I am more and more convinced that we need to check our steps if the process of disciple making that we use does not reproduce disciples that make more disciples. This is exactly what the apostle Paul is communicating in 2 Timothy 2:2 NLT: “You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many…
If you want to understand your community, and what the needs are, spend a lot of time out there. Every place you go and every person you talk to outside the walls of your church can be a God ordained moment if you choose to be intentional and interruptible. I am blessed to say that…
“This is my command: Love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this: to lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you.” John 15:12-14 (CSB) “I love you!” It was a bold statement. She said it before I did. And it…
New Generations is committed to the idea that the only way to complete the Great Commission is through ordinary people multiplying disciples in their natural networks. In a recent interview, this question was raised to Aila Tasse, East Africa Regional Director for New Generations: “What is the most surprising thing that God has done in…
Over many years, New Generations has been building a global workforce that is “all in” on the idea of movements being central to the next era of world missions. Our conviction is that movements comprised of chain reactions of disciples making disciples and churches planting churches will be what God uses to bring about the…
The “Matthew Effect” (or “Matthew Principle”) is the economic and social principle that those who begin with an advantage will often gain a greater advantage, and those with little to no advantage will often lose what advantage they may have had. For instance, those with wealth generally have disposable income which they can invest and…
A few months ago, our church hosted a community outreach event which provides shoes and socks to children in our community. Our planned strategy for this event involved one volunteer team connecting with children for sizing and selecting new shoes, while another volunteer team connected with the parents while they waited for their kids. I…
When you do things, do not let selfishness or pride be your guide. Be humble and give more honor to others than to yourselves. Do not be interested only in your own life, but be interested in the lives of others. In your lives, you must think and act like Christ Jesus. Paul, Philippians 2:3-5, ICB…
“Something isn’t right here, the things we measure don’t seem to produce what we say we are chasing.” This thought just wouldn’t go away. I was sitting in a service at my church and listening to a report that served as sort of a “state of the church” to start the new year. As an operations…
Every month, my wife and I host a lunch for new people at our church. It is a time to connect with new people and make sure they see me not just as a pastor on a platform but as a person who is approachable and personable. One of my favorite portions of the gathering…
Why are we perceived as boring Christians? How did we get to the place where we systematize and professionalize following Jesus? This can’t be what he had in mind when he said in John 20:21, “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” How did so many become career Jesus people but seldom…
