examining the model
Reclaiming the Mission :: The Weblog of David Fitch Blogger Len Hjalmarson said… “Proving to be examples to the flock..” This is the killer for me. I’ve known many busy pastors, and while they are often examples of a moral life they are not examples of a well-lived and missional life. They have [...] Related posts:

missional - how do we get there?
comment: missional now - YES! how do you get there is the question, when folks are so used the saving/evangelism mode of being missional. i don’t know the answer, but i know i am very weary of thinking it is the church’s job to “save” folks.

the prophets are speaking
Jake Bouma on ReutersBob at the CornerEd Cyzewski I’m telling you, a new wave of prophetic voices are picking up the bull horns and they are SPOT ON. Either catch on that we’re living in a different world or step aside because most of us are tired of beating the proverbial old dead horse. In fact, [...] Related posts:

Another best of missional
Andrew Jones, as always, has some great thoughts. And because he’s just too cool for school AND came late to the synchroblog party (something to do with no internet in Aberdeen but I think he just wanted to get the last word in *wink*), he gets his very own “best of” post. Here are some [...] Related posts:

some of the “best of missional”
** Click here for my contribution to the missional synchroblog. As I was reading the posts from the missional “mega synchroblog”, many many thoughts stood out to me and I thought I’d post some of the best here for my remembrance and (maybe?) your edification. i honestly do not use the word for one primary reason–the people [...] Related posts:

Missional synchroblog: GO! DO!
I made a wordle for many of the words here, I think it’s neat Setting aside the argument against labels for a moment and assuming for the sake of conversation that we all use labels as a way to identify ourselves and our social groups, I’d like to attempt to tackle the question “what is missional?” I [...] Related posts:

their own sense of style
My girls definitely have their own sense of style. Take Aliyah for example, playing in the rain yesterday. Note the floral top with the differently patterned floral skirt (that is too big) with the tights and “wizard of oz” red sparkly shoes all under the yellow polka dot rain coat. That is some serious fashion [...] Related posts:
