What's Your Reputation?

When I was growing up, my dad always made me think about my actions and what others would think of what I did (which was good for the most part). I can't remember if there was a certain phrase he used, or if it was just something I noticed over time, and I definitely began at some point to rebel against the idea of it (sorry, dad, because you were the brunt of most of that rebellion). And, I really wasn't a rebellious teenager. I didn't drink, didn't go to wild parties, and was overall a pretty…See More

An alternate church growth strategy...

A friend of mine sent me this article on church planting yesterday. It's by far one of the most exciting and challenging articles I've read in recent months. It challenges a lot of my perceptions and assumptions about church planting, church leadership, and my definition of "church".God has really been stretching and growing me personally in so many ways and with so many of my assumptions where "church" and spiritual life and leadership are concerned.It's also been helpful that I've been…See More

A Church Without Walls, Part 2

I often wonder what a church without walls looks like. One that is not consumed with or even tied to a building. I think we need to talk about this subject more - to make it a part of our DNA at our churches. Technically, the Church (the bride of Christ) IS a church without walls.



When Christ looks at the Church, I don't think he sees a building, programs, structures, institutions. I think he sees people. He sees a body that works together, struggles together, struggles to get it… Continue

A Church Without Walls

In 2009, Hillsong United return with ‘… a_CROSS // the_EARTH::tear down the walls’ – featuring 10 brand new LIVE praise & worship songs + new recordings of ‘Desert Song’ & ‘Your Name High’, including such anthems as the title track ‘Tear Down the Walls’ & ‘You Hold Me Now’. So what would a church with no walls look like? It looks like justice… not ignoring poverty or hunger… or the person next to me on the subway. Where faith translates to praise, and all our inadequacies kneel down… Continue
