autos and abodes

Budgeting freaks most people out. Maybe it’s we don’t like being tied down, or we just don’t like spending the time necessary to prepare and monitor a budget. I’ll admit, it does take a little work, but it is the tool that can lead you to financial freedom. In this second installment of Money Mondays, [...]

sunday night rewind

We closed out our Unplugged series today, and Travis did a great job opening our eyes to the number one enemy of finding rest. Here were my takeaways:

Fear will keep you from experiencing the peace and rest that God intended through Christ.

Fear will result in you exaggerating your circumstances. (Numbers 13:32-33)

Are those in your circle [...]

it’s friday, i’m in love…(part 2)

with my faithful readers. A few of you were kind enough to point out I missed last Friday, so this post is dedicated to you. You’re the ones that make blogging such a joy. I hope this Friday you feel the love emanate off the screen as you read!

it’s friday, i’m in love…

with good customer service (and not so much with bad customer service.) For you faithful readers, I apologize for the posting desert that has been my blog the past few days, but our cable modem went down. We called Brighthouse (cable company) on Thursday, and they can’t get a technician out until Sunday. This will [...]

the rest of god

Here are my notes from The Rest of God by Mark Buchanan. This is the first book by Buchanan I’ve read, but I’ll soon be adding all of his books to my library.

“I want to learn to pass through [...]

money mondays

Whether its an aversion to numbers, lack of knowledge, or just plain indifference, this can be treacherous landscape for many. I’m certainly no expert, and there are many with far more knowledge on the subject, but hopefully in [...]

sunday night rewind

I had the privilege of filling in for Byron this weekend @ C3 during our Unplugged series. And to be honest, I’m not sure how guys bring a message week after week. It consumes me mentally, emotionally, and physically. (Now you know why I was so slack with my blog this week.) It’s hard to [...]

church at the movies – pt 3

The web 2.0 era is amazing! I mentioned in yesterday’s post that we had a conference call with Gary Lamb where we picked his brain about meeting in a theater. We asked him to share a few other churches that were doing a great job in the theater and he told us about [...]

church at the movies – pt 2

In our 2nd installment, we’ll take a look at Ridge Stone Church led by the always entertaining Gary Lamb (just read his blog for a week, you’ll see what I mean.) Ridge Stone was started about 3 years ago and currently meets in a theater in Canton, GA, just north of Atlanta. Byron [...]

church at the movies – pt 1

Many of you are well aware that C3 Church will be moving our Sunday services to the Regal Cinemas in Waterford Lakes. The prospect of holding our services in the theater environment offers great opportunities for innovation in our approach to ministry. We continue to brainstorm creative ways to communicate the message of [...]
