Church Planting Supersite!!
I am always on the hunt for good resources when it comes to church planting. The problem we have in the UK is the lack of quality material on the topic, relevant to our context. The problem we have in housing schemes is contextualising material written for a largely middle class demographic. However, if you can think on your feet and are able to work hard at this,…
10 Marks of a Humble Leader
This is a good little post from the Catalyst space website. Check it out here.
If You Don’t Read Then You Shouldn’t Lead! (Did you see what I did there?)
Any planter worth his salt will always have a book on the go. We must never stop thinking. We must never stop learning. We must never stop seeking to grow in our understanding of God’s Word and how to apply it to our specific cultural contexts. It’s cheesy but true – “great…

2011 in review

Why My Perfect Family Is Better Than Yours!
Here in the UK there is a (not so) great tradition of sending yearly family newsletters around about Christmas time. I am unsure if it is just a Christian phenomenon or a class thing because I never came across them in my life when I was growing up. However, many of them are unintentionally hilarious. Being a pastor we used to get more than our fair share of these things.…
