Last September, I accepted the role of Director of Men’s Ministry at my church conditioned on a “self-imposed” three-year term limit, during which my strategic focus would be to identify, develop and mentor my replacement; hopefully someone half my age!

In the past three months, I’ve become a grandfather (twice!), celebrated my 61st birthday, and taken on the role of Director of Men’s Ministries at my church.

This past Saturday, I attended the 2019 No Regrets Men’s Conference – an annual event sponsored by Elmbrook Church near Milwaukee and broadcast to 120+ Host Sites in the U.S. and Canada. I was one of 10,000 men coming together with the shared desire of becoming better servant leaders at home, in church, on the [...]
2018 is one of those “milestone” birthdays for me and for many others born in 1958. By the grace of God, I have arrived at the age of 60! Not long ago, I was graduating from college, meeting my wife, sitting for the CPA exam, and starting my career. Back then, 40 was considered “old.” [...]
