“I’ve got something to ask you.” Night after night, we stand in the lobby at the conclusion of the show to hear people’s stories, pray, and answer questions about As Family We Go. Still, whenever someone leads off the conversation with that statement, it can go sideways pretty quickly. Bracing for an awkward turn, I…
The As Family We Go fall tour has kicked off and it seems as though we have picked up where we left on the spring tour with ease. This group of musicians, crew, and children really have become family—a family going in pursuit of Jesus and His mission. We found ourselves in Alamogordo, New Mexico—admiring…
We have officially kicked off the fall leg of our As Family We Go tour and could not be more excited and expectant for what God is going to do! We weren’t really sure what to expect from our spring portion. Yet, it seemed around every corner Jesus was surprising us—surprising us by hearing first-hand…
Hello friends! It is hard to believe that summer is winding down and even harder to believe that it has been six months since we launched As Family We Go! We have all been taking some downtime this summer to rest, spend time with our families, and prayerfully prepare for expansion in the adventures of…

We hear about the struggles when small communities fold, and the difficulties in…

I hate roller coasters. I hate feeling like I’m falling, I hate feeling suspended, I hate heights. This was not good news. But it…
Our friend Matt Metzger shares his own story about how destructive it can be when Christian leaders live in competition with one another, and how healing and powerful it can be when we realise we’re all a part of the same family.
“People want revival, but don’t want to do the work that goes into it.” This statement from a missional leader in Michigan resonated with me the rest of the night. It is easy to get caught up in the warm and fuzzies of church experiences, in the excitement the Holy Spirit fills us with, and…
Yesterday we had the immense privilege of chatting with church-planter Joe Woodruff. It’s probably not an over-exaggeration to say we all sat around leaning in like kids listening to an epic story as he shared from his wealth of experience as a pastor. If you had to distill the message of As Family We Go…
