In 6 weeks it will be 2010. And as many pastors climb into the pulpit on January 3rd, 2010 they will give the annual State of the church message, as well as a road map of the 2010 church agenda.

I’m sure that there are those who would lump all Christian conferences into the same category… I used to be one of them. After two days in Little Rock, Arkansas, I can’t say that anymore. This conference was an amazing gathering of people who are passionate about media, methods and the madness that sometimes ...3 days ago -

I referenced this HILARIOUS clip from The Cosby Show this past Sunday @ Courageous Church as we dive into what it takes to honor God with our money . It is a classic scene from the very first episode with a great exchange between dad and son dealing with what it’s going to cost to make it in life. (”I’ll ...3 days ago -

After 18 months of working at Youth Specialties and interacting with youth workers around the United States (and everywhere else) it’s finally sunken in: There are two different things called “ youth ministry ” with a major gap in the middle.

Ive heard this quote a lot lately: “What got you here will not get you there. ” Its the title of a book by Marshall Goldsmith. I read the cover, but not the book. If what got us here will not get us there , then we need to ask and answer the following 5 questions: 1. Where is here ? ...4 days ago -

Authority: 129
Sunday morning’s sermon at Harbor stirred in me the desire for the church to be a place of reconciliation. Stephen reflected on Revelation 7:9-12 in which people of every tribe, tongue, and nation will worship Jesus on His throne in Heaven and asked us to consider if we would attempt to do the same on earth? ...6 days ago -
Clarification for my OCD Readers
the reluctant leader —
Authority: 113
It seems my last blog - "Leadership is Not Rocket Science" - was not clear. In it I mentioned Paul Barkers "5 Foundations of Productive Teams" seminar (which I called a faith-mans version of Patrick Lencionis "5 Dysfunctions of a Team" book) Then I listed the results of a Gallup poll describing the top 4 ...6 days ago -
The Role Of The Prophet
Missio Dei —
Authority: 512
I wonder if someone ever said to Isaiah or Jeremiah, “How dare you criticize the what we’re doing!” I’m serious. If ever there is a thankless job in the Ecclessia, it is the prophetic voice, the one that has the very thankless job of reminding the church, “This is not who you are.” Prophet have a ...6 days ago -

My friend, Paul Barker is in Manila for a couple of weeks working with our pastors and key admin leaders. Yesterday Paul led a seminar he calls “The 5 Foundations of Productive Teams.” That’s a faith-man’s version of Patrick Lencioni ’s “The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team.” I think I ...1 week ago -

For a variety of reasons I know a lot of people in church transition. Some were on staff at a church which has let them go for budget reasons and they need a new church home.

I was recently talking with a couple of pastors who are on staff at a church together. They talked glowingly about their church, and how it is a "family church," and all the things they do to lift up "family," and theyre working on making it more "family friendly" and trying to disciple the "whole family" with "family ...1 week ago -
Why Aren’t We More Missional (Pt 3)
Church Planting Novice —
Authority: 127
So far we’ve seen that God motivates us for mission with our gospel identity (missio Dei) and missional responsibility ( mandates). Another way God motivates us to mission is by giving us particular graces. These graces come in the form of spiritual gifts. All of these gifts are intended to advance the mission ...1 week ago -
Why Aren’t People More Missional? (Pt 2)
Church Planting Novice —
Authority: 127
Despite the preponderance of missional church resources, American Christians are slow to live missionally. Why is this? In our last post, we suggested that one reason is that we are motivating the church with best practices of mission, instead of an identity of mission grounded in the Missio Dei. Today, I’d like to ...1 week ago -
