“God is on the move, extending the reign of Jesus throughout culture and society, and it’s our job to join in with what God is doing.”

"A church must first establish a culture of love and effective relational disciple-making."
"The gospel will always be good news and an offense to those on both sides of our increasingly divided spectrum."
“The scorecard is changing. Church leaders are less enamored with drawing crowds and seem more interested in making disciples.”
"We need to learn reconciliation and unity. How can we love our neighbors when we can’t even love our sisters and brothers?"
“We are not finished discipling until people are on mission—loving and serving others, making disciples themselves.”
"Here are 17 things that I have found in churches that are growing. Each nugget is exactly a 140-character tweet."
"These are hard conversations to have. But when we speak truth in love, we are doing what Jesus asks."
“If we really are intent on bringing the world to Jesus, whatever model we choose must be infinitely reproducible.”
"When we take the church out of the building, things get messy, and we may lose any control we thought we had."
