It's been 2.5 years since I took my first steps on the Camino de Santiago. I was inspired, crushed and inspired again during my six plus weeks walking across northern Spain. 10 of the 80 men I invited came to walk with me for a season...from a couple days to a week....

Last summer, when we started the Music and Mission program, we had 7 musicians and $35,000 committed to the program. This summer, 2024, we had 6 musicians and $5000 on hand. I almost cancelled the program, but it was God's program from the very beginning and I figured...

Six high school and college students chose to engage living an intentional life for six to eight weeks. Music was the tool to facilitate that process. Weeks 1-3 Students planned breakfast and lunch, working off of a budget. Students spent time in their spiritual life....

How the musicians gathered...    The first year it felt like God's hand placed the talent into motion. Two students from Upper Columbia Academy, two from Portland Adventist Academy, two from Walla Walla University and one from Redding, CA. This year, most of the...

Hello friends...these images represent the past year of engaging the world for the cause of Christ. Concerts, retreats, a summer music tour for high school and college students, church planting, storage shifting, prepping for the next Camino excursion, wakes,...

January 2, 2023 Happy New Year! And may you continue to live in the blessings of grace that surround us. I have a friend/ life coach/ advisor who tells me, in a loving way, that I need to get over my ability to over share:-) I so want to sit with you, listen to your...

Several years ago, longer than I care to admit, I was asked to invite you to a party. Not just any party, but a kegger of seemingly monumental proportions involving connection, commitment and conviction. However, I just wasn’t that brave …so I put the party on...

Good day, my friends! And Happy 2022! I hope this finds you in the midst of an amazing life…fully engaging the days you’ve acquired…which seems to be much harder to do than it would appear at first glance. The distractions that lead us away from being fully present...

PARTNERING WITH KEVIN BRUSETT – FOUNDER OF INNER ANVIL MINISTRIES Kevin Brusett recently asked God for 20 years of significance. Part of God’s response back to Kevin was to ask him to be vulnerable and invite others to partner with him. In the video below Kevin does...

   I’m sitting before a lifeless fireplace in a lovely summer house in Flagstaff, Arizona. It belongs to my brother and sister in law, Dan and Ricci Wright. They graciously gave the three of us free access in support of Casey’s steps towards freedom. Casey and...

Hard to believe she was getting married…to a preacher. You never think the students you work with will age, cause you don’t age, right? And yet, years after leaving the youth group on the west coast, she had found her Prince Charming in the hills of Tennessee and it...

Jan. 2018   One Year To Go He was waiting and ready to get home…not in an unkind way, just had travelled 6 plus hours and was tired. He brought his small travel case to the trunk and tried to pick it up, but couldn’t muster the leverage. I grabbed it and got it taken...

3967.3 miles for this trip. I left on a Saturday, around 5:30 am, to make church in Post Falls, Idaho. I didn’t know what to expect from church, but I knew what to expect from my cousin, Gayle, and her husband, Paul…nothing but love. Come to find out, NorthWest Summit...

As 2016 comes to a close, I find myself reflective. My mind wanders back to meeting a 16 year old young man from Arizona, years ago. He was cautious, witty and a bit of a smart ass…and we became classmates, me, the teacher, and him, the student. But in reality, our...

This is an invitation to join me in creating a place…a place at the table. It’s six a.m. and you’re walking into your local coffee shop to meet a friend. You stand in line, waiting your turn, eyeing the available table space. A Jack Johnson tune plays in the...

Changes in the making… It’s been a year of change and with that, a year of deep and irretrievable growth. A year ago I was wondering how God would provide after the unemployment ran out. The government had sent me a letter that shared their view, that with 30 years of...

I have a mentor that lives half the year near Phoenix, Arizona and half the year in Seaside, on the Oregon coast. He invited me to coffee 10 or 11 years ago and I went along, just to humor him ( and hear some cool biker stories cause he rides a Harley ). Kevin and Al...

Looking back and remembering… A lot can happen in four or five months. A thousand highs and lows can melt into a single line of print and nobody, including yourself, is the wiser. These last few months have been exceptionally intriguing, mostly due to my own lack of...

Welcome to the edge. It’s my edge…not yours. You can pace it’s rim with me if you like, but it will always be mine. I can’t own your edge and you can’t own mine. And don’t look down, into the deep. Fear will eddy and roil about in the emptiness and stutter your step,...
