I know most of you don’t look at Sunday morning as a presentation…and it certainly is much more than just a presentation, but you are presenting the word of God and Seth Godin has some great advice for those presentations that you give every Sunday morning. I’d like to highlight #4 on his list of [...]
An interesting look at who the unchurched think and view those of us who believe: Would You Save Jesus From Murder, A Baffling Dilemma.
I’ll hit the road tomorrow to head to Nashville for the NRB Convention. I have two sessions on Sunday, Escape from the Planet Mundane and Unchurched. Let me give you a preview (and maybe entice you to join me). Escape from the Planet Mundane I’m going to talk about church marketing, why it often sucks [...]
First let me be very clear…I’m not making fun of you and I’m not trying to pick on you. If you your guilty of some of what I’m about to talk about, I’m bringing something to your attention to give you a new perspective. I’m really not trying to be critical to simply be critical. [...]
Many of you have probably heard about this advertising campaign “Why Believe in God…be good for goodness sake.” that has come to DC (and I’m sure we’ll see it in other places as well). Some of you may have gotten angry, maybe even offended. I know people are already talking about it. And I think [...]
A house divided will not stand. – Abraham Lincoln I’m already hearing the rumbling. Many within the church are not happy with the results of the election.

Now there’s something better….the code of halloween! Out of candy. Giving out Taco Bell Sauce Packets. Oh, oh. Dentist’s [...]
Well, I’ll be honest, I didn’t think I was going to like Twitter…but I gotta say, I’m a believer. Now, I’m not in Terry Storch’s camp…it’s not going to replace my blog but it certainly supplements it. So after a few months using the twitter and learning a thing or two I thought I’d share [...]
Ok, so I was going to write a post about Seth Godin’s new book Tribes as it relates to the church and the “tribes” within the church. While you can take many things from Seth’s various books and apply them to the church, this one could have been published by Zondervan. I was then going [...]
When we say the word “church” we usually think of the building..you know Sunday morning, a pulpit and stage, maybe some pews. But do we need all those things to have a church? Not for a community in Pheonix, AZ. For many people living at the Stone Oaks apartment complex church means block parties, poolside [...]
