Healthy Reproducing Churches Conference

I just finished listening to the tapes of Eddie Hammond, Fran Leeman, and Lance Finley from our Healthy Reproducing Church Conference. Wow! Seriously, I was blown away. My heart was set aright. My desire was fanned for planting new churches. I plan on uploading the MP3's to our website soon.

Another Test

This is to test the email to blog system.  If this works I guess it does make it easier to blog.  Now if they can just come up with a way to make my thoughts seem more intelligent ! 

This is a test.

Brian,

This is a test.

Let's hope it works.

A Hundred Directions

I want this to be a community discussion, not just a fact post, though we can post some FYI's here if it catches on.

Gil gave me The Present Future as a Christmas gift. It is one of the current buzz books and may generate some discussion. I also just finished Summoned to Lead by Leonard Sweet. That was a pretty interesting book as well.

Issues cultural are always good.

Here are The Present Future chapters:
New Reality Number One: The Collapse of the Church Culture
New Reality Number Two: The Shift from Church Growth to Kingdom Growth
New Reality Number Three: A New Reformation: Releasing God's People
New Reality Number Four: The Return to Spiritual Formation
New Reality Number Five: The Shift from Planning to Preparation
New Reality Number Six: The Rise of Apostolic Leadership

Sounds pretty good. Number Five stands out to me and I haven't even read it yet.
