Resources to #ReimagineEVANGELISM... Life In The City! Back in 2013 I created a new evangelism tool called Life in the City.

With great joy I share with you that the new version of Life in the City has been published by CruPress.

#RethinkDISCIPLESHIP... Spiritual Development on a Congregational Basis Arrested Spiritual Development New blog post from Bob Logan Those who you might consider mature Christians may actually be a hindrance to the mission of the church. Like the person who has been at the same church for decades and is gatekeeping its traditions. Or that group of friends who have been in a “closed” bible study for years. There is nothing bad about traditions or friends studying the bible…

It deals with shame, church planting, manipulation, trauma, and addiction. It wrecked my family.

More Often than We Might Think, Pray Prayers for Things that Can't Be Measured Paul closes the beloved 13th chapter of 1st Corinthians with these words: “And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love” (v. 13). Okay. Great. So what? Faith, hope, and love are important and the…
Read more…Getting Your Groups Off The Ground
If you're like most Christians who hear about starting a group for seekers, we know what you’re thinking: It sounds interesting, but I don’t know anyone to invite. If I did start a group for seekers, what if I can't answer their questions? I could never do this by myself! Besides, I’m afraid that inviting the people I know to a group like this would damage our friendship. We get it. We felt the same way before getting our groups off the ground.And that's why we have Q Place…

Thanks for welcoming me to the Forum. I had thought I was already a member through the Prayer Leaders Network, but the sign in process wouldn’t allow me to sign in using my passwords from that site, so I created another account.
I had wanted to commend the article that I received from y’all by email about dealing with 4 realities that make it difficult for Intercessors/prayer ministry leaders and pastors/church leadership to build a praying culture in the church. I thought it was very insightful and a helpful perspective. Thank you for the article.
Hi Phil.
As a new member, I received 2 emails from you.
The first, informing me that my membership had been approved, contained 4 links all containing significant errors. None of the links worked, but I was able to deduce what the errors were so correct them for access. Not a good start! You should examine the links in the email that was sent two me to ensure this doesn't happen to other new members.
Links in the second email regarding my profile appear to be OK.
Steve
Thank you!
Thanks, Bro!!!
