break it down - word!
As a human I am post modern
As a post modern, my religion is Christianity
As a Christian I am a post charismatic (not anti charismatic) post evangelical
As a post charismatic post evangelical, I am emerging in how I think about my faith and spirituality
As an emerging post charismatic post evangelical emerging Christian I am part of the Emergent conversation
Within the Emergent Conversation, I am missional in the “how” of my life and faith
As a missional emerging post charismatic evangelical post modern Christian human I am a leader
As a leader, my approach for growing community is organic
As an organic missional community we are simple
As a simple organic missional faith community we are post modern humans
As post moderns we are Christians…
… how’s that for linear thinking? Now I just royally pissed of every single person in the conversation who doesn’t want to be thusly classified. Will that net me some creds with the critics? *smirk*

LOL … you’re funny. Linear thinking to make a circle!
I know right?
sometimes I dislike myself when I think this way hehe
you are who you are
Labels aren’t all bad. They often save time, and sometimes it’s just truth in advertising.
yep. for sure Mike.
that post was sort of me poking fun at myself a little bit and my tendency to want things clean and clear and under control (wow, I sound like an antiperspirant commercial hehe). That actually IS how I think of myself but I loathe that I think that way…and it’s also poking a little fun at the moderns I know who want things laid out that way - but they would want definitions and scripture references backing it up too
oh, and we can’t function without labels - we have to have them, period. So for those who hate them, I’m sorry, but it is what it is my friends
