I have been reading a lot lately about the way things are going in the church in America. There are many ideas out there about what will happen the the western church and the ideals it is built on. From what I understand, some like Phyllis Tickle are thinking it will be a convergence of [...]

I have been thinking about grace a lot lately. It really is such an incredible thing that I don’t think I really get. I know I understand the concept, but I don’t walk around feeling it in my life. I don’t often think of how it is can be such a life changing thing. It [...]

Much like this ad series, evangelistic efforts across the globe have enticed people to start a relationship with God by telling them about some good news that they will want to know one day.

More writing on Seth Godin’s book Tribes. Check out previous posts here, here, here and here. Another great thought for the church is in what Seth Godin describes as Making a Ruckus. Godin describes the problem with forming new tribes often found in the business world. “The old rule was simple: The best way to grow an [...]

It seems that several people in the church are reading Seth Godin’s book Tribes. I have already written about it here and here. I have been thinking even more about the book and what it says, though not directly, to the church.Some highlights: Leadership is Not Management “Management is about manipulating resources to get a known job [...]
