This post is mainly for my mom. :) 

 

Recent stuff I've done, "out and about"

Leadership Journal, Fall 2008- "Pastor Heal Thyself" (online here)

Out of Ur- I'm a regular, monthly (roughly) contributer- latest piece here 

Collide- It's not out yet, but Collide has already started the conversation around the cover piece done by myself and one of the pastors at a Mars Hill video venue... check it out

Neue- an online piece here (blog readers will recognize it) and, I think a piece on authentic community in their upcoming quarterly. 


As an aside... It's been awhile since I picked up Leadership Journal. Can I just say that it's fantastic? This issue I'm carrying around has a ton of stuff that I'm reading and have marked to read, including stuff by Neil Cole (Organic Church), Dan Kimball and Alan Hirsch.  

As well, check out Neue- you can preview their last quarterly online here

"Character matters in both the ones being voted for and the ones doing the voting."

Well said, Bob! It's amazing to me how all the Biblical prohibitions against malice, slander, and bearing false witness seem to go right out the window at election time.

Story... pt 3 Europe was an amazing adventure, and a fairly lonely time as well. I was a 27,28 year old in an expat church that looked mainly like 0-18 and then 35/40-60. I sat smack in the middle of an age gap with folks ten years on either side of me, and though they were good, caring people, and though I was blessed with a couple of good friends, the end result was not a lot of community for Bob. And not to put too fine a point on it, being a single guy in his 20's in Holland is not exactly an ideal situation. After 2 years (I wish now I'd stayed longer, but...) I decided to come back to the States. I landed in a small church in Durham, North Carolina and pretty quickly crashed and burned. There were a number of issues- underestimating the effect of re-entry, the pressure of coming into a church that 7 years on was a bit over a hundred adults and feeling like me as worship and youth guy had been pitched as a "solution." In addition, not terribly long after I got there, the other two people on staff moved on, leaving... me....

Missional Leadership Development... As elders, we're working through some next steps for our community, preparing to bring some ideas to the community for what we think is coming this next year and what we think we'll need to do to become not just a church that occasionally is able to plant another community, but a church-planting movement here in the city of Portland that consistently and sustainably replicates smaller communities of 40 or so people that grow and plant other communities by splitting or, as Evergreen is currently on track to do, replicating gatherings to get slightly larger so as to become a hub community that is able to train, resource, and send church planters and plants. But as excited as I am about that, what has really got my gears going right now are some things we are doing/thinking/dreaming about missional leadership and some ways I'm trying to move behind the scenes to help prepare and challenge our folks to impact the city and love the people of Portland. Over the last four years we've done a good job at being a church community that's made a real difference for many "formerly churched"- mainly because that part of our philosophy and vision...
