The Most Important Word For Team Builders

The Most Important Word For Team Builders

Are you a leader and a team builder trying to surround yourself with the best possible people? Are you trying to build your A-Team? If you want to know how to get it done, watch this amazing performance from the Voice and the comments after. This performance on The Voice blew me away. Jordan Smith, a dude, sang the Sia hit song,…

The Emptiest Church In Glendale

The Emptiest Church In Glendale

Yesterday, we started what will quickly make GPC the Emptiest Church in Glendale. Empty of self, that is. Jesus poured himself out for our sakes and lived a life filled by the Father. That sounds like a great thing for his church to do, doesn’t it?

So what do you do on a Monday after a Sunday like Sunday?

If you were one of those folks who walked down the aisle…

The Big Bang Theory of Easter

It’s difficult to imagine where the beginning point of the Christian faith actually is. Is it in the Garden of Eden? The People of Israel? The Christmas Event? The Ministry of Christ? The Cross of Forgiveness? The Ascension? The Spirit? The Acts of the Apostles?

All of these are starting points. Some might be re-starting points, actually; an alt-ctrl-del.

In the beginning of the natural word,…

Christmas: Are You Buying Or Telling?

Christmas: Are You Buying Or Telling?

Recently, I read that the US uses 70% of the world’s resources (actually, I think that it’s more accurate to say that richest 20%, but anyway). The period of time between Thanksgiving and Christmas produces 40% of retail revenue for the entire year. 

Truth telling.  Are you kidding me?

Forty percent of business has to have Christmas or there won’t be an economy.  Sounds absolutely crazy.  Ifthe…

Christmas: Turning Funky Into Fine

🎶 It’s Christmas time, It’s no time to be afraid 🎶

Unless you haven’t done your Christmas shopping. You’ve got three weeks. Are you done yet? Shopping for Christmas presents really brings out the crazy, right? All these funky people trying to find a way to be…to feel fine.

What's The Point Of Christmas?

What’s The Point Of Christmas?

[This is the beginning of an #Advent series (a fancy Christmas season word which means, “Look out G, Jesus is coming!”) of indeterminable length. I have a count of 16 titles up to this point, so check back for inspiration during December or join the mailing list to receive the latest post in your inbox fresh like chestnuts roasted on an open fire.]

Is The Fault In Our Stars The Future Of Literature?

Is The Fault In Our Stars The Future Of Literature?

Claire Wallace is a senior in High School in the fast paced culture center of Glendale, CA. When she isn’t devouring books, she’s hawking them, talking them up and organizing book discussion groups.

In school I have read many famous classic books, which most people define as literature. In their own time, these books were well known and usually popular. I got thinking, “What about today’s popular…

Captivated By God

This is a brief response to a question that was asked in a sermon by Jason Heppner, preaching June 29, 2014 @glenpres // #3 in our GPC@TheMovies Sermon Series.

There was a moment in his sermon where he asked this question. I started to just write down the question, because it’s a good one, but before I knew it, I had filled a page of my journal.

When was the last time you were captivated by God?

Why John Green Should Have Planted A Church

Why John Green Should Have Planted A Church

There this little literary avalanche called The Fault In Our Stars. If you haven’t ever heard of it, you will, but chances are if you read blogs you have read the book. You have also probably seen the movie. 

The fine folks at Fast Company recently published an article on author John Green’s personal approach to becoming huge. While this will be good for all hard at work writers, I wonder if it…
