What does an average week look like for you at Lakeview?
A major portion of my week consists of me trying to take care of administrative details. I coordinate stuff (I counted that I send an average of 118 e-mails a week), there are meetings to be had, small group studies to write, projects to work on, books to read, people to hang with, and so on…

What is your favorite thing about your ministry?
I love trying to develop tools at Lakeview that will help people know God better (as well as help us connect with each other) from small groups, to journey courses, to whatever training or event we can have.

If you had a day to do absolutely anything you wanted, what would that be?
After waking up I would sit on my front porch in the sunshine drinking coffee and chat with God. Then I would have brunch with good friends—and there would be really interesting and challenging conversation, as well as lots of laughter. Then I would go hiking in the Black Forest region of Germany where I used to live and visit my favorite castle ruins. My perfect day would end with Saturday Night Barbeque (a Holiday family tradition enacted for more than 17 years).
