New article posted ... "The Difference Between a Church Planting Pastor and a Church Planting Missionary." (Link in profile) . Yes, long title. . Hopefully it caught your attention. Not for click bait reasons but because of genuine interest. It is a title and conversation worth having. You see, how you self-identify tells me everything about your approach to church planting. Not only that, what you talk about tells me what kind of planter you are. . Are you ready? Let’s give this a whirl. . #churchplant #churchplanter #churchplanting #missions #missional #intrepid #intrepidmissions #thetablenetwork #bivocational #ministry
New article up on intrepidmissions.com ... "The Maker Movement and Economic Development" (link in bio). . Why is this conversation even important? “The maker movement is commanding attention and resources in city halls across the nation. The term making refers to the design and fabrication of consumer products, often via newly accessible technologies.” . #churchplant #churchplanter #churchplanting #missions #missional #gospel #ministry #communitydevelopment #artisan #artisaneconomy #maker #communitydevelopment
New article ... "Outer Rim of Christendom" (link in profile) . While for many would-be church planters urban areas are (to them) their new frontier, I’m always reminded of the vast frontier before us. What is this frontier? The hinterlands. These could be overlooked neighborhoods within cities or even rural areas that people simply don’t have on their radars. This is what I call the “outer rim of Christendom.” . #churchplant #churchplanter #churchplanting #intrepid #intrepidmissions #thetablenetwork #missions #missional #ministry #gospel
Intrepid was started as a way to rethink not only church planting in places like North America (and beyond), but to do so with a missionary and entrepreneurial mindset. In other words, to throw out a lot of the "rules" of church planting and instead plant churches, make disciples, launch businesses, and jump into community economic development endeavors like we would if we were missionaries and entrepreneurs "over there." That is the underlying ethos of Intrepid. . . #churchplant #churchplanter #churchplanting #missions #missional #intrepid #intrepidmissions #teammissions #thetablenetwork #communitydevelopment #gospel #ministry
New article up on intrepidmissions.com ... "Planting From the Harvest Necessitates a Bivocational Approach." (Link in profile) . I always like pointing out the unwritten rules of church planting. You know … the “musts” of church planting … kickin’ band, strong social media game, cool hip pastor with the right tattoos or facial hair, and so on. Don’t have that? Well, good luck trying to be a “successful church planter.” You’ll underperform because you’re not as cool as the planter down the street. Not only that, but there are unspoken conversations that no one really dares to say out loud. Here’s one … “No one really plants from the harvest.” Ouch. . #churchplant #churchplanter #churchplanting #missions #missional #ministry #intrepid #intrepidmissions #thetablenetwork
New article up at intrepidmissions.com ... "Where Have All the Pioneers Gone?" (Link in profile) . A follow-up question would then be … are there any places left in the U.S. and Canada for pioneer church planters? I’d answer with a resounding “YES!” But the problem though is … they’re not cool nor alluring nor would be a pathway for a self-sustaining church. But should those then be the determining factors? . #churchplant #churchplanter #churchplanting #missions #missional #ministry #intrepid #intrepidmissions #thetablenetwork #gospel
"Within any industry, occupation, or discipline there are outliers or disruptors who break from the norm to do something fresh and new. There is a disruption currently taking place within church planting. Part of it is centered on this notion of bi-vocationalism. This goes beyond the need for church planters to work at jobs they hate to pay the bills while they’re planting. It’s also more than simply making money. More and more church planters, who are by nature entrepreneurial, are thinking about and asking how to work in industries or start something that not only carries them financially, but is actually part of the church-planting process." –– Intrepid book . #churchplant #churchplanter #churchplanting #missions #missional #ministry #church #localchurch #bivocational #covocational #startup #socialentrepreneur #communitydevelopment #intrepid #intrepidmissions #thetablenetwork
New article up on intrepidmissions.com ... "Why the Bivo Conversation Needs to Shift" (link in profile). . We talk a lot about bivo in the sense of church planters and pastors getting jobs and thinking missiologically about them. Often times these jobs are at places and in industries where the church leader has little to no background, experience, education, or training. Instead, I believe the pivot needs to focus on being proactive in pursuing bivocational ministry by creating something of meaning (to you and the community) that not only benefits you financially, but gives you a platform to engage relationally with people in your city, neighborhood, or town. . #churchplant #churchplanter #churchplanting #missions #missional #ministry #localchurch #pastor #bivocational #covocational #intrepid #intrepidmissions #thetablenetwork #communitydevelopment #startup #socialentrepreneur #makerspace
