That's the title of the three week teaching series we're getting ready to kick off this weekend at Church180! I can't wait to tell the story of a man who kept staring fear in the eye... and moved forward! Matter of fact I'm going to tell three stories about this man. Each time he faced … Continue reading Putting fear in a headlock

Four agreements for every family
Right now at Church180 we are in a teaching series called "Ideal Family." This teaching series is based on the wisdom of St. Paul in Ephesians 4:17-5:21. Today we discussed the four agreements every family would be wise to make with one another! Agreement #1: I will not go to bed angry. I will speak … Continue reading Four agreements for every family

On Sunday, September 8th, Church180 is changing church times. We will be offering two, identical church services at 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Let me tell you what will be the same: The band will be the same. We will sing the same songs.

Why I don’t tell our church when I’m not going to be at church
This weekend I didn't preach at Church180. In fact, my family and I weren't even at church! I told no one in advance (with the exception of our pastors) that I wouldn't be there. When I have done this in the past people ask me, "Why didn't you tell us you weren't going to be … Continue reading Why I don’t tell our church when I’m not going to be at church

If I were you (what Seth Godin can teach the church/Christians)
A few days ago Seth Godin blogged another gem. I want to post his blog and add some comments that will be relevant to a church environment. My comments will be the bullet points. (Oh, and I've also bolded some of the "stick out" lines in his blog post) "If I were you..." But of course, you're … Continue reading If I were you (what Seth Godin can teach the church/Christians)
Safe place to hear a dangerous message
...I say that a lot at Church180. (The first person I ever heard say that was Bill Hybels.) Because I say it so much I think it deserves to be broken down and explained in a bit more detail. So here we go... "A safe place..." The church is to be a place where we … Continue reading Safe place to hear a dangerous message
Who I want to be in our church
My friend and mentor Shawn Lovejoy just wrote a book called, "The Measure of Our Success." In this book he says, "Who our church is reaching is more important than how many our church is reaching." I agree. As a leader it is only natural for me to want the church I pastor to grow. … Continue reading Who I want to be in our church
