Divorce: Am I cursed?
On August 14 we finished our series on love, sex, marriage and dating by talking about “family”. We’ve even looked at generational sin. We don’t usually think how our romantic and family decisions affect others….even our children….or grandchildren….or great great greatchildren. But the reality is it does. A quick sociological study of a few family heritages today could demonstrate this. Decisions that affect your family, really matter. Every time you choose fidelity to your spouse it affects your ...
From Lisa … Why do I look forward to MR// Sunday service?
Hi! It’s Lisa… (better known as Josh’s wife) LOL!
I am high-jacking Josh’s blog!!!!
With all the stuff going on Josh has slacked on updating the blog so I am taking over!!! not forever- just to help update it. I’m very excited for him to give all the updates but in the mean time- I’ll talk about what I want to talk about.
So I was thinking about the service coming up on Sunday night and was trying to figure out what makes ...
Facebook Campus // Thursday 9PM (EST) // Special Guest: Ben Glenn!
We’re approaching the end of the “More Than a Wedding” summer sermon series at Mercy Road. We promised we’d cover the topic of “parenting”. I can’t tell you how excited and honored I am to be interviewing a special guest on the Mercy Road Facebook Campus this Thursday (Aug. 4) at 9PM (EST). I get the privilege of sitting down with Ben Glenn the Simple ADHD Expert for an upfront conversation on ADHD and related issues.
Some of you may ...
Help, not hype. Sunday night at 6PM.
We live in a world of hype. You can’t by a loaf of bread without being bombarded with consumerist images intent on taking your money for a peace of “happiness”.
(And this ad is from 1968!)
Unfortunately churches often aren’t that different, luring others through slick marketing campaigns, rather than through a sacrificial life with God. So please forgive me if I “over-hype” tomorrow night, but it is an important night. I believe real change in ...
Influence
Most of us think a lot of how much influence we have OVER people and very little of how much influence we have WITH people. Think about it for a second. Every conversation you have every day is influencing another person’s day in some way. Think a bit deeper. Most communication you do in a given day is not verbal, but through your actions and body language. That means every word, action, deed is influencing another person in ...

Why, “This Sunday at 6pm it’s worth dropping whatever you’re doing for Mercy Road’s 1st public worship service.”
Reason #2 – The air is FREE.
I know we live in a consumerist age when we need a little enticement to provoke change. Here’s the deal. If you’re one of the 1st 1,000 people at the Summer Worship Launch this Sunday at 6pm you can breath for free.
You’re welcome!
That’s it. No free t-shirts or consumerist prizes. When our family moved to Indiana to start Mercy Road we met with the initial team ...
The Top 5 Reasons, “This Sunday at 6pm it’s worth dropping whatever you’re doing for Mercy Road’s 1st public worship service.”
Reason #1: Monday morning you’ll be thankful.
We can figure out so many ways to waste life… talking, checking social media, and watching re-runs of Quantum Leap on Ion T.V. (maybe that’s just me). We all have our favorite life-stealer. (My latest one is Craig’s List…there’s just so many deals!!!) It can be fun while it lasts, but I don’t ever remember being thankful for playing Solitaire for 12 hours.
Can you really play Solitaire for 12 hours?!
I ...
Reflecting on Jaxton in a Paradise Cafe
I’m currently sitting in a Paradise Cafe preparing to share Jaxton’s story for the first time this coming Sunday. It’s a message that’s been growing inside of me since the night of his passing. In the past few minutes, I’ve watched an elderly man read the newspaper alone. I know it’s kind of creepy of me, but I’ve been wondering what that’s like to be towards the end of this adventure of life. He’s likely experienced pain and death numerous ...
