What an awesome weekend @ Southbrook Church!
- God assured me that I was right about hurting couples. People came in droves each service and out @ Monroe to gain hope for their troubled relationships. If you were among them–keep on coming! All four of these messages in the “Heartbreak Warfare” series go together and build on one another. Remember, God is the inventor of marriage. His desire is for you to have a happy and fulfilled marriage and you need to have faith that it is more than possible–it’s guaranteed–if you approach it God’s way!
- I think the young people, singles, and even those struggling with the pain of divorce were surprised at how much of this series speaks directly to them. So much of it is about the right foundation. Personally, I would rather have that before I ever start building the rest of the house than have to bulldoze the thing in order to get a proper one in!
- Pleasantly surprised to see so many men! Men, let me tell you something–YOU are KEY to making this thing work. You cannot sit back and take a passive role in this thing if you really want to see it soar! Very few successful take offs into the stratosphere happen from the lazyboy rocker while sipping a Corona and clicking back and forth among every possible sports game on the planet. Not saying sports are wrong. I love them! Just saying, go play with your wife. It’s more fun! Do I really have to tell you this?
- The band absolutely knocked it out of the park with their cover of John Mayer’s, “Heartbreak Warfare!” You all rock!!!

- I am PUMPED! about what we will be rolling out for couples in the weeks ahead. As I said, we will be offering free marriage assessments to all married couples. This is normally about a $50 deal, but our partners in this ministry venture are helping us offer it free so money won’t stop ANYONE from being able to participate. As soon as the details are out. Jump on it! Men, here’s a great opportunity for you to take the lead and show her you care–don’t fumble this football!
- For the record…I’m not budging on the FACT that coffee is at least partially…A VITAMIN! LOL!
- Oh, and men? Don’t forget that tomorrow morning @ 6:15 (for donuts and coffee) and 6:30 for our Man Up time–is our first Monday of the month. You know what that means, right? See you in the student building of our Weddington Campus!
That’s all for now–peace out!
