Three Quick, Important Updates - Final One of the Year!


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:

  1. Launch date - Our launch date has been moved one week from 2/22/26 to 3/1/26 to resolve scheduling issues.
  2. 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 our first preview service on 1/25/26. If you're considering year-end giving, we'd be thrilled if you'd help us launch by making a tax-deductible contribution here.
  3. Website -It just went live today! Please visit here and take a look through all the pages, and respond with any feedback. If you find any errors, you get a cookie!

Thank you for all the prayers, support, and encouragement. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

Blessings,

Bill

If you'd like to follow that journey, you can always keep up with us here. One thing completely surprised me after The Rest of the Man's Show was released. I expected readers to connect with the message. I didn't expect so many people to tell me they loved the writing itself. Even more encouraging,...

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...

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...
