Pics from Winter Xtreme 09

Xtreme was a blast again this year and I was glad to be with such good friends backing me up. Here are some pics of us leading worship and of Marcus, Matt, and Jake being...

50 Years of Marriage

My wife and I drove down to Deland, Florida to celebrate her grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. She worked really hard to bring it all together and managed to keep it a surprise to boot. My wife is super great at surprises (remind me to tell you about my 30th birthday sometime) and it always makes...

Day 1 of Winter Xtreme 2009

We’re blessed to be leading worship up here in Pigeon Forge for Winter Xtreme once again. I brought with me some great leaders from Oak Leaf Church to be my band this year. Very proud! I’ve been loading up images on the camera I got for Christmas so as soon as I figure out how...

Technical Problems

my website has been down for quite some time. Finally got it working again thanks to the amazing magical wonders of the super Seth Skinner. while I was away, I was working on a redesign just to have something up and am now contemplating actually changing my theme all together. not sure what to do....

Week 4

So I decided to try something revolutionary. My first week of camp made eating right a bit difficult but I held strong until the weekend. Saturday night my wife and I went on a date and decided to try Big Pie in the Sky pizza which is right down the road from our house (and...

SuperWOW Fort Walton Week 1

What a great week! What a great group of students. Excited and passionate about worship God. Technology was our enemy this week – computers failing, in-ears breaking, power black outs, you name it – but GOD WAS STILL GLORIFIED!!! We don’t need no stinkin’ tech to worship God! My favorite part about the week was...

Week 3

This week was frustrating. I kept to my diet but actually gained weight. I upped the amount of weight I was using in the routine and so I know people are going to say, “muscle weighs more than fat” which I will quickly respond, “but that doesn’t help me if it is hidden by the...

Wireless Power Is Coming

This is the one thing I wish I was smart enough to invent. I had the idea a long time ago but of course…I’m not a scientist or engineer so I had no idea where to even begin. Plus, all the smart people who did have the know how were already working on it behind...

Week 2

WEEK 2 They say the first two weeks are the hardest and well…it was pretty hard. I pushed myself further than I ever have before. 40 minute non-stop workout routine followed by either a 30-45 minute run or an hour bike ride (one in which I rode from Acworth to Cartersville to work) for six...

I’m Not On A Diet. I’m Eating As God Intended.

WEEK 1 I’m on a workout routine and am changing what I eat to help the results. Specifically I am doing Power90 which as I understand it is P90x for slower, fatter, more out of shape people (like myself). Basically, it is an older version of P90x with phases that allow a weak, pathetic individual...

Posted 2 years, 1 month ago in Oak Leaf
Today’s prayer requests come from Jody May, our small groups pastor. Jody is also our campus pastor and is in charge of setup at the theater. Tomorrow is Thursday, and I’m asking everyone to pray and fast for the mission of our church. Here’s what Jody writes… As we have...

Prayer Guide Day 2 – Jonathan Sutton

Posted 2 years, 1 month ago in Oak Leaf
Today’s prayers come to you via Jonathan, our Family Pastor. Reaching kids and families is not a secondary thing at Oak Leaf. It’s not an afterthought. And Kidventure (preschool & elementary) is not a low priority. In fact, it’s a top priority! God has called us to impact kids and...

Prayer Guide Day 1 – Michael Lukaszewski

Posted 2 years, 1 month ago in Oak Leaf
This morning, I want to ask you to pray for what happens on Sunday. Sunday is the time when most people will experience Oak Leaf Church for the first time. So, we spend a lot of time throughout the week getting ready for Sunday, preparing for the guests that will...

OLC Sunday Report

Posted 2 years, 1 month ago in Oak Leaf
The last day at Woodland was joyous and sad at the same time. I’m going to miss that stage…but it is not about me. Michael encouraged all of us to do something together as a church this week to prepare for the first week back in the movie theatre. Everyday,...

OLC Sunday Report

Posted 2 years, 2 months ago in Oak Leaf
Another great Sunday. We were expecting smaller crowds with it being July 4th and all but I think we should stop trying to predict what we think God will do. The last few weeks, Michael has been on fire. You can tell he is getting much more comfortable saying it...

OLC Sunday Update

Posted 2 years, 2 months ago in Oak Leaf
Another great Sunday at the Leaf. Michael announced we are moving back to the movie theater on July 20 – a little earlier than originally scheduled. We discussed it in our second service "green room bible study" and talked about how sometimes God gives a vision and we try to...

OLC Sunday Report

Posted 2 years, 2 months ago in Oak Leaf
I actually wasn’t at Oak Leaf this morning, but I’ll give you the low down from second-hand knowledge. Jody May spoke this morning while Michael visited some other churches. Matt Moody led worship and did a great job. I made a video about us leaving Woodland for the movie theatre...

OLC Sunday Report

Posted 2 years, 2 months ago in Oak Leaf
Great Sunday! Michael spoke out of the second chapter of Joshua and talked about how God can use anyone to fulfill His purpose – even a former prostitute. There were three worship leaders on stage today and there was an intersting dynamic created as we shared time in front of...

OLC Sunday Report (6-8-08)

Posted 2 years, 3 months ago in Oak Leaf
Great morning! Tons of energy. People gave their life to Christ and the sense that something enormous is about to happen is gaining steam. I changed a few things to be less distracted on Sunday and it really paid off as I was able to pay complete attention to my...

OLC Sunday Report (6-01-08)

Posted 2 years, 3 months ago in Oak Leaf
Wrapping up out Summer Reading series this week with a focus on a great book about evangelism called “Just Walk Across the Room.” We asked all of our people to write the names of their one on some blank banners that go in those pop up displays that we can...
