You recognize the intangibles of these barriers from your planting Mars Hill. I remember before you purchased the Ballard Building (and there was no building) the challenges that led to people leaving the church. There was a lot of confusion and no one knew where the next Sunday was going to meet. If things had stayed like that, Mars Hill would have hit a barrier pretty hard. Of course without the gospel, all of this is meaningless. Mike,

Becoming a practitioner you soon realise many of your ideals - albeit fine to hold onto and often necessary to do so - are just ideals without legs. So I value "how-to" theories like this because they often compliment the ideals. Helpful post Drew.
