This weekend I shared with you a discipleship diagnostic tool you can use with your Missional Communities, Kids, Spouse, Roommates…anyone serious about living a God-guarded life. These 5 God-Given Guardrails are interconnected just like our 5 fingers are. It’s not one or some…it’s all 5, ALWAYS.

1. The Word of God (Thumb)
The thumb gives grip and strength—it works with every other finger. God’s Word anchors and strengthens every guardrail. Without it, your faith can’t hold on.

2. The Spirit of God (Index Finger)
The pointer finger directs—it shows the way. The Holy Spirit guides, convicts, and leads us into all truth.

3. The People of God (Middle Finger)
The tallest finger, visible and central. The community of faith is meant to stand tall, visible to the world, and central in our walk of finding and following Christ.

4. The Presence of God (Ring Finger)
The finger of covenant and intimacy—where the wedding ring goes. God’s Presence represents closeness, intimacy, and covenant relationship.

5. The Mission of God (Pinky Finger)
The hand loses 50% of its strength without it. Same for your life and same for the church.

This weekend I taught about the God given guardrail that protects us and keeps us advancing in the right direction: THE PEOPLE OF GOD.

The backstory I didn’t feel ready or up to sharing was how personal this phrase RIP THR ROOF OFF was to my late friend …this was his favorite passage to preach on and when he did, you could feel his passion and fire to do everything we can to carry our friends to Jesus. I preached my guts out 4 times and thought about and .e.springer throughout the weekend. If you felt my urgency, you now know why. His life and legacy to remove barriers and rip off roofs is living on.

With his sudden passing, here’s what is crystal clear right now: EVERY DAY IS A GIFT.
We are promised eternity but not tomorrow so let’s be ROOF RIPPING followers of Jesus, living with urgency to do all we can to make heaven more crowded.

Beyond words.

Today we celebrated the life of a man who packed 100 years into 49.

Gone too soon? Yes. Without question.
Gone without a legacy? No.

The impact of my friend will live on. What an honor to be there today. We hold both pain and promise.

Huge shoutout to for teaching on a short notice so me and Kelly could make this trip. Beyond grateful bro.
e.springer we love you with all our hearts.

Starting another round of Stay Ready this coming Monday August 11th. We’ll call it our Back to School Beast Mode Edition. 😎

Some key areas of focus will be around filling my Alpha Circle, weekly Family dinners, an Epic Grand Opening Weekend and completing the Chicago Marathon with Team World Vision. This 50 day system has proven to be deeply transformative for me over the past 2 years and I know I need as much as anyone.

Grace is a Gift.
Growth is a Choice.
Choose Growth.

Summer Selah Complete ✅

The past two weeks I’ve been off IG to intentionally pause and rest. Two things I’m not very good at but am super thankful for the break. What a gift!!

We packed in some great moments this Summer Selah…top 10 highlights…

1. Visiting two other churches; Chicago Tabernacle and Willow Creek. What a gift for me and my family to see and experience more of The Church of Chicagoland. Was such a treat to cheer on my buddy Shawn as the new Sr Pastor of Willow.

2. Time with one of my best friends down in Waco. Can you tell that he was the starting tight end. Giant.

3. Visiting the bean w my girls.

4. Golf with my nephew, brother and dear friend Troy at RHF. Unbelievable place. The course record was very safe.

5. Celebrating the Ngala’s 1 year on staff at Mission. Forever grateful for this dream team. 🥳

6. Getting to hold Luke and Liz’s newest edition, Oliver.

7. Finishing another Ironman 70.3 with my good friend Josh. Guest appearance by Big Dawg. Meant the world, Nate.

8. An epic night w the Zirkels 🇮🇹

9. Cycling with my brother Jut 🦬

10. Salsa lessons with my Bride. 💃😍

Tomorrow marks day 1 of a new ministry season for me. I’d love and appreciate your prayers as I get back in the pulpit and help lead our amazing team forward into an unprecedented season of change and growth. Clinging to Ephesians 3:20… “now to Him who is able…”

Here we go.

I’m powering down by powering off …this two week Summer Selah break is a tremendous gift to digitally detox, unplug, rest and reload for the upcoming ministry season. The building is closed but let’s be a Church whose hearts are wide open to linger with Jesus and our loved ones, a little bit longer.

If or better said, when I don’t respond to your messages or texts or emails it’s because I’m Selah’ing 😎 🥳

Enjoy the teaching vids from and and we’ll see you next on August 2nd or 3rd as we kick off a new ministry year. 🥳

Much love ❤️✌️

What a weekend at Mission! 🙌🙌 The Gulley Brothers blessed me in a big way. Thank you Antioch for sharing these legends with us for a weekend. Deeply thankful for the sermon and worship and of course our 1913 dinner last night. We told deer hunting stories, ate way too much and laughed till it hurt. Love you guys!

Monthly 1-1 with my Halle Joy.
1st time doing a RUCK together and she’s officially onboard. Asked if there’s a pink 5.11 I can buy her 🤣

Walking opens up conversation in such a natural way, as does Menchi’s 😎

As a way to officially kick off Father’s Day Week (TM) 😎 I put some elk burgers on the tonight. This meat comes from Western Colorado and is the healthiest on the planet. Nothing like Mountain to Table. Grass fed and finished 🙌 Decided to go with an egg topper and some cherry salsa from up in Glen Arbor MI. 🎯 I’m smiling ear to ear.

This post is approved 😎

Student Camp is SOLD OUT. Our team is loading the truck now and heading north. Please be praying for our middle school and high school students tonight and this weekend. Pray for our AMAZING Volunteer Leaders who will be pouring themselves out…pray for God’s Spirit to move in a powerful way and pray for me…tonight I kick it off with a sermon on Jonah 1. I’m not use to preaching at 9pm let alone being awake past 9pm 🤣

Holy Spirit Come.
