Your Momma . . .

Christian Living, Pastors' BlogBy Don FilcekMay 8, 2014Leave a comment

This Sunday is Mother’s Day. But depending on when you are reading this, it may already be too late. Nothing brings out my non-traditional side quite like these “Hallmark Holidays”. I confess that I always wrestle with what to do as a pastor on days like these. I believe that motherhood is an amazing and…

Your Candidate’s Name Isn’t In the Bible

Christian Living, Pastors' Blog, Personal, WorldviewBy Don FilcekOctober 8, 2020Leave a comment

If I had a dollar for every time I read or heard the phrase, “I just don’t know how a Christians could vote for _________” I would be able to go to Disney and maybe even take my family with me.  But at the risk of entering into a political discussion as a pastor, I…

You Were Made for so Much More . . .

Christian Living, Pastors' Blog, Uncategorized, WorldviewBy Don FilcekJune 19, 2014Leave a comment

I have recently noticed a trend that is probably not very recent. I am often behind the times just enough that I am just realizing something is cool, right about the time it is totally on the way out. Know what I’m saying, my peeps? But to the point, I have heard a lot of…

You Can Do It!

Church, Pastors' Blog, PersonalBy Don FilcekMay 30, 20131 Comment

I love big cities! There is something about the hustle and bustle of city life that energizes me. I attended a conference for Pastors in Chicago this past week, and if I am honest, I was more excited about being in Chicago than I was about attending the conference. But God met me on His…

Year End Reading Summary

Pastors' Blog, PersonalBy Don FilcekDecember 28, 20121 Comment

At the end of every year I am making it tradition to share my reading list from the previous year and give a brief summary. This year I have read more fiction than ever in my life and I think that has been impacted by my use of the Kindle app on my iPad. For…

Christian Living, Pastors' Blog, PersonalBy Don FilcekJanuary 7, 2016Leave a comment

  This past year was a good year for reading for me. I enjoy reading and have started listening to audio books while I run or work out. For those of you familiar with strengths finder I have input, ideation and learner in my top five strengths meaning that I spend a lot of time…

Wrapping Up Romans

Church, Pastors' Blog, PersonalBy Don FilcekMarch 5, 2020Leave a comment

This week will be my 42nd and final sermon in the book of Romans.  I have been committed to preaching through books of the Bible since I began my role as the church-planter and lead pastor of ReCAST Church over 10 years ago.  Since the start, we have been through the books of Genesis, Joshua,…

Worship in Real Life

Pastors' Blog, WorldviewBy Don FilcekFebruary 9, 20121 Comment

When do you worship God? Where do you worship? How do you worship Him? I fear that for many the answers would look the same . . . Sunday at church by singing. But worship is so much more than singing songs . . . and God has placed us here on this earth with…

Working in a Broken World

Christian Living, Church, Pastors' Blog, WorldviewBy Don FilcekJuly 9, 2015Leave a comment

I have been reading a lot in preparation for my new sermon series “The Rest of the Week”.  I am attempting to encourage the dignity of everyday work through the teaching of Scripture.  It has been pretty rare in my experience to have the church talk about the work that takes up the majority of…

Words of Life and Joy!!

Pastors' BlogBy Don FilcekJune 30, 2011Leave a comment

I recently spoke with someone who had a bad experience with church as a child. Now everything was strange back int he 80’s so I cut this pastor all kinds of slack on this one, but apparently this pastor made mention of the dangers of Transformers cartoons and toys because the face that symbolized the…

Wisdom for Fools

Christian Living, Pastors' BlogBy Don FilcekJune 26, 2014Leave a comment

I am reading through the book of Proverbs in the mornings right now. It is part of a Bible reading plan that will take me through the Bible in a year. If you open to a random page in the book of Proverbs there is a good chance that you will find the word “fool”…

Why Membership?

Church, Pastors' Blog, PersonalBy Don FilcekOctober 31, 2019Leave a comment

Ten years ago when ReCAST church was just a baby church, we started with a pretty low view of membership.  In my idealistic and poorly informed view of church membership, I brashly stated to many people that church membership is not something that we see in the Bible.  And so it was de-emphasized for the…
