We haven’t truly hit 90s nostalgia until I see Coke yo-yo’s in schools…

It's possible to talk a lot about grace and still be a legalist...

Sketching out a few ideas this evening. In the last 25-50yrs, have we tried to rethink 'apostolic' as 'entreprenurial'? Any thoughts @jd_payne @bradleybrisco @alanhirsch?

A helpful conversation starter here from JD. I have talked for a while about the apostolic impulses from within the church body, and that ecclesiological structures need to be able to understand, nurture and release it...

Prepping to preach Zephaniah 3 this weekend:

Worshipping in one community requires humility

I have about 3 different ideas that have a bit of overlap and I’m trying to figure out if writing them together, or separating them out is the best idea… Any writers have any advice or questions to help me think through this?

Delighted to share that I’ve signed a book contract with @Christian_Focus for Lies Small Church Pastors Believe! My hope is that it will encourage us as small church pastors to recover courage for ordinary, faithful ministry for God's glory!

This is a good reminder for me today, and I hope will encourage you too as you prepare for Sunday!
We do not need to carry the whole church on our shoulders, we just need to be faithful with the text in front of us...

Frank was my English teacher in school... I wish I'd put the effort in to learn more from him! Legend!

A week after launch, and after having some great conversations, I'm starting to develop a way to missiologically analyse places in Ireland to give a sense of how we could plant churches there. Here's a snapshot of what I've been building...

If we get evangelism, discipleship, and community formation wrong in church, what are some of the problems we see downstream?
(I'm writing an article for next week on this...)

About halfway through so far, but @toddwilson's latest book is an incredible insight into the church growth movement, and the culture that is still with us. What's also great is that you can grab a free copy here: church-growth.org
