The Need for Delegation & Equipping Others
Inability to delegate due to lack of time is short-term thinking. Time lost in delegating on the front end is recovered at the back-end.

Checkup: Vital Signs
Today, we started a new series at North Side entitled “Checkup.” Week one focused on “Vital Signs” – how is your personal relationship with Jesus going? Are you living a lifestyle of worship? Great message – you need to listen to it here. Matt Ware and the Emerge band led worship this morning. These college students, high school students, and …
Leadership Team Retreat
Tuesday through Thursday, I went to Hickory Knob State Park with North Side’s leadership team to strategize and to simplify. We worked on the year’s upcoming budget and calendar and also tweaked a few things that needed improving. While there is no way to include everything we worked through, I can give you a few topics so you can be …
Volatile Work Environments
Have you ever worked in a volatile work environment? I recently talked with a friend who was in this situation. How do you handle it? You can’t be responsible for what others do, but you can be responsible for how your respond. I strive to maintain consistency within my personal relationships, because I have been close to people whose personalities …
The “S” Word
In my first semester teaching a world religion course at a secular university, I learned the vast number of worldviews that could be prevalent in one location.

How Do I Find God’s Will?

The services all geared around “How Do I Find God’s Will?” Many people submitted comments on the blog wanting to know how to discern between two options when God’s Word doesn’t explicitly say something about it. “You will never know the will of God until you know the worth of God.” – …
Inlaws or Outlaws?
Scripture: (Gen. 2:23-25) 23 And the man said: This one, at last, is bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh; this one will be called woman, for she was taken from man. 24 This is why a man leaves his father and mother and bonds with his wife, and they become one flesh. 25 Both the man and his …
Above Reproach
I had a lot of great conversations after last Sunday’s message. I hope people are still processing the message and at least having the conversation with God about whether not they should be drinking or not. If it’s OK to drink socially, then we should not be scared to spend some time with God concerning the issue. If we are …
Church Sign: Jesus is Watching
Normally, I’m not a fan of most church signs, but this one I dig. Even though it is a picture of a white, American Jesus which isn’t that close to reality, the message should get some people to think twice. Enjoy the picture and the context: Confront the elephant in the pew!
