This morning I had two great meetings. The first was a church planting team from somewhere in GA. They are blowing it out of the doors. They just showed up yesterday and wanted to talk about church planting and see the building. Our Pastor Brian happened through and invited these guys to breakfast. (I love […]
I’m probably not the expert on this topic and so many have written so much but I talk to a lot of guys that just don’t get the importance of Vision.
First, WHAT DO YOU SEE? If you want to plant a church, start a business, start a relationship, whatever, you need to know where you […]
I have heard about so many that are struggling financially. On one church planting blog, “probably won’t make payroll this week.” Met with businessmen recently that have told me their business is in the tank and just can’t give right now.
I hurt for all of these guys, the pastor and the businessman. WRC has had […]

If you are a youtuber you probably have already sen this video. It’s about churches in London that are now being used for other purposes? How far away are we from what is happening in Europe?
Here is a quote: “it was built for God, but not used for God.” What a sad, sad, statement!
God […]
I’m thinking about writing a book. I know everyone’s done it, said it, promoted it, blah, blah, blah. I’m not very marketing savvy so I don’t know what I’ll call it. But it won’t be a book for church planters, except those who have planted only one church. It will be a book to try […]
In staff meeting this morning we listened to a sermon from Leadership 2003 @ Willow Creek. Kirbyjon Caldwell from a church in Houston.
He was speaking about vision, but the line that really got to me was this: “The only thing worse than a bad decision is a bad decision made slowly.” WOW.
Hit me right between […]
I guess I feel obligated to comment on the Olympics. My daughter has really gotten into the Olympics this year. I have an ally to watch sports! At last. I know you’re all keeping up with Michael Phelps so I won’t comment.
But…did you see the 100 meter dash Saturday for the man to be named the […]
My friend Mark Cundiff sent me some suggestions for MESSY DESK. I promise I will try Mark. He even suggested a book: Getting Things Done, by David Allen. That will be on the next Church Planter’s reading list. That ladies and gentlemen is the reason we should not walk alone. Someone always has your answer. […]
I clean up my desk and say I will do better and keep it clean. But alas, paper begins to pile up and I don’t file or throw away stuff and the desk looks really messy. I know where everything is and generally have a pile for every purpose and a purpose for every pile.
Now […]
One of the joys of working with a church with a vision is that they put their money where their mouth is. This year we are partnering with 14 churches financially. Believe me it is not nearly enough. We wish we could provide so much more.
We are discussing fund raising with a guy that has […]
