At the beginning of March, I whiteboarded all the major projects that had to be done before picking up Eli. This list included: CD, Honey-Dos, weddings, RELI 101 wrapup, messages, services, etc. I had to map out a plan to get the stuff done, but then I realized something: I can’t get all this done. …
North Side is having a ministry fair this Sunday night in the FLC at 5:30. This fellowship time full of food and such will also be a place where you can get more info on how you can get involved in all things North Side. Have you ever wondered if your place to serve in …
Ah, Monday. The day full of tackling projects and trying to make a difference in the world. Today’s partial agenda: help North Side impact the world when our building’s doors are closed. Many people see the internet as the Devil’s playground. In many ways, it is. While you can waste a lot of time on …

I had a conversation about church hopping with a buddy of mine recently. He goes to another church in another town but had recently been discouraged with members from his church leaving to find another church. What hurt him so was all the time and energy and prayers he had poured into this family, and …
I’ve been a songwriter since I started playing guitar. I love it, but when I became worship pastor, a dilemma arose. If I have the choice to lead with a song that I have written or Chris Tomlin has written, if I defer to quality, we would always play Mr. Tomlin. I love his songs, …
This week’s book of the week was Andy Stanley’s Making Vision Stick. Stanley is the pastor of North Point Community Church. He is one of the smartest leaders I have ever had the privilege to be taught by. The guy breathes organization and systems. He is often criticized for his use of corporate leadership within the …
In my love of bad church signs, I thought I would share with you some of the most intriguing church signs of this Christmas season. Here we go: 1. NO OFFERING PEACE ON EARTH – I mean does a church want to advertise they can’t provide that. 2. SANTA CLAUS NEVER DIED FOR ANYONE – …
