Stick Conference Recap

A few weeks ago I made the trek to northwestern Arkansas for the The Sticks Middle America Conference. The Sticks conference is aimed at those who pastor churches in rural areas. The host church, Brand New Church, is a phenomenal church located in the middle of nowhere! And that’s coming from someone who lives in More >

Church Visit – Nov 18 2007

This morning several LifePointe Church guys and gals traveled to Hatley, about a 10 minute drive for all of us. We we headed for Grace Fellowship Baptist Church. The week prior Grace had voted to adopt LifePointe Church and be our sponsoring church. So we were going there excited to see our friends there and More >

A Trip to Aberdeen

I took a trip to Aberdeen, MS, which covered about 10 miles and 15 minutes. My family and I went to visit First Baptist Church, Aberdeen, where I was asked to preach their two Sunday services. Their Minister of Students, Chris Thomas, and I had talked a few times previously and Chris decided to scrape More >

My Sunday

I hope that all of you had a good day today. As I visited two different churches in the area today, both locally, my mind was occupied with how different LifePointe will be. I can’t wait for the day at LifePointe when people come because they want to come. I can’t wait for the day More >

Church Tour: Stop 2

Northstar Church, Satillo, MS, is kind of like the mother ship of church plants in the northeast Mississippi area.

This visit was not More >

Church Tour: Stop 1

In the 10 months since we’ve moved back to northeast Mississippi, my family and I have visited some of the newer churches in the area. I enjoy seeing what new churches are doing around this region and how they are being received.  I also like to talk to their pastors and leaders. As we’re in the More >
