Faith & Holy Spirit
There are many aspects of our faith and our relationship with the Holy Spirit. For some of our best posts that address this topic, click below.
Pastoring in the Pandemic
It’s been interesting to watch our government leaders continue to lead through the situation and observe how different people process and react to that leadership. In the midst of all of that, I’m having a number of pastors reach out to me and ask me how I would suggest responding (as someone who understands both the pastoral and scientific worlds).
Pandemic Reflections
I’m writing this one week into what promises to be one of the most bizarre seasons of our lives. One week ago here in Illinois, the governor’s stay-at-home order went active, and since then the majority of us have been acclimating to new rhythms of working from home. For those of us who spent our days at work in the church, suddenly our lives have become full of Zoom meetings and wrestling with what ministry looks like when you cannot be with people in person.
Science & Faith: An In-Depth Look
“How does your scientific understanding mesh with your journey of faith? Do you see those conflicting at all?
If I’ve heard that question once, I’ve probably heard it a thousand times–and it’s a good question…
Building Holy Spirit Fireplaces
This summer at our Vineyard National Conference, I shared that I’ve found it helpful to think of cultivating Holy Spirit ministry with the analogy of building fireplaces within our local churches. It’s easy, at times, for charismatics to pray and ask for God to send more power, believing that if we just had more anointing flowing, that would take care of whatever problems we’re facing…

Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg collectively form one Association of Vineyard Churches—the structure that the Vineyard uses for it’s national movements. Termed the Benelux Vineyard, these three countries just north of France and Germany have seen a fascinating and chaotic history…
The On the Journey Vision
I hope you’ve found On the Journey helpful! We’re excited to be able to share quality content that helps each of us on the adventure God has for us. It’s been fun to see how we can use current tools and platforms (Email, Facebook, Website, hopefully more to come soon!) to connect the Church together and learn how to do this thing in a more connected and collaborative way.
2019 AUSTRALIA TRIP RECAP
I’m writing this blog post at 5:30 in the morning because jet lag woke me up at 4:00am. Adjusting to a fifteen hour time shift will do that to you…but it’s a small price to pay for being able to join the Father in what he’s doing around the globe. #worthit
LET’S “DTR” WITH OUR FAITH
Defining the Relationship” with our faith can be a struggle. You see, Jesus calls us to a paradoxical faith—in, but not of, the world…
Vineyard USA 2019 National Conference Recap
This past July I was afforded a wonderful honor: I was included among the speaking roster at the Vineyard USA national conference. Given that this is the Association of Vineyard Churches that is my home movement, I was deeply grateful and really humbled to be included in the limited few that had the privilege of addressing the movement. It turned out to be a wonderfully fun time, although the backstory may be a little more colorful than those present were aware of…

Doris had a rare retinal disease since she was a child. This disease made her vision very cloudy and blurry, and would also put a web-like structure over her vision. She recently had Covid and everything got worse and she developed arthritis throughout her body, which is actually linked to her rare disease. This day at the conference, she could barely see.
