... SERIOUSLY, HEAR ME OUT FOR JUST A MINUTE.

Thank you for taking the time to come and check out my page.  Whether you have stumbled upon it by accident, or someone pointed you my way, welcome.  I hope you are blessed by what you find, and that it draws you closer to our Great God.  Because that is what Faith is all about, our relationship with the Creator, friendship with the Son, and living in the Spirit's presence and power, right?  So, why do most of us do that only on Sundays?  Or limit it to specific times and events throughout the week or month?  What if we took the words of Jesus at face value (John 15), the idea of continually dwelling in His awesome presence every moment of every day?  What if we truly learned how to abide in Him and realized He was doing the same?  What if instead of seeking after ritual and tradition we sought true, deep discipleship, we sought a friendship with Christ that could radically form us into who He created us to be?  What if "church" came to mean more than what we have often limited it to mean?  What if...

ABOUT ME

Alright, I'll be honest... I'm terrible at writing things about myself because I'm never sure what to say.  Do you really want to know more about me?  I guess you do if you are still reading this, so I may as well start with the basics.  You probably already know my name is Norm.  My wife and I, along with our 4 kids recently relocated back to the Pacific NW and live in the Seattle area.  I grew up in the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod but somehow found my way into the Christian Reform Church of North America.  I felt a call from God to serve His Church more than 15 years ago.  I am a graduate of both Fuller Theological and Calvin Seminaries.  After graduating from Calvin in 2018 my family and I moved to a small farming town in North Central Iowa and served a small rural church in Austinville, IA.  After enduring 2020 we began to feel God calling us back to Seattle and the desire to plant a church, a church that explored those "what ifs" I mentioned above. This site is a work in progress and will eventually contain a mix of audio, video and random blogs I will use as part of this exploration, as well as some stuff I've complied over the years (links to those found at the bottom of the page).  I hope you enjoy what you find!
