You all have been awesome to let me know how you first heard about Southbrook church. I thought I’d give you (as I promised) the results. So, without further adieu, the breakdown: Out of the 49 responses (yes, 49. Don’t get me started on that. You’d think we were asking people to give […]
READ MOREWhat does that mean, anyway? The church has been used to describe everything from the quiet ride of a Cadillac to a silly somber refuge on a Monte Python movie. These days the church is known for everything it’s not. How would you like to be a healthy, athletic, Olympic athlete in an event such as the decathlon, only to be […]
READ MOREI know. I know. Don’t say it. Let’s just get right to it, shall we? I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to acknowledge a truly awesome group of folks. And there are a lot of them, so I wish I could name them all. Instead, I’ll have to name just the top 10. […]
READ MOREWhen one thinks about powerful friendships of the Bible—the kindred spirits, the three Amigos, Butch and Sundance type deals, etc. — you’re hard-pressed to come up with a better example of XTreme friendship then that of David and Jonathan.

READ MOREWhen last we left our heroic vigilanty, he was stalking an intruder in order to do great harm to him, her, it. Let’s resume our story from whence we left it… “Did you close the fireplace Flue?†she asked. “What? What on earth does that have to do with the price of coffee mugs in […]
READ MOREThis has actually bugged me since I was just a pint sized shaver. It was back then that I noticed that a lot of ‘Christian’ men seemed to go to great extremes to lead the planet in wimpiness (they might refer to it as meekness, which, biblically speaking is fine, but for a lot of […]
READ MOREOk, ok, so it’s not exactly King Arthur, but it was pretty awesome nonetheless. In fact, the round table event I just returned from tonight (Thursday, May 24th) was more awesome than its medevil predecessor because this round table was a group of 12 pastors who are helping to change the world for Christ!
