Homestead

June 2007 marked the beginning of 2yrs that would impact my life forever and inspire the greatest journey ever. In 2007 Reina and I departed Chicago and went to the furthest city we could go before hitting the The Keys, Homestead FL! I stepped into a role at Life Pointe Church that would change my life forever. I knew I would be working as the creative arts director and Worship guy…But what I discovered goes beyond what I would’ve ever expected. It was truly an honor to work beside Lead pastor Travis Johnson. I gotta say he was one tough dude to work for, but the best boss I’ve ever had. I was challenged beyond the talents I brought to the plate. I learned what it was to lead and not just be. I learned it wasn’t about just  doing, but developing others to lead and do. Letting go in order to grow. In 2 yrs I think I read more then I ever had in my whole life. I was pushed and was given the freedom to fly on my own and fall on my face from time to time. My passion for people grew more then ever…I think because I met some really cool people in Homestead Fl, who took us in and made us feel like family. Because of those two yrs I grew as a person, as a dreamer, as a husband, as a father and as a friend. I learned the good and bad of me. I dropped the ball many of times, but learned lessons I will carry with me till the day I die. LPC and Homestead will forever be in our hearts as 2 of the greatest yrs of our lives. The moment I will never forget is the day Travis challenged me to give away my music for a bigger cause. That cause took my band across the globe and did things I never thought would be possible.

Thank you for 2yrs that marked my life and the life of my wife and kids for a lifetime! It was an awesome season. Cheers!

From the Stage…

-Arrived at 7:15a

-God answered my prayers. I had two monitors on stage, I could hear myself. Travis turned them off during first service, and I forget to re-connect them…Either way today sounded great.

-I met Robert today, an amazing young guitarist. He goes by the name “epic”. He should be jamming with us soon.

-We had a full crew today. It sounded so rich today and Full of energy. I really enjoy Phil on bass. I think we’re building a a great rock’n chemistry. I just hope his work schedule changes. Hey someone give this guy a Mon-Friday gig!!!! lol. Rebecca has done amazing on keys! Alex is getting better on guitar, and Ritz is definitely improving the on the drums. I love sharing the stage with my amazing wife!

-Video was funny this morning, I will have it on youtube tomorrow.

-I gave Paul my best introduction as he took the stage, hey why not he does a great job right?, but he threw me under the bus by calling me “a midget Carlos Santana trying to sound like Bono.” Ouch!”. I see COG over seer written all over that man!!

-Both services were rock’n. The crew has been totally stepping up. We can’t get to the next level doing what got us here! You’ve taken that to heart and to action.

Travis called our saviour JeZeus?

-Travis threw down on the Funk in Anxiety. Listen to it here. I guess some of the exec rubbed off on him to. He threw mi little bro under a different bus.

-The youth are getting ready for camp. For some youth this experience will change their life forever…glad to be part of it.

-All in all it was a great Sunday. You gotta dream big and go for it! People like us have no home, just like Jesus. God takes us from glory to glory, when we least expect it. BOOYAH!

-Big things are coming people…big things…
