		<title>Consumer church. . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw an interesting post on Twitter from a pastor the other day that basically asked about the effectiveness of using a Net Promoter Score at his church. If you&#8217;ve never been inside the retail world, let me get you caught up. The Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a metric used to determine customer satisfaction [...]]]></description>

		<title>What if. . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Somehow I think we&#8217;re missing the point when it comes to church. Could it be that it is actually something completely different than what we&#8217;ve believed it to be these last 1700 years?]]></description>

		<title>Wherever you go. . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Every Christian is either a missionary or an impostor.” ~ Charles Spurgeon In my previous post I mentioned every Christian&#8217;s responsibility to follow the mission of Jesus. Sadly, we&#8217;ve shifted our focus to the wrong things. We&#8217;ve lost the urgency of our calling quite a bit since the Edict of Milan passed in AD 313. [...]]]></description>

		<title>We&#8217;re not in Christendom anymore. . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the problems plaguing the Western Church is her propensity for neglecting to teach Christians that their primary role as followers of a Missionary-God is missionary to the culture in which he has placed them. Because of this neglect, she has failed to train her people to follow Christ&#8217;s command to &#8220;Go. . . [...]]]></description>

		<title>Non-Christian missionaries. . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the last few weeks I&#8217;ve been thinking about this idea of &#8220;inviting a friend to church.&#8221; Okay, so I&#8217;ll admit it, I was never truly comfortable with the thought of inviting my non-Christian friends to my church. The whole thing just seemed a little weird to me. &#8220;Hey, so what are you doing on [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s been a while. . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First off, let me apologize for being pretty much nonexistent on my blog for a while. It&#8217;s been an insanely busy and hectic year (and it&#8217;s about to get even busier and crazier). I want to update you on a few things. First off, a lot has changed in me over the last year. Let [...]]]></description>

		<title>Anime Jesus. . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I kinda wish that title were a reference to something cool. . . that the phrase &#8220;Anime Jesus&#8221; was a metaphor for something amazing I saw in real life. Actually, no. It&#8217;s literally an Anime Jesus. I thought that since Holy Week is starting tomorrow, it&#8217;d be nice to post a reminder of what Jesus [...]]]></description>

		<title>A conversation. . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I sat down for lunch yesterday with two fantastic guys that I work with: Mike, the Associate Pastor of Missional Connection at Emergence, and Anthony, the Emergence Church Planting Intern. We had an awesome conversation at lunch about incarnational/missional living and reaching our culture, and I thought I&#8217;d share a little bit of it with [...]]]></description>
