So my wife picked up my copy of Church in the Making the other day. It was the first church planting book she’d ever read. It never occurred to me that she’d be interested in reading a book like this. Further I didn’t realize the value of having my wife read a book like this. [...] Related posts:

Momentum: Mo or No Mo? Church in the Making provides a solid “reality check” for anyone interested in planting a church.

by Jonathan Dodson from his blog: Creation Project If we’re honest, many of us treat the Holy Spirit more like a silent partner than the third person of the Trinity. We are so cautious of the Spirit that we eliminate him from our leadership.

Further, since money is tight, you probably don’t have money to hire someone to do graphic work beyond a logo design, which by the way is a must (see this post on why it’s important).  Don’t you dare skimp [...] Related posts:

I had seen it done in movie theaters, but never thought about doing it in a school. It wasn’t until I was faced with a situation in which the school we were in wouldn’t [...] Related posts:
