Church Planting Canada
Last week I was in Vancouver Canada at a gathering for Church Planting Canada addressing crucial issues in church planting. It was very encouraging to see the number of people who were actually practitioners seeking to be incarnational and missional. I talked about...
Who prays for you?
Who do you have who prays for you? What intercessors are a part of your life? Doug prays every Tuesday for one hour and I know I’m included in that time he spends before God. I recently received a word from Doug that had the unmistakable ring of truth. Let’s not...
The Map
Everyone says, “We need to live differently. We need to live more incarnationally, more missionally?” But what does that look like? And how do we actually do it? What are the key indicators that we’re moving in the right direction? We see the need. Now we need the...
Release the Work of God
*Practice generosity *Foster new movements *Invest in the next generation This last of the 12 footsteps of Jesus may be the hardest it some ways. It’s about letting go, recognizing that for however much work we may have put into this whole thing, it’s not ours....

Involve Others
Involve Others *Identify the right people *Invest in their development *Encourage and challenge them Once we have been involved in ministry and found our focus, we need to involve others in ministry as well. Ministry, regardless of the form it takes, is never a...
Find your focus
Find your Focus *Identify your passion *Create a growth plan *Commit to excellence Once we have fallen down enough times, odds are we’ll start to get the hang of something. You have to be bad at many things before you can be good at one thing. Maybe a round of student...
Make a Difference
Make a Difference *Show up *Do something *Give of yourself Following in the footsteps of Jesus is not passive—it’s active. Making a difference is the exploratory first step toward finding our calling. To find out what unique contribution God has for us to make in this...
Make Disciples
Discern spiritual curiosity Share the story of Jesus Help others follow Jesus Seeing as it was the last thing Jesus told us to do before his ascension, we should spend some quality time thinking through what it means to make disciples. How do we make disciples? What...
