This Scripture Drives/Directs My #Reimagine Journey
Stop imitating the ideals [and being confined to the traditions of your Church] culture
but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think.
This will empower you to discern God’s will as you [pray and] live a beautiful life,
satisfying and perfect in his eyes. Romans 12:2 The Passion Translation and [my paraphrasing]

Read more…3 Real Reasons Most Christians Don't Make Disciples by Caesar Kalinowski Read time: 4 minutes Most Christians I know genuinely want to make disciples. They believe in the Great Commission. They've sat through the sermons. They've nodded at the vision statements. And yet — nothing much changes. The rhythms of intentional disciple-making never quite take root. I've been in ministry long enough to watch this pattern repeat itself in healthy churches, motivated leaders, and sincere…
Read more…#ReEngageCITIES: Neighbors and Neighborhoods Seeking the Welfare of Our Communities Are you asking how your church can engage its neighborhood, city, region, or community more faithfully? The Church is not merely located in a community. The Church is called to discern and participate in Christ’s mission there. A congregation can be present in a neighborhood without being meaningfully present to its neighbors. A church can gather in a city without seeking the welfare of that city. Ministry…
Read more…#ReFocusCOMPASSION Pathays to Mercy, Justice, and the Love of Christ in Action Are you asking how mercy, justice, kindness, and practical expressions of genuine love become more central to your ministry? Compassion is not merely a ministry department, a seasonal project, or a response to emergencies. Compassion is a visible expression of the heart, character, and mission of Jesus through His people. Churches can speak about love while remaining distant from the pain, poverty,…
Read more…ReformatEVANGELISM Rethinking Gospel Witness for a Changing World Are you rethinking evangelism because familiar methods seem less effective, less relational, or less connected to the way of Jesus? Evangelism is not merely a program, a script, an event, a campaign, or a ministry department. Evangelism is faithful witness to the good news of Jesus Christ - lived, spoken, embodied, and shared with love, humility, clarity, courage, and hope. Many churches still believe in evangelism but are…
Read more…Why Reimagine Here? Reimagine.Network has changed. Not simply in appearance. Not merely in navigation. Not only in the number of resources available. We have revamped the way the site works. “Revamp suggests a bold, energetic transformation, a fresh perspective, and an adventurous leap into something dynamically different.” That describes what has happened here. Reimagine.Network began as a growing collection of articles, interviews, discussions, tools, and ministry resources. Over…
Read more…Discipleship — #ReThinkDISCIPLESHIP From Church Participation to Christlike Formation Are you concerned your church is producing attenders, consumers, or volunteers more effectively than authentic disciples? Discipleship is not merely a class, a curriculum, a program, or a pathway for new believers. Discipleship is the lifelong formation of people who learn to follow Jesus, obey Jesus, become like Jesus, and join Jesus in His mission. Churches can grow attendance without forming…
Read more…Strategic Prayer — #ReimaginePRAYER From Prayer Activities to Prayer-Shaped Ministry Are you wondering how prayer can become more than an opening ritual, emergency response, or a ministry team for prayerchampions? Prayer is often the first thing we say we believe in and the last thing we actually redesign around. We open meetings with prayer. We pray when there is a crisis. We ask people to pray for needs, decisions, illnesses, missionaries, ministries, and events. All of that matters. But…
Read more…The Trouble with “Submit” Rethinking How We Translate ὑποτάσσω Joel B. Green A Starling Murmuration: No bird submits to another, but each orders itself in relation to the others. (Wikimedia Commons) Few Greek verbs have done more work in Christian debates about marriage, church, and state than ὑποτάσσω (hypotassō). And few have been so consistently flattened in English translation. Open almost any modern version at Ephesians 5, Colossians…

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!!!
