We use the brush of the past to be able to re-...

In most cases, when a church needs a lawyer, it hires a lawyer. When it needs a plumber, it hires a plumber. But when it comes to making business decisions, most churches convene well-meaning but often inexperienced volunteers to form a committee, then they take a month and vote on the color to paint a door in the nursery. Conducting business this way kills the vision and drains the passion out of right-brained, creative, relational pastors and ministry leaders.

Over the thirty-six years I have been in the Baptist ministry, certain questions have repeatedly come to my ears. They tend to come from young people, teenagers, coming into their own, and bold enough to ask. As children, they attended church because their parents told them to. They attended the church they did, because their parents told them to, and they “believed” what they did because their parents told them to. Some of them grew up in homes where their parents tried to teach them not only what the church they attended believed, but why. In some cases, that didn’t happen, but in ...

Having a loved one turn his back on the faith we embraced through our formative years forced me to honestly reflect on things I had never dared to question before. My journey through my thoughts and with my brother would take me into places I did not expect to go—places that were simultaneously painful as well as uplifting. I would find myself covered in dirt from everything anti-Mormonism has had to throw at me, but I would also find myself shielded and renewed by gaining a deeper understanding of the beautiful truths surrounding The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

You have to use different techniques and tools to reach different kinds of people.3. To reach a ...

The story of five best-selling novels beloved by evangelicals, the book industry they built, and the collective imagination they shaped. Who are evangelicals? And what is evangelicalism? Those attempting to answer these questions usually speak in terms of political and theological stances. But those stances emerge from an evangelical world with its own institutions - institutions that shape imagination as much as they shape ideology.
