“What would you do differently if you could do it over?” The question that begs an answer and creates learning. Scot Thomas at Acts 29 Network has two posts and a third to come on 7 things he would do differently if he was planting a church today. Thanks to Linda for sharing the link. I’m intersted to hear what you all think about Thomas’s learnings.
I have only seen the first part but it really resonates with my soul. I am particularly drawn to the line of connecting with God as I have connected with culture. I think it was Henri Nouwen who called us to be aware of the temptation to be relevant over obedient to the call of God. I find that if I do not focus on drawing close to God, I get intoxicated with the challenge to connect with culture. Yet when I have drawn close to God, I find myself risking greater vulnerability to those around me regardless of the context.
