Church Planting & Multiplication
Spiritual Revolution: Anomalies, Crisis & Newness
I’ve been reading about scientific revolutions. You know, Copernicus, Newton, Einstein and the rest. Each of the above triggered a revolution that created a new normal (a term I’ve come to loathe), but you get the point. Normal has truly arrived when it appears in a textbook or they teach it as foundational truth in…
Read MoreSeven Steps to Adopting a Church Multiplication Culture Without Breaking Wineskins
Most healthy churches are in a constant state of flux as they respond to their people’s needs and the ever-changing external environment.

Read MoreMaking Disciples: Do the Math
Hope you’re making disciples… If you are, you should be able to name your three closest disciples without even thinking about it.

Read MoreFormulas are Tiresome, but This One Might be Different
I want to be like Barnabas when I grow up (at age 74, I’m not sure I’ll get there, but I’m sure trying). Barnabas understood something that seems to have escaped the 11 disciples (12 if you include Matthias) who had been with Jesus. What did they miss after three years with Jesus plus nine…
Read MoreCOVID-19 is a Tipping Point Toward What?
So, who isn’t tired of hearing about the pandemic, or the “new normal?” I sure am, but here we go with another way to look at this mess. COVID-19 is an asset for those who allow it to be! Not to overlook the immense pain it brings, but for some it creates opportunity. Amazon.com, for…
Read MorePlanting Digital Churches in Response to COVID-19
So, tell me… Are you responding to the pandemic or merely reacting to it? Some who react struggle to survive while other reactors have simply moved the program out of the box and onto smartphones or whatever. Disciplemaking churches, on the other hand, see this as an opportunity to multiply disciples, leaders and groups. To…
Read MoreChurch Planter, Jervie Windom
Jervie was just 47 days into this church plant when I interviewed him at an Exponential event. However, he had been able to do some serious groundwork due to his retirment after a career in the United States Army. What makes Jervie so special is his deep engagement with the community. Some of this is…
Read MoreSmall Place Church Planting Opportunities
Church planting in small places is a new concept for me. I’ve done it for years, but somehow missed the grand opportunity and huge need that it represents. Think of urban neighborhoods and towns of fewer than 15,000 people as small places. Add the 5 million, or so, people who live an entirely rural lifestyle…
