Project Church Rundown

We’re still in Year Zero of this Gospel-driven experiment of birthing a new Christ-centered, people-loving church.

And I’m so thankful to be a part of it.

God is good.

We aren’t there yet (as if we ever will be) however, this is the closest taste I’ve ever had to authentic community.

And it tastes good.

Last night we had a totally rad 80’s party.

Always fun to Wang Chung with your friends.

Earlier this week, we had some surprise visitors, Chad and Amy Houck of Share5.org, roll into Rapid City.

They’re on a mission traveling the country in an RV to get people on mission.

We’ve enjoyed getting to know them.

And because their transmission went kaput, they’re here for a little while.

They’re good people.  Check out their website to discover more about their ministry.

Today’s Project Church gathering was eventful.

We said ciao to our homegirl Taryn who’s moving to Austin, TX.

We’ve had to say farewell to many people since we began and it’s always bittersweet.

I recommended three churches to her in the Austin area.

Austin Stone Community | Austin City Life | Gateway Church

I find myself giving church recommendations on a regular basis.

We’ve been in flux for musicians and I’m hoping we get that ironed out soon.

Betsy stepped in a did a great job today.

She is also leaving us in a couple of weeks to move to Tennessee.

I showed this fabulous clip to set up a message on Gospel-Centered Marriages.

Most memorable phrase of the message:

“Marriage is like having a toilet seat super-glued to your butt.”

“Divorce is what it feels like to have it ripped off.”

Listen to more profound thoughts from this week here.

Our podcast feed is jacked up but hopefully we’ll have that rolling right soon.

I’m very thankful for the crew who’ve been a part of this and the ones who are just now jumping on board.

Year One will begin in September and we’ll be looking to raise the ante in the Black Hills (and beyond).

Big things are a comin’ and we’re just getting started.

Please keep Project Church in your prayers.

Thank you.
