Staying the Course
I am a very sound sleeper. I rarely remember any dreams I have during the night, but a few months ago I had one of those dreams that stuck with me. As we walked down a long hallway (much like the corridor from my high school days with lockers on both sides), the leaders from […]
Defining Great Leadership
Some things I’ve been reading about great leadership: Great leaders bless people. They inspire and encourage. Great leaders are distinguished as great because of the positive impact they have on the people they lead. In fact, they leave people better off than they were before the leader entered into their lives. Great leadership is important […]
Paying Closer Attention
I began to notice him about a year ago on my way to the church every morning. Wearing shorts and a hat, he walked the same route day after day. As the months passed by, he recognized my car and we began to exchange waves on a regular basis. I didn’t know anything about him […]

One Church. Three Locations.
Sunday night was a ‘first’ in the history of LifeQuest Church. At 6 pm, there not only a LifeQuest worship experience happening in Parkville. For the past few months, a core team has been connecting with people and building relationships while serving the community of Pleasant Hill. So it was a night of celebration as […]
Mountaintop Moments
30 people were baptized yesterday as a large crowd of people gathered outside of LifeQuest Church to celebrate lives that had been changed because of Jesus. All of them different ages, all from different backgrounds, and all with individual stories of how God has lead them on their faith journey. These are the moments that […]
Leadership Junkie
I admit it – I am a leadership junkie! Whenever I have a moment to sit down with a book, I gravitate toward a book about leadership. I love learning about how to better lead others. Some might argue that they aren’t leaders, but the truth is we are ALL leading someone because leadership is […]
Planting in Pleasant Hill
One of the values of LifeQuest Church is planting seeds of the gospel not just in our own neighborhoods but throughout Kansas City and around the world. Seeds are planted behind the scenes. Hours of canvassing and conversations go into launching a church. That’s what’s been happening in Pleasant Hill as a team of people […]
Homeless in Winter
A couple of weeks ago after church I was able to pray with someone who was going through some pretty tough struggles. As I spent time in conversation, I learned she didn’t have a job and was living out of her car. It’s easy to say the words, “God will work everything out,” (and I […]
LifeQuest Staff
Spent 9 hours today sitting around the table with our church staff. We evaluated, planned and dreamed about what God has in store for LifeQuest Church in 2011. Every week this group of people spends hours preparing for the weekend worship experience, following up with guests, volunteers, life groups and more. Under the leadership of […]
