No doubt about it—Christians have an advantage like no other. We have direct access to God! Have you ever really stopped and thought about that? Direct access! That means, no middle man, no middle religion and no middle set of barriers (i.e. rules and regulations, or ‘hoops’ to jump through). We don’t have to work […]
READ MOREThe gang from our Peru mission’s trip returned over the weekend pumped as ever! This is our third trip to the Quechua people to bring them Bibles in their own language. They are ever thankful and end up being a far greater blessing to us than we could ever be to them. Our people come […]
READ MOREI used to be fascinated by people who claimed to have near death experiences—not for the reason most people are—but because most of them seem so…well…what’s the word I’m looking for? Absurd. Now, hear me out. They seem this way to me because someone who has “died on the operating table” as they say, would […]

READ MOREWhat an incredible week it was all around for Southbrook Church to build His kingdom! I know this is three days late, but that’s how much was going on! First, our second Haiti missions team of the year (6 total trips are planned for the year with around 100 people making the journey) returned this […]
READ MOREOne of my favorite authors is Jon Acuff—He makes things memorable by making them flat out hilarious! Yesterday he wrote a blog post about a subject that’s frustrated me for years… Why do so many Christians take Church off during the Summer. Read it. You’’ll laugh, but don’t laugh too hard. Remember, there’s a little […]
READ MOREWe have over one hundred signed up for the Impact Membership Class tomorrow night! Love seeing the Southbrook Family growing!
