Is it possible to ask God a question and receive an answer through prayer? The author's response is intertwined throughout a series of engaging personal anecdotes. Some are faith-affirming, some are cautionary, and some are guaranteed to leave the reader laughing out loud; but they all revolve around the pivotal moment of his life, when he made the attempt, and reached out to God in prayer asking what he should do. The astonishing answer that he received precipitated a life-changing spiritual upheaval which is deftly depicted here through the author's undeniable narrative gift, one he honed as a playwright. His episodic approach defies categorization, as he fires off stories haphazardly. This is not a memoir with seamless segues; it is rather an edifying grab bag of raw events. The book is intended both for those who believe in God as well as those who have no intention of ever getting religion, but who wonder why anyone in their right mind would and what that might look like from the inside. Soon after completing this book, and, ironically, deciding on the final cover design, the author was diagnosed with esophageal adenocarcinoma, which offers little hope for a successful course of treatment. He is content to leave the matter in God's hands, though he intends to fight to stay with the love of his life, his wife, Tetiana.

We desperately need more pastors and churches as Christianity continues to disintegrate in the United States and Europe. At the very same time, the old pools of resources are drying up and the antiquated systems of supporting emerging leaders are becoming less and less accessible. How do those who sense a call from God to ministry move forward in the face of these realities?Many pastors and ministry leaders have begun to do ministry part-time. In some circles the co-vocational ministry movement is being pumped up as the next new thing. To others, working a job outside of ministry feels like failure, or at best, a necessary evil. But in all circles, part-time pastoring is on the rise.Andy and Sean are not new to this conversation. They have been living the bi-vocational life for much of their ministry careers. In this little book you'll find their stories, reflections, lessons learned, and encouragements for those considering part-time pastoring themselves. Whether you are moving toward Christian leadership, making a career change, or supporting someone who is, you'll find Part-Time Pastoring to be a helpful invitation to consider the possibilities, the pitfalls, and God's faithfulness amidst it all.

Awkwrd: Uncomfortable Conversations in Church Planting That We Avoid

I've had more awkward and uncomfortable conversations with church planters than I can count. Often times we're sitting in a coffee shop where in hushed tones we talk about the kinds of topics that everyone knows about ... but no one really wants to say out loud. These are the elephant-in-the-room types of conversations. You don't hear these questions and topics in typical denominational meetings, church planting conferences, network meetings, and more. Questions like ... Why do white church planters get more funding than minority planters? Why do church planters avoid low-income communities as a whole and instead plant in hip gentrified neighborhoods or nice suburbs? Why do most church planters fail (even though we're told otherwise)? Why is there so much competition between church planters over fundraising and resources? Why do church planters succumb to celebrity culture? Why? AWKRD was written in order to bring to light the kinds of conversations we're all having ... but no one says out loud publicly. It is time. I invite you into the conversation. Let's make a commitment to say these things out loud so we can change them ... for the betterment of our communities and the furtherance of the gospel
Often times books on theology offer a map of sorts of territory explored. There's a finality. "X" marks the spot. Treasure found. We know from church history that most of theology was hammered on the anvil of life and ministry as we sorted out what we believe and why. This happens as we're confronted with new territory and reality. On the Backside of the Desert is a theology book. In particular, a theology of church planting. Too often, books on church planting are how-to's, techniques, models, and success stories. Instead, we're starting from the beginning. The foundation. The origin story of church planting. Throughout On the Backside of the Desert, we'll together explore different doctrines as we map out a theology of church planting. The goal is to inform the what, how, and why of church planting. Theological foundation plus cultural exegesis and contextualization then leads to application.
