Dangerously Delicious
Friday, August 21st, 2009
I've just read, re-read and re-re-read Steve Addison's amazing little book "Movements that Change the World" (visit his web site here). It's a dangerous book. (As a completely random aside, did you know that there's a fabulous pie shop in B'more called "Dangerously Delicious." Their t-shirt has a pie and cross bones motif that looks like this)

Steve’s advice to... ministers... is to reflect on whether they are genuinely making time for ‘hanging out’ with non-Christians. “If you spend 2 hours making your powerpoint… Read More
don’t plant a church
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009
Don't plant a church. Don't plant a service. Plant the gospel. What's the difference between planting services and planting the gospel? What kind of churches do we want to plant? Hope you'll watch this interview of Jeff Vanderstelt (Pastor, Soma Communities, Tacoma) by Scott Thomas (Director, Acts 29) http://theresurgence.com/Scott-Thomas-Interview-Jeff-Vanderstelt-video ![]()
