Enough with Enough
When it comes to ministry I have never understood the concept of enough. I know my critics will say that I care too much about numbers or how big my ministry is but the simple fact of the matter is how much IS enough? When are you capped off? When do you reach the pointContinue reading “Enough with Enough”

Systems and Staffing
Listening to a teaching from Andy Stanley recently and evaluating not only the size of our ministry but the overall health of the ministry and its leaders I felt compelled to restructure some of the way we do things here. No grand changes really, the bulk of folk won’t even initially realize a shift. EveryContinue reading “Systems and Staffing”
Culture
No offense to Walt Mueller but I am sick of the word culture. It has become the most overused word in church vernacular since relevant. I am sick of how some use the word as a diseased amoeba that we must protect ourselves from. I am sick of how it is used as a convenient way toContinue reading “Culture”

Nancy Webster is my ministry assistant and as I am typing this out she isContinue reading “The Ministry of Assistants”

Psalm 100:1-2 On your feet now—applaud God! Bring a gift of laughter, sing yourselves into his presence. I love to laugh. It is my favorite thing to do. I love to make other people laugh. I remember early in my ministry, trying to find “my voice”, trying to find the style that God would give me toContinue reading “Bring a gift of laughter”
Happy birthday baby…I love you
Today is my wife’s birthday. She was gone for a week with my girls for spring break to visit her mother and it was torturous. I have learned that my life doesn’t work nearly as well without her. She is my best friend, my favorite person to make laugh and I love being her husband.Continue reading “Happy birthday baby…I love you”
The power of Easter
I am resting after an incredible day of Worship and Celebration and Family. This weekend we had over 1100 people in the auditorium and over 100 in KidsPointe! That is a lot of people hearing about the power of the resurrection that now lives in us as Christians. Ricsha and the team did a great job andContinue reading “The power of Easter”
be careful what you chase
Last night was Collide our joint Middle School/High School worship service. One thing that has become a tradition for collide are our opening acts being BIG and a SPECTACLE…another tradition is them NOT working! Last night felt a bit like a dog chasing a car and actually caught it…be careful not to bite off moreContinue reading “be careful what you chase”
