Most weeks I get so enveloped with what I am studying—so excited about what God’s teaching me—that I feel like I barely get warmed up on a Sunday and it’s over. This weekend was all of that on steroids! There’s such a disconnect today with Christians and the Old Testament. A lot of Christ followers […]
READ MORESouthbrook Monroe is almost there! Today I went by and was blown away with how awesome this place already looks and how good it’s going to look on opening day! Volunteers have been working around the clock, donating time, money and physical effort without complaint! Oh how I wish it had been like that when […]
READ MORESomeone said that, so far in this series, “Jesus seems pretty much the opposite of everything I’ve ever thought!” Better get used to it. The world has attempted time and time again to create God in OUR image rather than accepting the truth that we are created in God’s image but have […]
READ MOREThis past weekend was the first ever LIVE recording of Southbrook’s praise and worship! It was bitter sweet for me. Sweet because I heard it was “off the hook†awesome.

READ MOREHere’s where we’re at…           Pretty impressive, huh? I’m telling you, this thing is looking less and less like the Singleton Tree House and more and more like the, Swiss Family Robinson Tree House! As promised, I will keep you up to date every step of […]
READ MOREIt’s a time of uncertainty and apprehension in America. I heard someone say today that, “no matter who wins, half the country will be disappointed.” That struck me as odd. So many in this great country claim to be Christians. To you I say, “Where is your trust? In whom do you place it?” Yes, […]
READ MOREThought I quit, didn’t you? No way, I’m committed to this thing, and my father in-law, son, and I are all having a blast doing it. We’ve even changed the design along the way several times. But, sense some of you expressed some “concern” that this thing might crumble in the first snow storm that […]
READ MOREI know this seems like kind of a recent thing from Oregon to Florida to Texas and beyond—but spontaneous baptisms have been going on for, well, 2,000 years.
