting but we’re welcoming our first mission team this week as we prepare to plant here in Pittsburgh so canceled my plans. Praying for all who are attending and for peace during all the business sessions

Man that group is brutal. I got invited to it a few weeks back and accepted. Worst decision ever. I had to get out as quickly as I could before I said something that I’m sure they would use against me somehow.
My wife just told me she’s tired of packing(she’s 20 weeks pregnant) and she’s going to just let me do the rest for our move this weekend. There’s about a 90 percent chance she will regret this decision, But this house is about to get completely packed in an hour…….

I will second any motion brought about this! This is long overdue due. Churches can’t investigate themselves when it comes to these matters and nether should any organization. Should always be an outside organization willing to bring truth to light!
@freedomsbride
All it should say is. “If you’re a pastor and someone says they’re being abused, 1) believe them 2) call 911” that’s all the article should say. As a counselor I’ve talked to more people who were given bad guidance by their friends and pastors who didn’t know what they were doing
@RobertDownen_
It’s a sad situation and there’s more people who haven’t come forward that he abused. I’m thankful for yours and

Ryne Sandberg, Joe Morgan, Jackie Robinson, Rogers Hornsby. Altuve is somewhere with Robinson Cano hovering around top 10. But he could easily move up
Just watched the new movie “The Holdovers” which is phenomenal and apparently Dominic Sessa(who plays one of the main characters and is predicted to be Oscar nominated for the film) was in the theater a few rows in front of me….. Random cool experience here in Pittsburgh

Brady also won MVP with Randy Moss catching 23 TD passes plus Wes Welker. Manning had Harrison and Wayne. Every great QB had at least 1 great receiver.
