why do christian movies stink?

O.K., the title to this post may not be fair. But, if you love the movie industry, you must agree that a vast majority (95%-99%) of Christian films stink.
Now, I’m not talking about the big budget Hollywood extravaganzas, such as The Ten Commandments or Passion of the Christ. I’m talking about the movies made in [...]

peaceful easy feeling…

It’s 8am Sunday morning, and I’m sitting at my computer at church as I write this. We’ve already been here longer than an hour, and I’m listening to the worship band rehearse, and the volunteer setup crew putting the finishing on the stage. It’s a huge feat, because we meet in a movie theater, so [...]

what is connection?

We have got some great volunteers at LifePointe church. And, we’ve got a bunch of them! Half of our church are active volunteers, and that’s nothing to sneeze at when it comes to church statistics.
But, I often worry about connection. And by connection, I mean a deep-rooted attachment to one’s surroundings and a committment level [...]

Is there a God?

Ahhhh…that is the question. The one question that secular humanists have been asking themselves for centuries.
You know, I think to help answer this question, i’m going to put on my “atheist hat.”
If God doesn’t exist, and man is truly all by himself on this big, blue marble, and everything we’ve accomplished up til now can [...]

Plant this!

LifePointe Church has been in existense for 16 months. That’s 69 weeks (68 if you count the week of the Great White Death of ‘08). We’ve had Sundays that were successfull beyond all imagination, and some not so much. We’ve had dozens come to Christ, and many baptized. We’ve had parties and picnics that show [...]

Mother’s Day, Speed Racer, and the such…

As we prepare for our annual Mother’s Day service at LifePointe Church, I am becoming very nostalgic. Not prohibition-do-the-lindy-buy-bonds nostalgic…just recalling-the-great-things-about-my-mom nostalgic.
I have to ask myself “would I do the things for her she did for me?”
The answer: It’s hard to say.
Would I give up the last slice of pie? Probably not…but in hindsight, I [...]

Laugh, cry…the whole gambit

Gotta be honest with you…I’m an emotion pimp.
It’s true. I want to see people cry or laugh or whatever when they watch my videos or read what I write.
So, when I create a video for the Sunday message, or choose a moving graphic for the background of a song, I always ask myself “Will this [...]

LifePointe staff & stuff

One thing about being on a church staff is that you are thrust into a scenario unlike anything you’ll find in the “real world.”
I have been in sales in corporate America for 21 years. Each sales staff is made up of “x” amount of people, all there to do one thing…make money.  There are different [...]

LifePointe media guy starts fresh

It seems like lately, my life has been full of new beginnings. I’ve felt renewed spiritually, my wife and I are highly successful in a Weight Watchers class, I’ve found a great passion in my writing, and, after a year and a half, we are finally feeling like Louisville has begun to embrace us.
And, I [...]
