We’ve moved to www.jordanpfowler.com. We’ll leave worshiptrench up for some time so you can continue to grab the free tools and peruse other pertinent articles and posts. We won’t be allowing or managing comments. Stop by the new jordanpfowler.com to continue to get thoughts, leadership tips and other stuff that clangs around in my brain (I know, a scary thought).

On January 1 my role at NorthWood will be changing to become Teaching Pastor from my current Worship/Communications role. This will bring a change to my focus as my two main responsibilities will be:

• 1. Teaching. Preaching, curriculum, doctrinal stuff, etc.
• 2. Strategic Systems and Process. Helping NorthWood’s systems be  user friendly, efficient and effective in a God glorifying way.

With this change in focus will come a change in what I write about.  I will leave up worshiptrench  as a monument of God’s faithfulness and grace to allow me to serve in a worship leader role over the past 11 years at NorthWood and for 21 years in total.  The dispensation of grace given still amazes me. If you know me personally, you know that I have received much grace to be able to serve in this role. Worshiptrench’s  free tools and tips will remain for WL’s to grab. As for my writing, something new will be coming that focuses on teaching, theology, leadership and systems, and whatever else clangs around in my brain.

• Re-read a journal from 2001. Interesting experience as I see radical changes and yet am reminded of seeing some things that haven’t changed. #

Dear Mr. Hicks: You own my Texas Rangers. You own my Dallas Stars. Why in the world must you own my Liverpool? Please sell them. Spend you energies ruining running the Rangers and Stars. Let a good Brit run a British team. One who isn’t in financial doldrums and will spend a bit for team improvement. Thank you.

• God doesn’t promise “easy,” He promises “with us” & us “in Christ” and “Christ in us” as we go “through” (not around) tough times. Help me. #
