A THANK YOU NOTE
SEVEN SAN DIEGO TEAM MEMBERS…THANK YOU!!!! When I began this journey of dreaming to launch a church that would reach people for Jesus Christ I thought it would truly take a miracle to raise enough funds to make a go of the dream. I asked God for the miracle of bringing people who would faithfully […] Read More
Back From Israel
Israel was awesome. I went to study the land, walk where Jesus walked and all that good stuff. I went in with simple expectations. I expected to learn, to breath in deep the Holy Land, to experience the places I’ve talked about from the stage. To walk through the Bible literally. All of that was […] Read More
I’M IN ISRAEL
Just enough time to write quickly. Israel has been incredible. Lots to tell you when I get back. I must be quick because the internet connection here at our hotel on the Sea of Galilee is sketchy at best. Today we visited Jesus’ headquarters for ministry : Capernaum. Wow, what an experience. We sat on […] Read More
86 Baptisms
Wow! What a night. As I prepare to leave for Israel this Friday we were really thrilled to see 86 people take the step of faith to be baptized at Seven on Sunday night. www.seven.ws. I can’t explain the rush we felt as we offered anyone who said yes to Jesus as their one and […] Read More
Getting Ready for the Pilgrimage to Israel
I’m a little under two weeks away from going to Israel. I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time. Everyone I’ve talked to that has been to Israel has talked about it being lifechanging. I’m not looking for that type of an experience although I’m sure at some level it will be lifechanging. […] Read More
Garage Sellin’
Our first garage sale before we move to San Diego was a success. I got totally into it. I was pulling out stuff from the backyard, the guest bathroom, the neighbor’s yard, if you could see it I would sell it. We really cleared out a lot of stuff. We know we’re going to be […] Read More

Seven San Diego Prospective Sites
I’m in San Diego this week looking at prospective sites for our church launch and talking with numerous pastors and church planters here in San Diego. Trying to learn all I can about what others have done that went well and what others have done that didn’t work out so well. I am also adding […] Read More
Seven San Diego Begins
I am absolutely fired up about your response to the vision I shared last Sunday night. The Seven San Diego train continues to gain steam. Over 155 people filled out the communication card wanting to be a part in one way or another and over 77 families have said they are interested in moving to […] Read More
The Vision
I’m excited to share with all of you the journey God has been leading me on lately. What else can I say but when God calls… you listen, that’s it. It makes no sense to ignore His call. So, He has clearly said, it’s not about your comfort or your position or any of the […] Read More
Partying Pastors and Spring Training
Nothing like the National Pastor’s Convention to bring the party animal out of 3,000 pastors! Man, we had like crazy times. Free coffee in the morning from 7:30-9:30, yay free! Spontaneous prayer in the hallways, people fellowshipping late into the evening sharing war stories, swimming in the heated hotel pool, swimming in February can you […] Read More
Bloggin’ Journey
I’m ramped up, I’m ready to go, the weekly bloggin’ journey has begun. I’ve been doing the monthly thing for a while to see if I’ll even desire to blog on a consistent basis. I usually journal handwritten notes but exposing my thoughts and feelings to the world can be a bit intimidating. However, I […] Read More
The Stirring
The Stirring comes at various hours and in various stages. Sometimes I wait for the stirring and it’s not there. I hope for the stirring and I’m let down. When The Stirring is not there it forces me to be patient, to wait for God’s timing, to rest in His sovereignty, knowing He’s in control, […] Read More

Weekend at Rudy’s
Jeremy McGarityWhat a weekend. We went to Notre Dame, I met Rudy! That’s right Rudy himself. It was great, just great. If you haven’t seen the movie, go rent it right now, it’s simply titled “Rudy”…you’ll be a fan in no time. Well, The Irish won the game easily 35-21 over the Purdue Boilermakers and […] Read More
Football Season
This is a great time of year. Although I really love the summer, the fall has it’s ups too. I love the fact that baseball season is peaking (and the Padres are in the title hunt) the Chargers have started 2-0 thumping both the hated Raiders and the Tiny Titans, and the Notre Dame Fighting […] Read More
My Summer Vacation, Mt. Hermon…The Good Life
My Summer Vacation started and we Just got back from a week at Mt. Hermon in Santa Cruz. They call the area “The Coastal Redwoods.” That’s our cabin…What is it about getting away that refreshes the spirit? It took me about a day and a half and then it hit me…total relaxation… My state of […] Read More
Too Much Golf
I never thought I’d say these words…I’m golfed out. Just played 5 rounds in 3 days and it’s too much. Now, I love golf…love it…but after some 400 strokes in 3 days my body (and my score) reminded me that I don’t get paid to play golf. It was a really good time connecting with […] Read More
Ministry Lessons
We’re all Different: The more I’m in ministry the more I realize WE’RE ALL DIFFERENT. When it comes to styles, preferences, messages, music, atmosphere, etc. everybody has their own preferences. I believe the Message must stay the same but the Methods in how we communicate that message MUST change. Have you ever noticed that God […] Read More
