Where in the World is Pastor Steve?

Spring Lake Park

It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve updated my blog and people have been asking, “Where’ve you been?” In answer, I’ve been wringing the most out of the final days of summer.

First Exposure to the Boundary Waters

I took my first trip into the Boundary Waters with a group of EBC staff. It was amazing. To experience God’s creation without the many conveniences we’re all accustomed to was a highlight of my summer.

Enjoying God's Creation

Jumping Out of an Airplane

I also experienced the thrill of skydiving. I’ve always wanted to jump out of a plane at 13,000 feet and I discovered why when I informed my dad of my plans. He said, “It doesn’t surprise me. You’ve been jumping off of things from the time you learned to walk. As a matter of fact, when you were a toddler you had to get stitches in your head because you jumped off the couch and slammed into the coffee table.” Would I skydive again? Absolutely.

What a Blast

LifeChurch.tv

EBC’s three campus pastors had an opportunity to experience a behind-the-scenes tour of LifeChurch.tv in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The trip provided great insight as Eagle Brook makes plans to add more campuses in the near future. LifeChurch.tv has 13 campuses across the United States in addition to one internet campus. About 29,000 people attended their 13 campuses while we were there last weekend.
