The Greatest Book Ever Written
|
Dear Reader, First of all, thank you so much for coming along with me on the journey to the release of my first book, The Rest of the Man's Show, this year! I love hearing stories of how it is reaching people. I recently ran into a guy I know from the cowork space I work out of downtown. He told me he's not religious, but he loved the book so much that he bought copies for his family as gifts this month. He told me he's curious to see their reaction when they receive this gift from him, since he knows it's out of pocket for him. I love that it's opening faith conversations! However, my book is far from the greatest book ever written. That distinct honor belongs to the Bible (which, to be precise, is a collection of 66 books). And as we approach the new year, I wanted to invite you to join me and others in reading through the entire Bible in 2026, in a way that allows us to share our learnings and ask one another questions. If that sounds interesting, here's what to do:
You are invited, whether you are a Christian or not, and regardless of your church affiliation (or lack thereof). I pray God will bring you joy with some surprising blessings this new year, and that you will take some steps towards positive change and momentum in your life that are transformational for you. Happy New Year! Bill How you can help: |

Dear Reader, I know we are knee deep in the Christmas season, so I will keep this very brief. We continue to have significant momentum as we build and prepare to launch early next year. Here are three quick, important updates: Launch date - Our launch date has been moved one week from 2/22/26 to 3/1/26 to resolve scheduling issues. Launch budget - We are 1/3 of the way towards our $150,000 launch budget goal. We need to order a bulk of our gear very soon to ensure it is on hand and ready for...
Dear Reader, On Monday, I had a conversation with Chris, a core member of our launch team (how we connected is a God story in and of itself). Chris asked, “Was it like this last time?” He wondered if things went like this when we planted a church many years prior in Connecticut. The reason he asked is that we were both marveling at how many things God has been doing and providing to bring One Life Church from vision into reality. After all, Bayside Church had just donated a trailer to us to...
Dear Reader, Believe it or not, I do have plans to write another book, which I look forward to, but that will have to wait until after I complete my current project, launching One Life Church. It has been nearly 2 months since I last sent an update, so I wanted to share some of the great things God has helped us to accomplish since then! We have secured a place to meet for church services! We have a worship leader and a Children's Director! We have been approved by the SBC as a SEND church...
