You simply must read David Fitch’s essay, Missional Misstep.
I have made the same mistakes that he describes in the piece.
It seems the bigger my gospel gets, the harder it becomes to tell someone how to become a Christian.

While in Ghana this last week, I was able to break off from the art and
music camp for a few days and go up north to see firsthand how the
children are being trafficked out onto the lake, to talk at length with
our rescue partners, and to see the progress [...]
Greg has written a bit about our leadership team retreat this past weekend.
Before we left for the retreat on Sunday afternoon I spoke to our church about changing the conversation from problems to possibilities. This is much harder to do than it sounds. It is much easier to get together with a group of people [...]
If alcohol is “liquid courage” for some, then coffee is “liquid intelligence” for me.
Here are my top three most entertaining Olympic moments so far:
1. The Phelpsian Feat2. Usain Bolt’s 9.693. Watching Bob Costas trying to figure out what Bela Karolyi is saying.
Here is an interesting snippet from Pete Rollins. I think he is on to something here. What do you think?Indeed often the most destructive element in the development of a community arises from the very statement that one is attempting to build a community.

The men’s relay last night was one of the best races I’ve ever seen. I’m sitting in my living room in Catoosa, Oklahoma screaming as if I’m there in China. That is why we watch the Olympics.
Speaking of the Olympics, I’d like to qualify for the 2012 games, but I’m not sure which sport would [...]
If you’re in the Tulsa area. . .
I have two free tickets to the Leadership Summit which will be simulcast at First Baptist Church in Owasso.
It’s on Thurs and Friday of this week. You don’t have to be able to attend the full two days to claim a ticket.
If you’d like to go, please leave [...]
Last week, while at church camp, Caleb (age 7) was asked in a small group what character in the Bible he’d most like to be.
His response: Peter.
When asked why, he said, “Because he got to cut a guy’s ear off.”
I’m not sure how I can spin this positively except to say:
1. The kid knows his [...]
Here are several books I’ve just read or am about to finish.
1. What Would Jesus Deconstruct? I loved this book. Caputo is sharp, funny, and able to explain deconstruction in a constructive way.
2. The Reason for God. This is a great book for me to read. I’m a doubter and every so often I need [...]
