There have been several people who have had great influence in my walk with Christ. Perhaps the person who had the greatest influence was the man who took me under his wing when I was a mere baby Christian: Pastor Mike Quinn.
After moving to San Diego in 1997, I visited Canyon View Christian Fellowship in Tierrasanta on a Saturday evening my very first weekend in SoCal. It was a small church (about 130 people or so) that rented a Baptist Church for the venue. Over the next two years, Pastor Mike mentored me, modeled for me what the Christian walk should look like and gave me chances to explore leadership in ministry as I served on staff at the church. During this journey, Carrie and I met and got married while being a part of this church family.
Since then, God has blessed Canyon View Christian Fellowship tremendously, and today, it's known as Newbreak with multiple campuses and thousands of people all over San Diego County. Pastor Mike has been recognized as a leader within the Assemblies of God and by all sorts of churches around SoCal.
Today I stumbled across the video that Pastor Mike has shared with Church Leaders on the topic of sermon prep. For me, it's neat seeing Pastor Mike and Newbreak, knowing the whole story and knowing that I was a part of the story. Enjoy a look into the life of Newbreak's sermon prep.
