Wow! What a journey! Now I'll be able to sit down with you and just talk next time I get to Idaho...safe travels brother!
departing Korea
In early May we packed up our belongings and sent thirty-eight boxes over the Pacific Ocean to our house in Idaho. Last Saturday we packed the rest of our stuff into nine suitcases and boarded a plane bound for Idaho. After eight years of residing in South Korea, we gave up our alien cards an...
Nick - simply simply true...why we are still being driven by the expectation that communicators need to have answers and portray themselves as non-debatable experts is beyond me...the more I am vulnerable, the more depth of communication occurs. I love that video by the way...I saw it over a year ago and ordered a couple of her outstanding books! thanks...

I Miss the iMonk
Blogdom is simply not as interesting, challenging or as much fun without Michael Spencer's voice. And I really miss our email conversations. Sigh.
great post Bill...again you demonstrate that you have the pulse of what God is up to...
Holy Spirit on Extended Vacation
UPDATE: Robin Dugall furthers the conversation. I confess that I have grown tired of those folk who want to tell us how the church has gotten just about everything wrong for the past seventeen hundred years - and somehow they are the ones who now see clearly. It's as if they think the Holy Spiri...

outrageously great article! I'm a "leader" of a missional movement and I keep telling people EXACTLY what you are saying...if we "prescribe" the end result of our mission than we are doing the same thing that has been done in modern church - we are coming up with formulas for visible success/failure...what we are trying to do is "describe" or spur someone on to use their imagination under the guidance of the Spirit to follow the Lord in new and bold ways! With your permission, ALOT of people are going to see your article! Keep up the good work!
In Jesus,

The [Often Blind] Journey of Discovery
I am just back from Africa and have had no time for a new post... but I wanted to pass on this article from Katie Driver's blog "Backseat Driver" (that was also reprinted at CMA Resources). She has done a beautiful job of describing the adventure of organic church.. The Journey of Discovery, b...
I don't even know exactly what to write...so I'll say the first thing that popped into my head and heart, "I'm praying for you and 'wow'"
Closure
I want to thank everyone who's prayed for me over the last few days. What could have been a hard and "low" period for me has ended up actually being a good time of closure and of thankfulness for my life. I flew down to San Diego yesterday to bury my father. He died and was buried just how he li...
Steely who? Just kidding...got some Fagen/Becker on my Itunes playin right now..."how about a kiss for your cousin dupree"...oops, too personal for the many red necks that read your blog! :0)
NOW, serious moment here...great post! great post! great post! did I say that already? Bill, you hit it out of the park on this one!
Now, where's my Strat and Martin?
Turn Up the Neighbours the Eagles are Listening
This is a post on worship music. Which is why I've misquoted a lyric from Steely Dan. (Which would totally tick off a certain Dr. Masters - no, not that one - as this Dr. Masters would never be culturally relevant - even if my culture is probably stuck in the 70's and 80's.) I spent too many ye...
as usual bill - you got eyes to see and ears to hear...I posted this little tidbit on my blog too...more that needs to be read and pondered and acted upon.
Blessings bro!

A Quick Word on Missional from Steve Hayner
Being “missional” almost always defaults to doing a few more programs, instead of seeing ourselves (both individually and corporately) as missionaries to our own culture and across cultural barriers. Pastors are “affirmed” if the club thrives (measured by the numbers in worship and education pro...
not crazy about some of what he has done...that's not the point. The pic is simply creepy!
MessiahWatch
"More than a presidential portrait," writes artist D'Antuono on a website touting the painting, "'The Truth' is a politically, religiously and socially-charged statement on our nation's current political climate and deep partisan divide that is sure to create a dialogue." Like others in the n...
as usual, we shoot ourselves in the foot!
Uh, no...
great post dude! as a guitar player, I own a "strat"...not a tele...of course, a tele always reminds me of "teleological" issues, but that is another story. I have other "casters" that I've seen on the market:
"theracaster" - plays like butter and makes you feel good
"preachacaster" - gives a great message with every note
"herocaster" - has to be center stage - the egomania of guitars - people can't take their eyes off it
"sellocaster" - please buy my latest licks
Oh well...this is dumb but you get the point!
Loves in Jesus,
Robin
VisionCaster™? Is that from Fender?
I have a '65 Fender Telecaster™. It's a great guitar. One that makes me sad as I rarely get around to playing it. Bought it from the son of my parents' next door neighbours in 1978. For $300. Three months later that son wanted to buy it back. I declined. But that isn't the reason for this post....
This is huge Bob - as Bill said, many of the things that I have in my mind sound trite...I'm praying and supporting you in heart!

Oh , San Diego...
Oh, San Diego... land of somewhat less pleasant customer service, somewhat higher prices and difficult to find coffee shops... the place where I grew up and so the scene of both my best and worst memories. I'm here to clean out my dad's apartment. Sure feels like I've been here before. My gr...
Bob, brilliant! that's all I can say at this point. Keep posting on this!

The Death of Preaching
It's a pretty bold statement to say that video venues will eventually mean the death of preaching... but I think I can make the case. In his new book, Flickering Pixels (which I encourage you to check out!), Shane Hipps makes this point: "Every medium, when pushed to an extreme, will revers...
Come on Bob...got to use this on Sundays...you are a courageous chap! I'll use it!
Post Modern meets Old School
Oh, how I wish I could show this some Sunday... but alas- blogging it will have to suffice :) "Aren't you all entitled to your half-assed musings on the divine? You've thought about eternity for 25 minutes and think you've come to some interesting conclusions..." Ha!
as usual, spot on! now, get back to work!
Suggestions from the Consumer-Driven Church: Redux
From the Excuses, Excuses file: I'm up to my buttocks in work right now for which I am very thankful. (The work is paying, for a change.) Though I have a number of posts in process - I don't have the time or the horsepower to finish them. Doesn't help that the decaf coffee Imbi and I consumed at...
