Ministry friends,
Anyone else tired and weary reading headlines:
2022 will be a pivotal year for churches
2023 will be a pivotal year for churches
2024 will be a pivotal year for churches
And now, ladies and gentleman,
2025 will be a pivotal year for churches.
Will we ever get it?

Sadly this is probably just the beginning of a significant loss and shift in how we engage science and research.

Just added a new immersion trip for this fall. We’re headed to Wisconsin to talk about leadership and organic leadership development in the local church. More details to share soon but this trip has been a goal of mine for a while. Looking forward to investing in Kingdom leaders!

Last official ministry trip of 2024. Working with a great church in California as they continue to develop a new approach to outreach, communication, and community connectedness.

Church planter, remember the church is more than what happened today. Don't give too much emphasis on how many people joined your gathering. Instead focus on the impact that is happening relationally throughout the week in neighborhoods, workplaces & social spaces. #engagethecity #newscorecards

Where can I find more about this from them? Very interested in using this in a class I’m teaching next term.

Finished my deer hunting season today. Won’t have much time to get back out. Got some venison for the freezer which is always nice. Had a nice time out in nature with good friends. Definitely feel the change of the seasons. In the weather and in our little hunting circle. Lots of time to think.

Wrapping up teaching my first term on understanding missional culture and context. Next term is all about the practical application of consistent and sustainable missional projects. Looking for examples of pioneers and practitioners in micro church and missional movement. Who is a fresh new voice?

The mission of God is too important to be left to a select few; it requires the participation of every believer.

Making plans for ministry events and activities for 2025 seems a little jarring more than it should. Seriously, where did 2024 go?
