Thankful for a God-driven year.
On Sunday we had our one year birthday party for Mercy Road Church. The year has definitely flown and been an unforgettable one. Some of you shared your experiences in our Birthday Video. Here it is:

Many of the people you saw had never been a part of a church, hadn’t been to a church in years, or had never been in a leadership role within a church. ...
Birthday Bash
It’s been a great fall so far at Mercy Road ( http://www.mercyroad.cc ) with a lot of new people and even stronger committed to the cause. Many of you have shared with me the impact God has had on your life through Mercy Road. We’re going to be celebrating that this Sunday for our 1-year Birthday Bash! Pray, invite, and celebrate with us this Sunday! I can’t wait to see a lot of new and ...
Are science and Christianity compatible?
This Sunday at Mercy Road Church, we’re continuing our message series Giant Neon Elephants in the City with a discussion on other religions. This is probably the message I’ve been looking forward to the least because it’s so personal and controversial. Thanks for your prayers!
Join us this Sunday at 10:15 AM // 5150 East 126th St., Carmel, IN 46033. If you had trouble finding a seat last week, we’re prepared for alternative options of seating.
What does the Bible say about gay marriage?
We kicked off the Giant Neon Elephants in the City series last week with a look at “gay marriage”
We took an in depth look at what the Bible does and does not teach on this issue. Thanks for watching the entire video before forming an opinion. I love that Mercy Road Church deals with real issues!
Join us this Sunday as we look at science, evolution, and the Bible.

GIANT NEON ELEPHANTS IN THE CITY
Recently, a lot of people have had questions surrounding the “to Chick-Fil-A or not” debate. If your not familiar with the situation (have you been living under a rock?!), Chick-Fil-A President Dan Cathy recently made statements that were taken as denouncing sex-sex marriages. (Although some state that he was taken out of context.)
The LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) community called for a boycott of Chick-Fil-A, which caused former presidential candidate and Fox News analyst Mike Huckabee to ...
Sunday, New Facility, and the Future of Mercy Road
On Sunday at the Mercy Road worship experience, the operations team shared our hope to move to our first leased building, beginning in mid-late fall. The church reacted with excitement. We might have our own place! …and we can take coffee in the future auditorium. I think we’re the only church in human history to grow in numbers despite not offering coffee on Sunday mornings. (We’re not allowed to have coffee in the current school auditorium.) You know Jesus’ life, ...
A quick personal update: Baby Jenna’s still not here, but…
After weeks of waiting, baby Jenna is still not here. It’s our third baby and first girl, but it seems like we’ve been waiting forever this time. Waiting is the worst. Have you ever been in that stage of life where you feel like you’re just waiting. Waiting for clarity on a college major, future spouse, career path, job promotion, pregnancy, escrow account, stock market, new job, retirement, pension, grandkids….it seems like the waiting never stops!
Psalm 27:14 says, “Wait for the Lord; be ...
Why you care that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are getting a divorce.
I just heard that after 5 years of marriage Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are filing for divorce. Some of you aren’t surprised or are not interested, but most of you remember Cruise announcing his undying love for Holmes on the Oprah Winfrey Show. He was excited, pumping fists, and jumping on couches! He was in love!
Yet, like many passionate relationships, it’s since fizzled out….it lost the spark and ended. Tabloids, columnists, and even pastors will now ...
What God’s Been Teaching Me…
On Sunday, we kicked off our 5-week series Pioneers of Change. In the book of Acts, Jesus ascends back to Heaven and essentially leaves a few uneducated, blue collar workers as the hope of the world. God’s grace was sufficient to change all of human history through these few people. Today God’s mission is no different. If you consider yourself a Christian, you are the hope God has given the world. Not self-righteous hope, but we’re to ...
Pioneers of Change
Say what you want about Lebron James, but he still has an NBA championship and you don’t. There was a HUGE difference between last year’s Heat and this years. Teams do change. Players even change (maybe even Lebron).
I first knew life changed quickly, when I was 17 and decided to play organized baseball for the first time since I was 9. The first home varsity game I was put in to pinch run and ended up on third base, when ...
