This week I’m beginning a series of teachings on the resurrection. I guess I sorta started it last week with my Easter message about the resurrection being a 2nd chance for goobers. This week I’m going to start exploring some of the practical implications of the resurrection. Too often, resurrection is reduced […]

While we’re still talking workshop, let me ask for some help from my blogreading workshoppers. Please take a minute and answer the following questions for me.
1. Who are your favorite workshop speakers?

Another Workshop has come and gone. Things seemed to go really well. Len Sweet did a great job. Those who attended and listened to what he had to say left with lots to think about. Mike Cope was excellent as usual. Terry Rush did a great job directing the workshop. […]
The Tulsa Workshop is upon us.

Known to church staff by the tongue-in-cheek label “purge Sundays,” the […]
I’ve started listening to an Alexander Hamilton biography. Early on Chernow states that Hamilton was the most influential founding father never elected president and far more influential than many that were. What was so special about him? I’m not sure yet. I’m only about three hours into a 36 hour […]
Something Sam said over on his blog reminded me of something McLaren said in an interview with Church Marketing Sucks:
Can you market God?
I think that’s a complicated question. I’m sure you have some good opinions on that. To some degree all that marketing means is communication. If we’re communicating in public, I suppose that could […]
Yesterday I spent several hours with our leadership team talking about emerging church stuff. We used Kimball’s book as a starting point. During the discussion, one of our shepherds had the insight that instead of treating the folks who walk through our doors on Sunday mornings as consumers of religious goods and services, […]
