Last year I challenged you to read through the Bible, using the One Year Bible Blog. Some of you emailed me to say it was really helpful. Cool! If you have never done it before, I highly recommend it. And its not too late to start. 2010 will be a sporadic year for me with…
Read MoreBest Religion Blog 2009: Father John Kicks our Butts
Father John Zuhlsdorf not only won the Bloggers Choice ‘Best Religion Blog’ for 2009 but he also raced passed us all on Technorati’s Top Religion Blogs.

Read MoreHow To Spot a Church Movement
Good conversation at Neil Cole’s blog on whether the organic church movement is actually a movement or not, and what some of the secrets of igniting a movement might be. Lets be honest – most of us wouldn’t recognize a a spiritual movement if it turned into a giant marshmellow and fell on our head!…
Read MoreWinkie Pratney’s Communication Secret
Winkie Pratney just suffered an aneurysm last week and “apparently is not doing very well.” His speech is slurred and he might have some memory loss.

Since New Years Day, the focus of this blog has been transitioning to something different – locating and equipping missional entrepreneurs around the world that God loves.

Read MoreA Response to Tony Jones
Tony, thanks for your post "Lonnie Frisbee and the Non-Demise of the Emerging Church". Some thoughts of mine in response. The twittersphere condensed the key thought of my post into something i didn't intend to say and there was some confusion. And the title's question mark didn't come out on the URL so the date…

Read MoreBest Books of 2009
I thought the most readable and timely book, considering this years economic downturn, and the discussion of prosperity after passing of Oral Roberts, is Will Jesus Buy Me A Double-Wide (‘Cause I need more room for my plasma TV) by Karen Spears Zacarias. Its also a hilarious read and has the best cover art. By…
