• Jason Pauli lives in Erie, PA with his wife, 3 sons, and baby girl. He's a pastor at Grace Church where he spends a lot of time with teenagers.

I got a form letter from Ron Luce today in the mail. I’ve only been to one of his Teen Mania events, a promotional banquet dinner thing, years ago. The woman on the phone that invited me said it wasn’t going to be a promotional event but it was anyway. I went for the [...]

Oh Happy Day!

Well we’ve moved up to Erie. It’s official, Diane and I now own land again. Even though I swore we’d never do it again we do. It feels good though.
We packed up in Peters yesterday with some fantastic help. Jimmy, Aaron, John, JD, Luke, Linda, Sarah, I know I’m forgetting [...]
