Interesting survey was posted on Gallup's site today. The survey speaks to the level of importance that "religion" holds in a persons life within and by state. You can find the complete article here.
Enjoy!
Pretty much a one way conversation (I guess that would be a monologue) on all things church, congregations, communities, cells and any other form of gathering that happen to take place. Mostly concerned about the health of the church and the people that consider themselves Christ followers.

Mad Church Disease
If you are someone that is deeply involved ministry on a day-to-day basis, you need to know about a new book written by Anne Jackson titled, Mad Church Disease. Anne's book is a refreshing treatise on the subject of burnout, breakdown and madness of schedule within the ministry context.
Many texts treat the subject of ministry burnout academically and somewhat formulaic. Anne on the other hand, approaches the subject with a first hand, personal experience credibility. Not only is Anne's book credible from an experiential point of view, but it's credible as a product that dispenses spot-on recommendations. Here is a link to one of Anne's websites. That should help you on your way. Enjoy

Fresh Start
I have had two other blogs that I've chosen to abandon. I wanted a fresh start on a more focused venue. There is so much to cover when considering the church and all those who consider themselves part of the church, I just couldn't resist creating this new blog.
I work with the church and its' pastors for a living. I love what I do and hope through this blog to provide information to those who stop by that will be helpful to them in their journey as a Christ Follower.
