- Even though I’m at a great church and Sundays rock, I know several hundred thousand people in the area are either unaware, could care less or are flat out hostile to what we do. How do we intersect with their lives?
- If people gave to the Church like they really believe God existed, everything they have comes from Him and He asked them to give a portion back, what kind of generosity could be unleashed in each community? Read recently that most churchgoers give about $600/year to their church. And that’s the people who are actually going!
- Why don’t churches work better with each other? It’s not “you win, I lose”. It really is “you win, I win, we win, the Kingdom wins”. It’s clear we don’t really operate that way. I wonder how many people have avoided God because of the pettiness they see among churches?
- Will we (North Point) make our 5/50/10 goal (5,000 groups/50,000 people/2010)? I’m not celebrating the numbers. I just know firsthand what God can do when people share life together and encourage each other to pursue Him. Latest I heard we’re edging into the high 20,000s in groups among the 3 campuses and 15 strategic partners.
- Will my Cubbies win the World Series for the first time since 1908? I started watching them as a 10-year old, and am now 37. I wonder how many other 10-yr olds over the last century have said, “Surely they’ll win it in my lifetime”, and those folks are no longer with us. Come on Cubs! I’m just asking for 1 championship to view with my own eyes.

Hi, I'm Scott and this is my bio attempt. God has a sense of humor... I work at a church. That's not the path I figured coming out of grad school, but when He called, thankfully I didn't try to win a battle of merits between my plan and His. So, how'd that play out? Well, in 2001 I left commercial real estate and went on staff at North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, GA. This place captured my heart the first time I walked in the doors. God, thanks for letting me do this for as long as you let me do it!
