Here in the United States we are celebrating our Labor Day holiday weekend. Labor Day is traditionally thought of as the last hurrah of the summer before the children go back to school and we begin to turn our hearts, thoughts and actions toward the fall season and even in anticipation of the holiday season right around the corner. Thinking about Labor Day got me thinking about this question... Does our work matter to God?

A message of encouragment that the Bride of Christ is the Epic Love Story. How in partnership with her groom Jesus the church can and will reach the whole world with the good news of true freedom.

A message of hope right now! So many people I have talked to have expressed how low they feel and how hopeless things seem right now all over the world.

Trapped while surfing... Kevin has an amazing story of being rescued off the cliffs of Cannon Beach, Oregon. He has also learned that just because one is “Born Again” and a follower of Jesus, that is no guarantee that life will be calm seas. You will be encouraged.

On July 31st I shared on the air about my upcoming mission to Tanzania and Thailand

Part two of my sermon itchy ears which was given at the Seguku Worship Center in Uganda, Africa. I was very sick at the time this message was given. My voice was very scratchy and I was not well but I was determined to give this message.

At the invitation of Pastor Steven Mayanja lead pastor of Seguku Worship Center in Uganda, AfricaI had the privilege of giving the Sunday sermon at At his wonderful church. It was a tremendous privilege to stand in that spot to give the word of God to these wonderful people in a church which has to date planted 140 churches through their parent ministry Uganda Christian outreach all over East Africa. I spoke at three services this one was the all english gathering, following my time of ministry in Uganda and Tanzania teaching bush pastors and serving in the local outreach crusades.

Pastor Philip is a burmese pastor whom I had the privilege of serving with while I was in the country of Myanmar twice. He is a incredible man of God, he is full of passion and he is the hardest working man I know. Pastor Philip is the founder of Yangon Grace Bible Fellowship and Yangon Grace Bible School as well as AIM Active In Mission Today.

I thought it would be fun to just muse a bit about our liberty and freedom. I ask the Garden Samurai, John Knoernschild and Vernon Weise, Host of The Rose City Forum to join me in studio to talk about this great nation we call home. One has to wonder if in this grand 238 year old (so far) experiment in history known as the U.S.A. really has become a model for exceptionalisum? Or, if we are just a flash in world history doomed to be nothing more than a turn of a page in some history book 1000 years from now?

This month the world lost a great man... and heaven gained a new eternal citizen. The Impact Community wishes to dedicate the entirety of todays broadcast in tribute to my dear friend and ministry colleague, The Late Pastor Blaine Yeager who went home to join with his Lord and savior Jesus Christ on June 9th, 2014.
