Champion of the Week

I’m such a slacker when it comes to this. I should call it, Champion of Every Other Week. And at the rate people are coming to SCC these days and understanding their real mission for Christ, it should also be more of a group thing like, Champion(s) of the Week. In fact, that’s what it […]

BHAG’s

One of my favorite leadership books over the last decade has been, “Good to Great.” In it they talk about goals a lot — but not just any wimpy, easily achievable, baby goals, but rather, goals the author calls BHAG’s which stands for Big Hairy Audacious Goals.

Thanks Brookies!

Hey Gang! Did you all see that Cafe both hours?!! It was full! And the 11:30 was actually larger than the 10:00! Does this make a difference? You bet. We had around 2200 people this week and fitting everyone in at 1800 was nearly impossible, at this size — the only way this has been […]

This Week’s Champion(s)

‘Going’ to Church vs. ‘Doing’ Church

Ok, ok, I admit it. even when I am not preaching it is hard to go to SCC and not ‘do church’. Seriously, if I’m not snapping photos for my blog, I’m running back and forth between the main worship auditorium and the video cafe to see if both worship experiences are all they should […]

The Best Christmas Ever!

I KNOW that God was smiling on Southbrook Church this past week as we finished our “Unwrapping Christmas” series and our last of 12 (yes 12) Christmas Eve services just after midnight.
