Location: Long Island, New York, United States

I'm the lead pastor of a great and very unconventional church - Church At The Movies, with campuses in Ronkonkoma and Mastic, NY - and I love doing what I do. We have hundreds of fellow radicals in our congregations who, like me, are committed to doing church for the unchurched. Totally apart from my church involvement, I work a few hours a week as a Weight Loss Consultant for Weight Watchers, which I thoroughly enjoy.

THREE AMAZING WEEKENDS

I live for Sundays. It's the main door that folks use to become a part of Grace Church and more importantly, of the family of God. There's a build-up each week as I wait to see what God will do.

So I am really pumped about the next three weekends -

1. Next Sunday, April 2nd
It's the finale of our Mad Money series and we're going to end it with a bang. We're going to do something I have never done in almost 36 years of pastoring. It will stretch some people, annoy the heck out of others, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!

2. Palm Sunday, April 9th
This is our Celebration Sunday, which will have two main components. First of all we're going to be celebrating with eleven people who will be baptized during the morning service. Then we'll be remembering what Jesus has done for us by celebrating communion together. You will hardly believe some of the stories you'll hear from those who are going to be baptized. They really are living miracles.

3. Easter Sunday, April 16th
It's the church's Superbowl Sunday! We're gearing up for a great crowd this Easter and will be offering three simultaneous services. There's a special Easter Promiseland program for kids from Pre-K through 6th Grade, plus the long-awaited return of our alternative service, Altered. In our main venue we'll be kicking off a whole new series on parenting, You Must Be Kidding.

There's a crazy three weeks ahead. I love this stuff!
