It cannot be done
I love Chinese food. The food is good – but my favorite part is the fortune cookie. I’m amused by them. I secretly think it would be a fun job to write the sayings for the fortune cookies. We all know that somewhere out there are a small group of people who sit in a...
Live research subjects
I get live subjects to research on, which—as a former chemistry major—is very exciting. I just met a guy who is connected to a network of maybe 40-some church planters in southern California, and I can meet with them, interview them, and observe them. I want to...
A brilliant idea for business people
Here’s an idea for how you can help the business leaders in your congregations make a huge kingdom investment. Often we just ask business people for their money. What if we asked them for jobs instead? If successful business people could create 25-hour-a-week jobs on...
What is church?
What is church? How do you define it? How do you know when you see it? Which of these is church? A house? A big traditional building? A coffee shop? A street?
Acting your way into a new way of thinking
Values are critical-- not just what you say but what you own. You don't think your way into a new way of acting; you act your way into a new way of thinking. Say you want your church to be more missional. You have to start doing it. You personally-- even if...

Missio Intensive
This week I am taking part in the Missio Intensive in Denver. Here's the link in case you don't know what that is. I'm helping facilitate the breakout groups, and can I just say that I love this stuff? I love the part where after getting some great new ideas and...
Who am I serving?
I recently went on vacation to Greece. No wonder Paul wrote that Cretans were gluttons - there are some excellent restaurants on the island of Crete. (Titus 1:12-13) But the one question that kept coming to mind while I was there was, "Who am I serving?"...
My Blog Vision
So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become...
Meet Bob
Hi, I'm Bob. You may remember me as the author of the Church Planter's toolkit. I began my journey in church planting in the late 70’s, and have spent 3 decades developing various ministry and leadership resources. However, I prefer not to be thought of as an old...
