I agree with Jonny – Thanks for blogging – and why not create an automatic feed from this blog to your facebook fan page (traffic would increase exponentially)

I appreciate your abiility to cross domains and finding applicaiton for the church. As I read it this is exactly what Jesus had in mind when he told us in Luke 16 to emulate the practices of the shrewd manager.

Christians should be leading these innovative approaches – not the government or business – they should be reading our blogs not visa versa. In the words of the inimitable Bonie Raitt “lets give them something to talk about”

Anyway – to your point – yes pastors need to lead the invitation for input – if they dont it won’t happen. We started ChurchRater http://www.churchrater.com for that very purpose – to help the church see itself through the eyes of Outsiders.

Thanks, Jonny, that’s the nicest thing anyone has said to me all week! I know the material tends to be a bit diverse, but I do pray that the ideas challenge you and others to think a bit differently and lead a bit more effectively. I am very grateful for your encouragement. If nothing else, it’s nice to know someone is actually reading this stuff!

This is off-topic. I’m a pastor of a 250′ish independent charismatic church, and I just wanted to say how much I enjoy reading your blogs. I appreciate you taking the time to post them. It’s like receiving a little leadership coaching directly from you a few times a week and that’s just cool.
