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.

WAY TO GO!

This series is proving to be one of the most significant we have done in a while - which is quite something since Just Walk Across The Room and A.S.Q. were tremendously succesful in the opening months of this year.

I guess people appreciate the fact we're talking about stuff that is in their face every day, is a part of all our lives and actually is addressed very clearly in the Bible.

When we started to lay out some of our plans for this year way back in January, I had no idea that this series would get the rave reviews it has done. I knew it would probably tick a few folks off - but that's okay, I've never been averse to taking risks. Yet I did not realize how much hope, help and healing would be ministered into the lives of hurting people. I love it!

At the start of the year we mapped out our teaching schedule into late October and there really are some good things ahead. I love the fact that the Holy Spirit can guide you nine months ahead, which is quite different from the way I was taught many years ago - then it was more of a case of praying for divine inspiration late on a Saturday evening. Thankfully those days are gone, so we can put a lot more into planning and preparation so we are as effective as possible.

Sunday is a major part of our Desperate Sex Lives series as we look at the subject of porn. We'll be taking it a whole lot further than simply stating you shouldn't look at it, because we figure most people are totally aware of that already and if that was all we had to offer, you may as well stay in bed on Sunday.

But as it is, you'd better not miss where we're headed with this.

Hope, help and healing - man, that sounds good.
