Amber, thanks for the encouraging words. I'm not sure if the exponential is recording all the workshops or not. I'll be sure to find out. Please ping me again after the event and I'll let you know what's up. Thanks!

A Note from an Anonymous Blogger, A Prayer, and a Prayer Request
My pal, Chad Meister, sent me this note from an anonymous blogger on Ash Wednesday. These words helped me set the trajectory for this 40 day journey into Lent. Powerful stuff. I read it over and over. After his confession, I invite you to use the prayer following it to make your own. I thought...
Tim, so true! Thanks for adding your insight. You have our respect and admiration, brother!

Be The Church: What Are WE Going to Do?
This last weekend, I taught on one of the three anchor points of our new vision, Reproduce At Every Level. During the message, I provided a quick fly over of the coupling of the Creation narrative in Genesis with the New Creation narrative in the Gospels. You can check that out here, just for...
Matthew, great question. It's both/and, not either/or. I fully believe that a leadership team of a faith community should get away, be still, pray, and seek God's guidance. In addition, I think the leadership team must find a way to include as much of their church as possible in the listening process for future vision. Honestly, I don't see many local churches include that second process. Usually, the pastor and a few key leaders go away and come back with the vision. I'm not saying that is wrong. I'm just saying as we include the church in that process, which we did over a year long process that included a web portal, focus groups, countless conversations and email, I believe you increase the clarity. Hope that clarifies. thanks for the comment.

Edgar, well said. Neil Cole describes the "worshipping but Lordless" church as the "zombie bride" of Christ. I think that says it all - not truly alive or growing but still walking the earth.

Jesus is Not a Decency Cop - What Do You Think?
The Verge Network website has officially launched. This will sound over-dramatic, but as I opened up the page and looked at the content, my soul sang. This is not a website for the faint of heart. But if you long to be a Kingdom revolutionary, this is a place to be seriously convicted and int...
It can be overwhelming. No doubt. Let me recommend a couple books to start with: The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren and The Me I Want to Be by John Ortberg. Also, please consider joining others who are wrestling with similar questions here at GCC. There's a community that is meeting for 10 weeks to discuss the second book, Me I Want to Be. Here's a link to investigate http://www.gccwired.com/story.aspx?storyid=89
I hope you'll consider taking this journey with some other folks. It's the community that shapes us as much as the content.
PS (I would address you by name, but the link dead-ended on me. I hope you get this message)

I met with a good friend of mine today, Brian. We’ve been on a journey of friendship together for a couple years. Last year, after many spiritual conversations, Brian surrendered his life to Jesus and declared his faith through the sacrament of baptism. I had the honor of sharing that moment ...

Think About The Next World
Think about the next world today. “If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.”...

Baptism Through the Eyes of My 10 Year Old Photo Genuis
Baptism is a sacramental moment. As a pastor, few moments rival the sacredness embodied in the water, as I become a conduit for grace, facilitating a holy moment of surrender and faith between each individual and the Lord Jesus. Each baptism is special to me. Each person is a masterpiece of Go...
