About Me

Stuart Brogden

In June of 1994, I was dragged off by a persistent assistant pastor and the Holy Spirit of God to my first Promise Keepers conference. This was the culmination of seven years of preparation and a conspiracy of prayer by my wife and others in the church who loved me in ways I did not fully understand at the time. But God, who is gracious, saved me that summer day many years ago. He reformed my view of Him and of myself – and my wife. He showed me a better way to live, a better way to love my wife, and a better way to handle “my” money.

And He blessed my wife and me with two great kids - lent to us by God to train up in His ways. The Lord has been most gracious in this arena as well, as our children are now grown, good friends with one another, and fellow joint heirs with Jesus Christ. Not by my skill, but by the hand of almighty God - our kids are fine young adults who love the Lord and seek to honor and glorify Him with their lives.

Yes, there are days I get tired of people who let me down – the same way I let others down. There are days when I don’t feel like serving God or praising Him. There are days when I clutch my paycheck too tightly. But He never grows tired of His children and He gives joy when we are abandoned to Him. And He alone is worthy of all praise and service whether I feel like it or not – and we all need to be reminded of that. Heb 3:13, “exhort one another daily, while it is called today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.”

In my life, the Word of God has made the biggest difference, proving again and again that God is God and I am not. Reminding me of His will, His promises, and His provision.

Now I know I'm not a perfect man

Still have days when I build with sand.

But I belong to Jesus - in Him I stand

Every day I have to die,

rest easy in the Potter's hand.

Colossians 3:1 – 3, “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”

13 July 2014: called to serve as pastor (bivocational) of Gowen Baptist Church in SE Oklahoma. Trembling and joyful at the privilege of answer His call to proclaim His gospel to these dear saints. Started serving Aug 10th and was fired Aug 31 for preaching the Bible to people who follow Bill Graham rather than Christ.

In the grip of God’s grace,
