When the Wave Dies Down

Waves come and waves go. When God blesses your ministry with a wave of impact and growth, you’ll be wise not to expect it to last forever. (If it does, you’ll be an exception—not the rule.) If the wave slows, don’t try to recreate it. Those who continue to keep doing what used to work, generall...

Micro Churches, Mega Vision

I love to challenge myself to think about things from a different perspective, especially things I’ve taken at face value.
