We were going to get two weeks off after a full summer of support raising, continued house renovations, ministry, and neighborhood involvement. My prayer going into it was that we would be refreshed and refueled to be able to enter into “launch phase” of this church planting endeavor with much energy and enthusiasm.   Our […]

Philippians 3:17–4:1 Talks about the “enemies of the cross” and what drives them… Yes, if you are a true follower of Jesus you will inevitably have enemies. But what does it look like to love those who scripture portrays as enemies of the cross of Christ and the flourishing eternal life God has destined for […]

Where have the Iversons been all summer?!? Three full months, and no words? No blog posts? No adventures to recount? No thoughts or impressions from the Lord? No musings from the Living Word of God? Oh, they have been there. They have been mulled over while scrubbing pots and pans. They have been formulated while […]

I really believe God’s gentle, prompting spirit led me to do Warrior Week. But it might have been for a different purpose than what I thought. No, doubt, God touched the hearts of boys.

“Honey, a dumb kickball game is not one of my priorities right now!

The curtain rod fell down on my head as I balanced on a stool for the tenth time that day, all with hyperactive children running all around me a few feet below. I half caught it and then slammed it down on the stack of boxes below. “I can’t get anything done around here! I […]

We’ve sat in seminars. Visited hotel conference rooms and small group brainstorming sessions. We have been “trained” to be church planters. Don’t get me wrong, these things are good and necessary things, but nothing is quite like the training that trials bring. Since moving to Atlanta, with a vision to plant churches that keep planting […]

**My apologies for the extreme delay in this update…I’ve been very busy…busy cleaning up potty accidents, and putting out sibling rivalry fires, and cleaning more dishes and doing more laundry than one can keep track of. I wish I had something “more significant” as an excuse, but every load of laundry is a Kingdom investment […]
