the life of a renaissance pastor
I installed a new theme for all you RSSer’s. Come on by and check it out!
I got the idea from my good friend Vince, who just installed a new theme the other day. I totally got this theme from the same place he got his. Thanks Vinnie.
Today we had a little directional meeting to get our worship leaders on the same page, and to re-introduce them to each other. Everyone’s been busy doing their own things in their own churches, so it was great to hear what God is doing through the eyes of other leaders, and just hang out as [...]
Some of you may already know Karl. He’s the Music Director at LifeChurch, and a good friend. That’s a picture of him going “wireless” at one of our staff meetings on a 5 year old laptop, “splendid”, as he would say. Anywho, he wrote some very nice things the other day on this post, and [...]
Yeah so I’m name dropping, so what? I was cruisin around the web tonight and ran into Rocco again via Myspace (ew). I check my myspace like once every two months. I just thought I’d share a little trivia here on the blog tonight. I went to Lake Elsinore High School for the last two [...]
Just an update on two families that we have the opportunity to (continue to) pray for.
The Joy’s. Wade, Ferris, and their two twin girls, Adleigh & Liana. Quick version: these twins were born prematurely and have some serious health issues. Read more here.
Wade & his wife both have specific prayer requests. And here’s a powerful [...]
Yup the ol blog is back online. In case you missed it, it was down from about midnight last night until about 8am this morning.
The problem? I upgraded to the latest Wordpress release. And I followed directions too!
The culprit? A bad plugin.
The solution? deleted!
Thank You’s, Shout Out’s, Wup-Wup’s go out to: James, Will, & Pete [...]
Yup, that’s Steve, Me, Bobby & Matt. We had a blast! It was so much fun! I even pinched Bobby, and tried to clobber Matt. I think Bobby’s a little scared of my coke from Malaysia. Can’t wait till next year!
Ever have one of those days where you know you have to do something that you don’t really want to do and the stress builds and your stomach is in knots and you have a raging headache? That was today. We had our doctors appointment at San Diego Children’s Hospital to discuss the results of [...]
He’s an old blogging pal. And I’ve learned a lot from him. In fact I wrote a post entitled, “Thank You Pete” over a year ago (poked a little fun at him here). Spent a little time over at his blog today and found two more very cool things:
twitter counter - what a cool little [...]

Church on the USS Germantown:
Well it’s Sunday morning, and for the first time in at least a year, I slept in. I wanted to go to the “Protestant Service” here on the ship, but it didn’t happen. Right now I am used to being busy making sure church is going off [...]
My name is Alex McLean and I am currently the executive pastor at LifeChurch in the Temecula Valley of Southern California. IÕve been a youth pastor and worship leader, as well as a media/communications pastor so I am into all kinds of things creative. At the core, I am just a guy who is trying to live right, and live life - not let it happen. I try and stay open & teachable, humble if I can say that. ThatÕs really one of the reasons I blog, is to share my experiences in life and learn from others. God has blessed me with more than I deserve and IÕm so thankful for that. A beautiful wife and two incredible children. More friends and family than you can shake a stick at and just an amazing life that I am allowed to enjoy and or struggle with every day.
