I just want to wish you a happy thanksgiving.If you haven’t seen the movie The Fourth Kind, you may not understand the term. The Fourth Kind is an encounter with aliens… not just an encounter. An encounter of the fourth kind means you are kidnapped by the little extraterrestrials.I&#8...

I was kidnapped by aliens once. They took me into their port and forced me to go to a Cubs game and sit in the bleachers, oh the humanity, as I was forced to for hours at a time to watch the merciless cruel game as the Cards totally destroyed the Cubs. The Aliens plied me with liquid that gave me unusual powers of courage and screamability. I ... See Morewas held down and tortured with various calorie induced foods that made me sick to my stomach. I was ported back to my room, and placed on my bed where I sobbed for hours at the pain that wracked my head and body. Oh the inhumanity.........:::::))))))

Speak Peace Garrett

Speak Peace Garrett We are our brother's keeper.

I need my brothers in Christ speaking into my life in order for me to fully become who God intended me to be in Christ. Praise God. We need each other. We have to look out for one another.
I can't just be concerned about myself. Small Groups serve as a way for saints to connect in a way that... is more than just superficial. The result being that we can, as God leads, be used by the Spirit to build one another up and stir one another to love and good works.

Hebrews 10:23-25, Hebrews 3:12-13

We are our brother's keeper.

I’ve been around ministers and ministry my whole life. My dad was a church staff member then went on to be a senior pastor. My first church position was as a music and youth pastor (I was 17 years old when I started in this role.). I attended a Christian college to study for ministry then went on...

I am glad that people are talking about it. Some seem to think it is a new doctrine invading the Christian church. But we should definitely not divide over the issue. It is a great mystery. One to ponder with grace towards others who may disagree.

Yep, I think so too Carolyn. This was written by a friend here on staff but I'm pretty much in the same place. We have a tough time with mystery so we tend to draw neat boxes around our ideas. The SBC has been trending toward "Reformed" for the last two decades or so...I imagine we'll settle out around 50% and hopefully all continue to get along. ;-)

Want an easier life? Of course you do. So knock the excess of your life, complexities of your relationship, in short, cut the faff and breathe easy.

keeping up the tradition of being an "equal opportunity hospital visitation team," our group headed down to Lackland Air Force Base to celebrate the 10th baby born in our small group over the past 2 years! Josiah James is a great addition and we enjoy taking over maternity waiting rooms in full support.

Wasn't your group just celebrating a birth a few weeks ago???? I would think the nurses might know your names by heart!

Fortunately we strategically rotate around hospitals so we don't hit the same staff twice. :) It's our 5th hospital of the year. We're all out of pregnant ladies now, so I think we can begin to focus on the formation of these little group members for awhile.

Three weekends ago, we had a small first birthday party for my daughter in Chattanooga, our sort-of-home. My daughter and I live in Nashville still as I continue to work at LifeWay and wait on the sale of our house, while my husband lives in a rental house in Chattanooga and works full-time as a ...

The manuscript for Episode 4 of Small Group Life Barbarians: A Call into Unchartered Faith is making its way into production. (Boy do we work ahead. Would you believe that this doesn’t release until next fall!) Because there’s the sense that maybe we as a culture have become somewhat ...
Judi Alexander Jackson

Judi Alexander Jackson Well, of course my favorite picture is the one of three of our guys in a volleyball action shot. One of my life verses is John 10:10 with the constant reminder that we have an enemy who is out to steal, kill, and destroy our joy, but Jesus invites us to live life to the fullest. And with Him in the center, our small group works (and plays) to achieve that!

Wow! What an awesome picture. You can really see the love that the tattoo guy has for the newly baptized guy. If only we could hear what he was saying in his ear.... ;)
