Nothing! It was a mess…just like we wanted it :-) Our goal was to show everyone what a Sunday without volunteers looks like! [...]

We Need You to Serve vs. You Need to Serve

November 1, 2009

For the first six months after we launched Courageous Church, I often felt like a car salesman when it came to volunteers. Regularly I would basically beg people to serve and tell them how much we needed them in the clearest way possible. In the end, a few great people would sign up, but it [...]

Some Brutal Honesty for Church Planters: Less Bling. More Truth.

October 21, 2009

I love leading Courageous Church! 9+ months into this adventure and I am still excited, passionate, still optimistic, and still courageous!

The White Male Church Planters Conference (Part III)

September 14, 2009

About a year ago I expressed my agitation concerning a national church planting conference that I thought had a glaring lack of diversity. The lineup they had was awesome!
