Monday Meltdown
It’s 11:44pm and I’m finally getting to the Monday Meltdown. This is the time each week where I give an update on the church God has us leading called Mercy Road. Like every week, there’s a lot to share, but the coming weeks are especially important as we move from vision to reality. I guess you could say Mercy Road is beginning to “hatch” Lady Gaga style.
(But let’s not say that because it’s only been 24 hrs. and ...
Talented Enough?
This video is just ridiculous!
I realize we all have special talents in life. Not a chance you can probably make those throws, but I believe with everything that God has uniquely gifted you to make a difference in the world. I’ve worked with people long enough to know many people never feel “talented” enough to live a life of impact. Especially in the Christian world.
In the Carmel Outpost last night we talked about living “white-hot faith”. We mentioned a number ...
Monday Meltdown
Congrats to the Green Bay Packers for moving on without Brett Favre and winning another Super Bowl. Vision like that takes leadership. I’m convinced to regularly shoot for greatness in your life means you have to be willing to make tough decisions. I’d like to tip my hat to the Packer organization from one Brett Favre fan.
It’s Monday – when I update the latest on Mercy Road – the church God has us starting here in Indianapolis. It’s ...
Guest Post // Lisa Husmann – How has the transition to Indiana been?
Hi there!
Well a lot of people have been wondering how this native Southern Californian girl is holding up for my first real winter. To all your amazement, I am doing fairly well. I have adjusted to not using the mountains or ocean as my compass and relying on my inner north (mapquest) to get me from one place to the next. I just started memorizing the cornfields instead. Ha ha … Just kidding!
You’d be surprised at how beautiful it can ...
Ice Meltdown
I apologize to those of you that read the Monday Meltdown for the lateness of this post due to the snowpocalyptic ice storm we’ve been having. Luckily it hasn’t been as bad as the picture above. For those in warmer weather, Indy got hit with a bad first wave of an ice storm last night and will probably be hit worse tonight!
Outpost Updates:
Our Fishers Outpost met last night despite the ice!
The Carmel Outpost is CANCELED for tonight due to ...

Social Media Dilemma
I could really use some help!
I new friend and social media expert Erik Decker, author of Branding Yourself, recently posted the 10 Signs You’re NOT a Social Media Expert. I use Twitter and Facebook constantly, so I was surprised when I realized I was doing #8 on the list: “feeding your Twitter stream into Facebook.”
I asked Erik why forwarding Twitter to my Facebook status was bad. Doesn’t it save me time? So to help people like me Erik posted the ...
Sunday Schedule
We’re less than one week away from the start of the new Fishers and Broad Ripple Outposts! These are absolutely critical to to the vision God has given us. You’ll definitely want to get involved in one of them. Some have also asked what the Sunday schedule looks like until the worship experience starts in August of 2011.
We’ll be attending the 11am service at Bridgeway Community Church at least twice a month and encourage the entire team to do so ...

Vision Experience Today
I dedicated a week of the blog to giving reasons why I was excited for the Mercy Road Vision Experience and why you should be too. We just got back from the event. It was an incredible morning and went MUCH better than we anticipated. It logistically went smooth, there were more people than we expected, and there’s a genuine excitement for what’s happening. It really is hard to curb the enthusiasm our team has right now.
I just wanted to pause ...
