Life’s demands are relentless. Most of our activities take our energy, motivation, or attention; and some things just plain old suck the life out of us.
Our tanks routinely end up empty. And when they’re empty, things go downhill. We perform poorly, we’re relationally absent, our attention falters, and eventually, we just snap.
It’s up to us to recover what we lose on a regular rhythm.
And that’s the secret: a life of joy and purpose is not about simply performing better in moments of crisis or need. It’s about preparing better before they happen.

Hi, I’m Tommy!
I never had any intention of being in ministry. Jesus found me at 17 and after 6 years figuring out what in the world that meant, Lauren and I packed everything we could into a Honda Civic and drove to Ventura CA for a 9-month residency at Mission Church to see if serving a church might be somewhere in our plans. Eight unexpected and wonderful years later, we were tearing ourselves away from the church we loved with all our hearts to live the next season of our lives alongside family in Tennessee.
We got to Mission just two years after it had been planted, and it was a constant thrill ride as we navigated tectonic shifts growing from a church of 300 to a church of 2,000. After 9 months in Creative Arts and Worship, I transitioned to Groups Director, picked up new guest connections and assimilation soon after, and then assumed pastoral care.
Along the way I was able to go through Activator Training and Leadership Development Training with Intentional Churches, serve as a guest contributor for the Small Group Network blog and podcast, and work alongside Michael and Cathy Dye implementing The Genesis Process.
And I’m Lauren!
My world is church and always has been. The church is my family, and I can see its downfall and its shadow sides. But just as if the church were my sister… I can make fun of her - but if you do, then I’ll defend her to the death.
My grandparents gave their lives to so many in ministry. When I was hospitalized at age 5, those churches sent me cards, gifts and prayers. My parents worked my whole childhood to change the culture of our church from “Insiders Only” to “Come As You Are”. This church taught me to love, sent me around the world, and sent me off to college with an open mindset.
For my Enneagram peeps, I am a 9, wing 8 - that means I’m seeing all sides of every coin and love to mend relationships and build bridges. However, my 8 wing really colors this experience, because for those who threaten the unity or the wholeness, I want to crush. It makes me an aggressive peacemaker. It’s bizarre, but definitely fun!
