Below are a variety of teaching series that came out of our time at Pathway. One of the more interesting aspects to that time was a season when we had a team of people meet to go over creative ways to teach the series. While we didn’t do this with every series, we did it with several.
Here are the friends who contributed to shaping this stuff: Paul BeDell, Kelly BeDell, Jonathan Burg, Rebecca Burg, Benton Cole, Kerstin Erkenrath, Mike Estes, Stephanie Estes, Kellie Mitchell, Pam Priolo, Scott Priolo, Jonathan Ritter, Shelley Ritter, and Holly Zann. (I’m certain I’ve forgotten someone, so feel free to let me know).

Pathway was a church plant located on the NE side of Indianapolis, Indiana. Started in 2004 and closed in 2009, this short and amazing journey was filled with joys, sorrows, victories, and trials. While we were deeply grieved that we had to close the organization of Pathway, we are eternally grateful to the many families that became life long friends who, to this day, walk the path with us to God's best.
Many of the resources on this site were developed during the life of Pathway. Our hope is that these resources will further serve to extend God's Kingdom into the minds and hearts of all that find them useful.
Approach to teaching
With 11 years of pastoral experience, I've had the opportunity to be on the bleeding edge of what God is doing and how He is expanding His Kingdom today. One of those opportunities has been to pastor 2 different churches. When teaching in these contexts I regularly ask, "How do I live this on Tuesday?" I believe every teaching should draw from the authority of Scripture, leverage the wealth of wisdom in church history, while speaking to the circumstances and rhythms of our day.
