Fly Fishing Nor Cal
I specialize in fly fishing from a drift boat on the Lower Sacramento or wading the Upper Sacramento RiverNorthern California has some of the best fly fishing in the United States without the crowds that many of the rivers in Montana, Colorado, and Alaska attract. With year-round fisheries for trout, steelhead, striper, and more, it’s hard to imagine a better location for those who love fly fishing!

Characteristics of the Come & Coming Kingdom

The Molt on the Cross
It's Good Friday... and Sunday is coming. I've long somewhat "struggled" with Good Friday because I've observed that many of our services tend to imply that we should pretend that the Resurrection hasn't happened. And I get it. We're trying to make much of the cross...
Small Town Missiological Contextualization…

Dr. Allan Anderson writes, "Pentecostalism is above all else a missionary movement— this premise enables us to understand the primary motivation for its global expansion throughout the twentieth century. Global Pentecostalism began as a restorationist or...
