- Crazy day at Revolution Church!
- We launched our first semester of small groups ever today! We call them LifeHouse Groups. We launched with six groups! If you were gone today, sign up for a group here, now!
- I have the MOST incredible wife ever!
- Tomorrow I get to officiate a wedding for a deaf couple. They are friends from The Connection Church in Kyle, TX. Last time I used my sign language skills, I asked a bunch of deaf friends if they were going to “sex the church.” Apparently the proper sign language for the word sex and the word join are somewhat similar. Oops.
- I am blown away at how many people are downloading our message either on podcast or via the website each week. Insanity! Check out the “hub” here.
- Have I said my wife rocks yet?
- By the way, the team at Revolution Church rocks too. They are the most dedicated people I’ve ever had the honor to work with.
- The band played “Rise and Sing” by Steve Fee today. IT WAS INCREDIBLE. In fact, the band was INCREDIBLE all together today!
- Anyone want to buy a stinking sweet 2000 Ford Expedition with brand new tires on it?
- Along the same line…anyone have a super cheap or even free car that they ‘d like to bless a pastor with. No, not me. I have a pastor friend that needs it bad. Contact zak@revyourlife.com if you have any info.?
- PUMPED up about our next message series that will launch on Easter Sunday.
- Also PUMPED about the four egg hunts we’ll be doing that day and the prizes that will be in the eggs! Good stuff…an Xbox, an iPod and more!

- Please pray for our sound guy, David Carey, and his family. He is already fighting cancer and this morning he was rushed to the ER for heart issues. We will know tomorrow, but tonight, would you please pray for him?
- SERIOUSLY sore from the 31 mile race I ran yesterday. MAN. Don’t remember ever being so sore.
- No pain no gain though. That’s not just a dumb saying…its PURE TRUTH. If you want to accomplish something great, it WILL cost you something.
- Last night a literally sat in a tub of ice water for 20 minutes. Freezing cold…but felt good. Might do it again tonight.
- Revolution Church was CRAZY today!
- We had my good buddy Josh Rosenthal in from Salt Lake City Utah leading worship. It was interesting to see how people responded to just a mic and a guitar instead of a loud, driving band. I love mixing it up!
- Also, in Revolution Kids, we had a magician, Aaron Lynch performing. He shared some stories from the Bible in very creative ways. Honored to have him with us.
- We had people accept Christ today! NEVER GETS OLD! YEAH BABY!
- Also had a TON of 1st time guests today. Awesome!
- My good friend, Seth Pennington, and I hung a 5 foot by 10 foot banner with the church logo, website and service times on the front of our meeting location today. Awesome to have some constant exposure at our location.
- I shared our 1st BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) today for the first year of Revolution Church…we want to see 100 people baptized during year one!
- Had some awesome new people step up today into volunteer roles when we really needed it.
- Yes, I said “you don’t give a damn” in the sermon today. Go listen here. It was a powerful story/illustration of how we tend to think vs. how we need to think.
- Pumped about starting our new message series next week called “Save the Humans!”
- Also pumped about our first ever Partnership Class! If you attend Revolution Church, I hope you’ll join us for this special day!
Sunday Mind Dump
I haven’t done these is a LONG time, but now that we are having church each week I am kicking the MIND DUMP back into action!
What is a mind dump?
Well, on Sundays, I am usually so pumped up that I can’t sleep unless I process the day’s events. A mind dump is when you grab some paper (or in my case a keyboard) and write everything that you need to do, everything that is bothering you, prayers, hopes, etc as quickly as possible. This has the effect of clearing out your mental closet.
You should try it sometime…so here it is, the Sunday Mind Dump, BACK IN ACTION BABY!
- Today was week two at Revolution Church. Absolutely amazing! The place was packed out again. Many people made decisions to follow Jesus today!
- I had the honor of Baptizing Tyler Hooper today. So stinking cool to see lives changed! The weather forecast said it would be 51 degrees outside when we Baptized, but it never got above 32 degrees. WHOA! Check out the pics here of Tyler’s freezing cold baptism!
- I cannot believe that I get to do what I do!
- My wife is incredible. She supports me like nobody’s business!
- The team at Revolution blows my mind. I am mesmerized at this group of people and how they pour themselves into seeing lives changed!
- After today, I know we are going to have to go to two services soon! If you are attending Revolution I want to encourage you to be a part of the SERVOLUTION! Check it out by clicking here.
- We put this up on the web last night and the questions are already POURING in. YIKES! Looks like I’d better get to work!
- Had a blast preaching on sex and marriage today. Click here to listen if you missed the service or click here for the iTunes podcast link.

- Services this morning seemed long to me. I think it was because I walked around a lot trying to take it all in since its my second to last Sunday. I am having a HARD time accepting what life will be like without TCC every Sunday!
- Had a Creative Team meeting today to begin solidifying the TCC Creative Machine that will take and run with many of my duties after I am gone.
- The band was absolutely incredible today. SPOT. ON. Awesome!
- Cole led us in worship for two songs out of the set and I loved it. The guy is truly a whatever it takes team player. I admire him in so many ways.
- Crud. I’m getting mushy already.
- Took a 24 hour trip to Dallas Friday and Saturday all by myself. The all by myself part stunk but the trip was awesome.
- In Dallas I got to:
- Go to the Rangers VS. Dodgers game. $200 tickets behind home plate FOR FREE. Ask me sometime how. I have a new system.
- Attend a church planter training
- Hang with some awesome church planters
- Meet two Russian church plant pastors. These guys were crazy, scary smart. Like Kristi West smart.
- Hear my Church Plant Coach, Sam Douglass speak. The guy just inspires the heck out of me and rips apart my strategy only to build it up even better each time I’m with him. I can’t believe I get to have him as a coach.
- Hear Jeremy White, lead pastor of Stonewater Church in Granbury, TX speak. This guy is the real deal. He cares about one thing: reaching people with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ and equipping them to become committed followers of Him, so that they can GO and reach and equip more people for Jesus Christ.
- Eat a lot
- Go to the Rangers VS. Dodgers game. $200 tickets behind home plate FOR FREE. Ask me sometime how. I have a new system.
- Whoa, that’s the first time I’ve had sub-bullets in a mind dump. I am getting all technical and organized.
- Felt soooooo good to hold my boy after being away from him for a full week. In July, I won’t see him or Amber for almost three weeks. I think I’ll just lock myself in a room with happy flowers and bunnies while they are gone so that I don’t feel the pain…
- Got a lot of good feedback from people today about watching Pastor Craig Groeschel’s “One Prayer: God is Love” message via video. I loved it!
- I can’t believe how many kids got so sun-burned at Beach Camp. Put sunscreen on once every hour…knuckle heads. I know Pastor Nic told you over and over and over…
- Just looked over at my wife. Wow. I cannot believe how beautiful she is. And she married me? My gosh…I am so out of my league…
- Its new iPhone week. Yeah!
