The Picket Fence

Posted on August 4, 2021August 4, 2021 by Dr. Alan Ahlgrim, CSO | No Comments

I once built a fence with my father-in-law. We lived on a corner lot with three active little kids. So even though money was extremely tight, I scraped enough together to buy the lumber and build a sturdy fence to keep our rambunctious ones in the yard. It took a few days of hard labor, but we completed it together – one board at a time! One board at a time is how both fences and friendships are built. That takes a long time, but sturdy fences and friendships are worth it. As Kenny Rogers once said, “You can’t go […]

FOMO – Distraction Addiction!

Posted on June 16, 2021August 4, 2021 by Dr. Alan Ahlgrim, CSO | No Comments

FOMO – “Fear of Missing Out” is a serious problem for me and a real addiction for many. Years ago our German exchange student, Olli, had a near panic attack one Friday night when he had no party or opportunity to entertain him. We thought it was kind of funny, but Olli wasn’t laughing. He was absolutely convinced that his social life was in a ditch and might never recover! Sadly, feeling overlooked or left out doesn’t end with our teenage years. A pastor friend of mine was lamenting that on the first Easter Sunday after his retirement he and […]

I’m Experienced!

Posted on May 17, 2021May 17, 2021 by Dr. Alan Ahlgrim, CSO | 1 Comment

Every time I celebrate another birthday I’m happy to say that most days I honestly feel 20 years younger – this year I’m saying I feel like I’m 54 with 20 years of experience! It’s been said that no wise man would ever wish to be younger. However, what I know to be true is that inside every old guy is a much younger guy wondering what in the world happened! I’m always delighted to be blessed and teased, in fact, my close friends know that the two are just about the same thing for me. Everyone I know who is older […]

Off the Wall!

Posted on May 11, 2021May 11, 2021 by Dr. Alan Ahlgrim, CSO | No Comments

When our church faced a severe financial crisis, some wondered whether our ministry would even survive. Even though we were solidly in the mega-church category at the time, we were engulfed in a mega million dollar difficulty. We had just opened a 20 million dollar extension campus and were also in an expensive legal battle with Boulder County over land use that went all the way to the steps of the Supreme Court. That all happened in 2008 just as the economy cratered, leading us to immediately lay off 40% of our staff and then another 25% the year after. The […]

Do you own it?

Posted on May 7, 2021May 7, 2021 by Dr. Alan Ahlgrim, CSO | No Comments

It’s been said that nothing is more dangerous than trafficking in unfelt truth. I know. Early in my ministry I was stressed by vacation prep and borrowed a sermon title and more without giving any credit. After the service the oldest member of our tiny church greeted me at the door and said: “I’ve always appreciated the messages of Peter Marshall.” Ouch! The prophet Jeremiah said, “I am against these prophets who steal from each other and claim they are from me.” No one has a monopoly on truth, we all need to lean on others. However, those of us who lead and teach typically […]
