This weekend Chris kicked off our new series “Holiday Survival Guide.” Below are several practical steps you can use to help you stay healthy in the relationships you have with family (or friends) you typically see during the holidays.
Be aware of the role you typically play in your family. Our family role is the behavior(s) we often acted out during our upbringing which can automatically return when back with family. Although this could be a good thing, it can easily be negative in how it affects us and those around us. What role are you tempted to play when around your family? (eg. rescuer, enabler etc.)
Chris Brown has served as a Senior Pastor and Teaching Pastor at North Coast Church since 2004. Prior to that, he developed a nationally recognized student ministry at Azusa Pacific College, where he served as the Campus Pastor. His mid-week Bible study known as “911” started with 80 and grew to over 1,500 students.
A gifted story teller and Bible Teacher, Chris is a sought-after conference and chapel speaker. His humor and motivational style have helped North Coast Church continue to grow, not only larger, but also younger during his tenure. He shares the weekend pulpit with Larry Osborne – each teaching roughly half the time.
Chris is a graduate of Azusa Pacific University. He lives in Oceanside with his wife Amy and their three children.
