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.

ONE

Jaimee Saponieri got our marriage series off to a great start this morning by belting out the song At Last - that girl has some voice!

I enjoyed teaching this morning, which was a great relief as the day had not started well. I woke up at 3.00am and did not get back to sleep. There was a ton of negative nonsense going through my mind, the kind of stuff that I identified years ago as being symptomatic of a spiritual battle, but still couldn't shake off.

I arrived at the theater tired and discouraged, but thankfully by the time service started I was in a much better place!

This morning I laid a foundation for the next few weeks by making it clear that two halves don't make a whole, they make a mess. We don't need to find the person who completes us, we need to find Jesus because he alone fills that role to perfection.

A lot of visitors again and a bunch of people back today for a second time.

Our band have got a great song to introduce next week's message - How To Affair-Proof Your Marriage.

And I'll take Tylenol PM Saturday night!!!
