		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine tweeted something the other day that caught my attention. &#8220;Anyone else concerned that congregations in Modern Worship have become observers instead of participants/singers? People just stand &#38; stare&#8221; Then another friend who is a worship leader echoed with a Re-tweet and a &#8220;yes!&#8221;. I don&#8217;t have any issues with the question [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Missional people see their whole life as a mission trip” Reggie McNeal. Sometimes we segregate our lives in such ways that I think we miss the big picture. We take mission trips. We have evangelistic events. We run community group for 9 weeks because the curriculum lasts that long. We build fences around our family [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a theory.  It&#8217;s not a proven theory but it is one that I really believe in. I think that crowd dynamics have  a lot to do with how people feel when they are in a crowd. You have to have enough people in a room to feel cozy but not so many people that you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you are thinking of planting a church there is a really important concept you need to ask yourself before you start building a core team.  Are you willing to give away the church? It seems like a weird question given that intelectually we would all quickly say, &#8220;the church belongs to God&#8221; and I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been praying a very bold prayer for our church concerning a permanent home recently. I have been asking God to provide generously, show us the right timing and make it just the right place. As we were driving past one piece of land that is in my &#8220;sights&#8221; I asked my 6-year old daughter to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is the picture of the Good Shepherd in Luke chapter 15 that is contrary to most people&#8217;s view of God. And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I [...]]]></description>

The moment when your sixteen year old asks, &#8220;how did you and Mom meet again?&#8221;. The moment when your twelve year old comes home from school in tears and asks why no one likes them.

I know that we just finished Christmas Eve and we have 12 Sundays in-between but its time to start planning. Why? We plan because the stakes are too high to depend on our own strength and God uses [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In preaching what my friend Glenn Lucke calls “Connective Tissue” is the stuff that holds all the bones of theology together. It is the creative story that illustrates a great theological point. It is the joke told at just the right time in order to open someones heart and soul. It is the cultural hat [...]]]></description>
