New Church Name & Website :: { leave a comment } ::

Southside Church is now “Lafayette Community Church”!
For over a year now, Southside Church has been holding public services of worship and running small group Bible studies that inspire people to put God first in their lives. We have a simple approach, a casual atmosphere, and a straightforward approach to Bible teaching that have brought a number of people to make first time commitments to Jesus and have helped other people to simply take their next steps on their spiritual journey.
None of that is going to change, and in fact, we hope that our ability to help people take their next steps will be enhanced by this name change.
We started on the southside of Lafayette, and we thought we would be able to stay there for the life of the church, but finding meeting space was difficult there, and through a series of successive moves northward, God finally brought us to the Long Center in downtown Lafayette. Well, that’s not on the southside, and there’s no reason for a church as young as ours to hold on to an irrelevant name just because we like it, so we’ve made the change.
Let me encourage you to check out our new website and watch some of our videos to get a feel for who we are and what we are all about.

We’ll see you over there!

Dear Pastor Jeff,
I loved your post on fear of public speaking! I am a coach who specializes in stage fright and fear of public speaking. I have written a few posts to say that love is the answer to stage fright. You have identified the issue exactly as too much focus on whether the audience will like you rather than focusing on loving and caring for the audience.
I would have left a comment on your page but did not know how to login to your blog. If you are interested in one of my posts on the subject, you can find it at http://www.self-expression.com/speaking-freely/why-i-say-love-is-the-answer-to-stage-fright-fear-of-public-speaking/.
It is lovely to see a Biblical context for understanding the issue! I often think of Jesus as the one who was most inclusive, most open to love everyone, and now I can think of him as the world’s greatest teacher for transforming stage fright.
