Americans’ circle of close friends...

Great article (reminds me of the book Bowling Alone) about the shrinking circle of community in America:
“Americans, who shocked pollsters in 1985 when they said they had only three close friends, today say they have just two. The number who say they have no one to discuss important matters with...
Taking a Hill - Developing Leaders...
As we (Kaleo) continue to talk about our call to Redeem San Diego by bringing the gospel, I’ve really been thinking about who are the people in our church who can ‘take a hill’? Knowing that Jesus Christ went out and took a hill (Calvary) that conquered all hills, we can know go out,...

Breaking the Missional Code...
I’ve been reading Breaking the Missional Code: Your Church Can Become a Missionary in Your Community by Ed Stetzer & David Putnam. What has impressed me about Ed (I don’t know David but I have had the chance to meet Ed a few times) is his loose grasp on the methods and his (and the...
Deacon Training & Development...
I’ve had a couple people ask what we do for Deacon Development, so I thought I’d post it for anyone to use. First, we believe that the Deacon (or elder) process is just a confirmation of what God has already done. Meaning our Deacons are already active in serving and running ministries...
Gospel-Centered Wedding Message...
This weekend I performed a wedding. I was looking for a good gospel-centered wedding message. I ended up tailoring the message from CJ Mahaney’s Sex, Romance and the Glory of God from chapter 2: The Divine Purpose for Your Marriage. Feel free to grab the Wedding Message (Word Document).
