FREE Derek Webb

So I have had this new Derek Webb CD for a while and I really can't get enough of it today at least. You can get it 100% free at www.freederekwebb.com

One of the great things that has got be back to going on it is the recent posts by the Sojourners interns on the God's Politics Blog. The interns went down to the SOA protests in Georgia over the weekend and have posted some excellent essays on what the experience has meant to them. Derek Webb hits so right on about the radical nature of being a Christian in the United States right now. And if you don't mind a slightly folksy guitar strumming, you might really enjoy the music and the message. Check it out.

Cranking on "Missional"

A classmate, a professor and I have been thinking and exchanging thoughts on "missional" in my Intro to Ministry class. I keep on coming across good stuff so I am going to actually resurrect this never before alive blog and try to interact with some of the other stuff I am finding. We'll see if my time committment sustains this or not. I am really excited about this post of ten things one will not find in a missional church found on David Fitch's blog.

We are trying to analyze whether a congregation we are visiting actually is missional or maintenance. These ten standards help a lot. Read and respond if you get a chance.
