Today I went to a church plant network meeting. There are church planters from all around that come together to encourage each other, challenge each other and hold each other accountable. It’s only been the fourth meeting so far and there is already about 30 people in about 20 different church plants/whatever we call them […]

My toilet read right now is The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning the visual addition. I bought it originally for the amazing art and graphic design that was all throughout it but I started reading the words and they were equally as captivating. There is one page/quote that stood out to me on something that

For those of you that are unaware. It was disclosed to the Westside Kings Church in Calgary a few weeks ago that their senior pastor had been having an affair. This was a blow to a lot of us especially to some really close friends of mine who have been working closely with him for

My friend Phil Prendergast, on his new blog, that I designed is posting often. He just wrote a post on building relationships in a suburban church, it was good. Check it out here. On another note. I grew up with a guy named Phil Adcock. I like Phils. We were great friends till about the

The idea of faith has always been one that baffles me. I’ve heard the word tossed around and used in many different contexts. If you have enough faith you will be healed. As if it is something that we muster up and get to a certain point before something good will be done for us.

As part of my stay here at the FRWY, I am working alongside of Pernell and a few networks to put together a day that reaches out to church planters and those that are into forming new kinds of church. I’m quite excited to what this day is going to be like and for anyone

A few good finds… Fredricca Matthews Green has a great article on young people that get married and sexual desires of young people via. I really appreciated this article because I think she’s saying thing that the church doesn’t realize in many ways. Click Here Here are some quotes from it. Marital durability has more

After speaking to a number of people that I respect regarding this post on the Sarnia Revival, I’ve come to believe that some of the things I said were not said gracefully, or at the very least could easily be misinterpreted as ungraceful. I want to publicly, like I wrote the original post, apologize for

This weekend I got to go home for a bit back to Sarnia. I posted a review/open letter here. There is some stuff going on in Sarnia at my home church that has been stirring up some talk lately. The people in the church call it revival, others from other churches who are optimistic call

I just finished watching Munich. It was an interesting movie on terrorists in Israel and Palestine and the individual and national moral battle that tears people apart. The battle between violence and pacifism was rampant all throughout the movie. There was one line that stuck out to me throughout that meeting. “If we don’t become

The last few days I’ve spent in London with my best friend Phil because I told him that I would give him a few days to work out some design stuff for him for his new job. He is the youth director at New Hope in London Ontario. So here is what I put together.

Last night we spent the night with David Fitch at the Resonate Echo event. It was an enjoyable night. I enjoy nights with ‘famous’ people because it always makes me realize over and over again that these ‘famous’ people are just regular people who say regular things and ask regular questions. David Fitch is an

I’m starting to hate my hosting company more and more. I had a few posts about David Fitch above this, but for some reason they no longer exist, it looks like they restored my database back to yesturday afternoon. So now I have to repost that. Great.

I’m heading over for dinner with David Fitch in a few minutes and then to the Resonate Echo event that he is doing. I’m looking forward to it a lot. I really enjoyed his book The Great Giveaway and it will be cool to sit and chat with him for a bit.

Mark Driscoll has a great post on different types of leaders for church plants, (i’m sure this is true for more than just plants) and I think it really hits right on for a lot of the experiences that I have had. Click Here

I just want to set the record straight and clarify about my previous post about the academic verse practical. I wasn’t trying to say that Pernell wasn’t academic, nor was I trying to say that Dom was not practical. Both of them have challenged me greatly in both ideals. The communion story isn’t at the
