My Crazy Travel Day Yesterday

I was flying back from Atlanta yesterday after speaking at The Velocity Conference and I had to take the underground train to my gate.  You know which one I’m talking about, right?

And perhaps the most limiting of these misconceptions is the illusion of a lack of control. The average pastor in … Read More

Who Are You Listening To? (Church Planting)

I’ve been focusing on Church Planting here on the blog in recent days, so I thought I’d share another concept today that’s important when you’re starting new church from scratch. Here’s the concept: Be mindful of who you’re listening to. As a church planter (especially in the pre-Launch process) it’s easy to get caught up in chasing to the latest fads, … Read More
