    Some Assembly Required

    What a couple of weeks it has been. ICYMI, I'm now a dad of a second beautiful baby girl. I'm also exhausted, but that comes with the territory. I appreciate your grace and understanding during the past four weeks of my paternity leave. As I find my way back into the natural swing of things, I'm discovering that there will be a need for some adjustments in the weeks to come. You may or may not notice some of these changes, but it's still reasonably needed. We will be putting

    You're Missing the Point of Evangelism & the Parable of the Lost Magikarp

    If you’re seeing this, it’s because I’m now a Dad of 2! And that means I’m already sleep deprived to the point that you wouldn’t want to see me right now - so we’re taking some old blogs from back at the very beginning of Checkpoint before these nerdy sermons even existed. We’re remastering them and making them for you to enjoy probably for the first time - since those blogs have been read like, 8 times. All this is to say that, if these feel different than normal, it’s becau

    A Shot In The Dark

    This is it - our final paternity newsletter. And this one is a bit of a gamble to write, but I have faith that God will help me out and this one will work out fine. Whenever I first started the process of prepping for this leave, I brought it to our LVL2 members. I had one member express genuine concern about the huge gap in time. There was fear that our inertia we had built up over two years would fizzle under the weight of the absence. I told them that I believed that would

    What Tangled Webs We Weave

    Alright - we're two weeks into our paternity leave. Hopefully you aren't missing me as bad as I'm missing y'all. Well, I might be missing y'all right now - or I might be asleep. Odds are fairly even there. Thanks to the wonders of the Internet, you haven't missed out too greatly on our nerdy sermons each week, since we've still posted from our backlog. You also have gotten this pre-written newsletters. I'm also confident that our wonderful folks on our Discord have kept up th

    What's Better Than A Watch Party?

    Whenever all is said and done with my paternity leave, we aren't wasting any time getting back up and running with the exciting things going on here at Checkpoint. Out of all our big plans for the remainder of the year, I am most excited to tell you about our newest one. Starting on May 23rd, Checkpoint Church is taking our next HUGE deep dive into intentional acts of discipleship. We've posted our weekly nerdy sermons for well over a year now. You've been able to watch them
