Thank You and See you Soon!

Rachel and I will be moving to Seattle soon! With this new beginning we want to embrace the change by focusing more on a joint blog. We feel that it would allow for both of us to write more and keep us in a shared experience. So thank you all for reading my rants, mostly in the beginning, and a few drifters over the past year or two. But please join us for the next part of our life over on our joint blog


May God bless you
Cheers,
Matt

What does it look like to rest?

Practicing a rhythm of rest is what we are trying to work through as a church community at Vox right now. I am excited for the conversations that Rachel and I will have about what that might look like in our lives and marriage. It will be important for us to be able to practice because the next few months are going to be pretty busy, or atleast have the potential to be. I havn't written a post about it yet but we are moving to Seattle towards the end of the summer and naturally moving and logistics involve a good bit of busy-ness, but we hope to not let it overwhelm and or overwork us. But we are extremely excited for the challenge and adventure ahead of us in the great Pacific Northwest! More to come on that later as well as an update about our learns involving rest.

Practice makes perfect

Writing is something you have to practice. This is something that I understand but have yet to put it to practice consistently. With this, as I have said with previous posts, I hope to start creating the habit. Discipline here I come!

Living Lives of Influence

Last week at Vox Veniae I was privileged to be able to speak/preach/teach during liturgy. The scripture was Matthew 5:13-16. Here is a link to the podcast. It was an awesome and very challenging process to craft the sermon. Hopefully I will have more opportunities to help serve in this way again.
