ARTICLES AND UPDATES
The Church has Left the Building: Being “in the Community for the Community”
I love Sunday mornings at Southwood. I think of them as family dinners where we all gather around one big table, invite our friends to join us, and celebrate together. We laugh, we cry, we even bring our problems and struggles, but we talk together about what matters most.

Why Short-term Missions
The answer to this question depends on whether you want to remain as you are, or be forever different. Back in the early 90’s, a semi-retired missionary became a part of my church. He regularly traveled to Russia to supervise a team of missionaries there. One day,… [more]
Ask a Pastor: When Church is Boring

True Social Gospel
As we have worked our way through the Gospel of Luke at Southwood recently, I’ve been surprised at how much Jesus seems to care about something so seemingly “un-spiritual” as who I eat with. Jesus seems to say that issues like who is at my dinner table or on my party invitation… [more]
Intentional Parenting: Finding HOPE at CAFE
The title of this article might suggest that Derrick and I are slowly going to shift gears to tell you how much we know about parenting. It is just not true. Like every other parent out there, we are just trying to keep our kids alive and show them how to live. Every… [more]
The Importance of Correct Posture
While you were growing up, I’m sure your mother told you (and maybe she still does!) to watch your posture and stand up straight, and she was correct. Posture is highly important for us physically, and it also impacts how others perceive us. As physical posture is important… [more]
