10 Painful Lessons from the Early Days of Mars Hill Church

• I often tune in to the struggles of other church planters so that I don’t feel so lonely. There’s nothing like a good shot in the arm of “I’ve been there before.” Pastor Mark Driscoll has often said he’s someone who’s found the land mines by driving over them, and he’s been very helpful by pointing them out for us other guys. This is a helpful post with some good local applications for me.

Too Busy to be Missional?

• A good quote to summarize it: “The key to combating the competing things that vie for our time and attention is to see mission not as something we do, but something we are. It’s an identity thing.”

Raising Gospel-Centered Children

• If the Gospel has implications for all of life, then it definitely has implications for our parenting. This is something I’m growing in and wrote a bit about recently in another post.

The Pauline Cycle: Adorn the Gospel, Part 1

• This is a post written by friends of mine in Bellingham. They’ve created the goplant.org residency program, which is what we’re starting here in Campbell River, this fall. This article is about the Pauline Cycle that they’ve been learning about while studying ACTS.
