The Casper Star-Tribune: “CEDAR CITY, Utah (AP) – With millions of the faithful around the world listening to broadcasts of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ General Conference in October, church Apostle M. Russell Ballard preached forcefully about Satan’s threat to families and warned of the ”pernicious evil” of the entertainment media.

Meanwhile, 225 miles to the south of the church’s Salt Lake City headquarters, a Cedar City radio station airing conference coverage on a 24-second delay froze up just as Ballard reached the word ”sex” in his sermon.

For 24 seconds, the electronically stalled Ballard said: ”Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex ….””

Growing up in the Lansing area, I wanted nothing more than to get out. My exit strategy included a complex mixture of schemes for an urban church plant, iProducts, and an elaborate Bollywood car chase scene with zombies and catchy techno music.

As a 40 year old man, I find myself entrenched in the Lansing area at a church I love (Riverview), with 4 kids I love more (a high schooler, a junior higher, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and a wife I love the most (Grace).

Instead of planting one church, I dream of helping hundreds get started without ever leaving my home base. I still love my iProducts and use them as tools to help lead and teach the thousands who attend Riverview. And when no one is looking, I blare the techno music and send my unimpressive resume to casting agents for Bollywood zombie films.
