Who Pastors the Pastors?

19 05 2008

After reading a couple different pastors blogs (Gary Lamb and Michael Lukaszewski) and finding out who these pastors listen to to help them in their spiritual journey, I’m going to give you the crazy long list of pastors that I listen to regularly. All of these guys are available by podcast and I learn so much from them. It’s way too many and there are not enough hours in the day to listen to all of their messages, but I sure do try!

Great Quote

19 05 2008

From Perry Noble’s last message;

“If you love the way we do church now, you’re probably going to hate it in 10 years.”

I’ve said before that if we’re singing the same songs, doing the same things the same way we are doing them now in 10 years…shoot me.  I don’t want to be in a comfort zone.  I don’t want to ever be a pastor that says, “We’ve always done it that way”.  I want to always be exploring new ways to do church…ways that haven’t been thought of yet.  Ways that will be relevant to the culture of the current time.  Church has usually been about 10 years behind the current culture and in some cases even more.  What is a way of doing church that hasn’t been done yet?
