Rich Mullins was an incredible musician that brought us some amazing songs...including 'Awesome God' for one. 'I Could Sing of Your Love Forever', and also 'Oh Lord, You're Beautiful'.

He passed away in 1997 in a terrible car wreck but he wasn't alone in the jeep that wrecked. With him, was another very talented musician by the name of Mitch McVicker - who himself, was severely injured in the wreck on their way to a benefit concert.

Dove Award Winning artist Mitch has an amazing testimony and story-tells as he leads into each song - playing and singing with his loop machine as a back track for his Guitar, Banjo, and more. He's super fun to watch and the music is great!

So HEY...my friend Mitch is coming HERE to Newark and I'd love to fill the house to see him play!

You will NOT be disappointed!!!

The concert is FREE and we're simply asking for a Love Offering to help cover gas and expenses for his current tour as he makes US - just one of his many stops along the way. Bringing his amazing talent to our little church is such a blessing and I'm so excited to share this event with you all!!

This happens to fall on our Taco Tuesday night so if you need a Meal before the concert...plan on coming a little early for some Tacos (starting at 5p - also by donation - to support our non profit program we run here called Healing Our Warriors ). Feel free to Copy and Share this message and flyer to anyone you know who might be interested. And let us know you're coming!!

Took my daughters and son-in-law out to lunch today. Virgin Strawberry Daiquiries all around at our local Olive Garden.

It was great to sit down with them all and fellowship. Learned more about 'real' olives, the Sahara not only being just a desert, and shared in discussion about generational behavior and what we hope for - for the future.

Before even going in tho...my oldest handed me this HUGE kohlrabi SHE grew and a beautiful little Tapestry she made me for my birthday. First thing coming out from her precious lips was basically downplaying the beauty of this gift and insinuating how it wasn't very good, but she tried, etc.

Oh honey... I'm hanging it on my wall - and it's amazing!!!

We do this too often... decide and declare that we're not good enough. We do it so much that we don't even realize we do it. And our children are listening, and watching, and picking up on it - and deciding and declaring these things for themselves too! Breaking this cycle is hard! And we CAN do it!

It's taken me 50 years to figure this out and I'm trying to reverse these lies I've been telling myself for so long and what my girls have unfortunately gleaned from me while growing up.

The next generation will be better... because we are going to keep fighting to make it so!!!

Changing our mindset, changing our languaging... changes our lives,
Changing the future!!!

People ask...what do you do at Healing Our Warriors? Well...it's really complicated to put what we do on paper or explain fully in a website.

We help people help themselves by explaining where some of our ways of thinking come from and how to simply change our perspectives to a new way of BE-ing. Simply discovering who we really are - underneath the pain and shame that life has thrown at us causing us to hide behind masks and walls!

We do this in a one FULL day - incorporating music, art, games, and horses! We feed you lunch and dinner... and we do it all for FREE because we understand it best - having been through a lot of it ourselves!

If you, or someone you know, is struggling with Anxiety, Panic, Depression, PTS(D), Excessive Stress, and/or Suicidal Ideation (thoughts) and you don't know what to do about it... let us show you H.O.W. (Healing Our Warriors)

This is open to active Military, Veterans, First Responders, Family/Friends of any of those, AND anyone that finds themselves struggling!!

We can help... because we understand! Peer-led and trauma informed. You never have to do this alone!!!

We have openings as soon as April 23rd!

Apply now at

A good Sunrise is always healing! Reminder of a new beginning. A new start. A freshness. Life can definitely have its ups and downs. No one is immune from struggle, pain, or heartache. Sometimes it feels like we're the only ones that suffer... but we're not.

You never have to feel alone! Because you're not. There are others of us who understand. Who've been there. Who get it. Who knows!

Breathe my friend and just keep moving forward even if it's only an inch a day. THAT'S progress. I'm here with you. Standing a little before you to coax you forward. Standing a little behind you to push a little if needed. Standing above you to pick you up. Standing beneath you to lift you. But always beside you to reaasure you that you are NOT alone!

I love you! It's going to be a GREAT day!!!
