Monday Morning Quick Hits

  • I think Ben Arment wrote this with me in mind. No, I’m serious. I am a 2011 Dream Year Participant and you are reading one of the products of my journey. About a year ago I started looking at Dream Year knowing that I wanted to do something but having no idea how to get there, so thankful I (and Ben) took a chance.
  • Are you passionate about what you do?
  • Finding focus.
  • Real reasons young adults leave church.
  • Most Rookie Pastors struggle with worrying about what others think, and the rest are liars.
  • Great interview with N.T. Wright concerning his new book Simply Jesus. I read a lot of Wright and understand some of it, but in this book he returns to a common theme of speaking about the Kingdom in a full way and avoiding the reduction of the Gospel to something akin to hell avoidance. Rookie Pastors are quick to try and communicate ideas like this without first earning the right to do so, don’t make that mistake.
  • Religious lobbying is a $390 million industry.
  • Guy shares how death took away fear.
  • Piper on vision.
  • Nice chart and post on the different Bible translations.
  • Maybe young leaders just don’t want to inherit the megachurch.
  • Every Pastor has a fantasy job.

    I think you meant 390 Million, not Billion.
