- The Chicago Edition
Each week I have fun shooting the podcast. But this particular episode was special because we had the opportunity to do a Chicago special.
The concept of a Chicago special really didn’t come to me until Cathy and I got off the plane in Chicago. We had Andrew Marin booked to do the devotional and [...]
- The Mission of Less
Planet Wisdom Chicago was great. 2000 kids slammed into a building to be challenged by the word of God is always awesome. Going into it I knew that the team was passionate about the conference and I saw first hand why. It’s really cool! Lives were changed. It doesn’t get any better than that.
At the [...]
- The Gospel is Social
As I mentioned in my post last night, my head is spinning a little as I think about today’s evangelical church.
And yet I know that simply by saying that the evangelical church should stop doing church the way they currently that some people will instantly categorize my thought as “social gospel” in order to ignore [...]
- Engaing students online
Later this morning I’ll be jumping in on a conversation with Tim Schmoyer and a bunch of other youth ministry practicioners to lead a discussion on engaging studets online.
It’s actually something I started doing back in 1994. My first freshmen evangelism paper in college was about doing ministry online… so it’s something I’ve got [...]
- The stupidity of labels
A couple times a week someone asks me if I’m a liberal or a conservative. So I want to say this loud and clear. My name is Adam McLane, I want my label to be “Christ-follower.” You can call me crazy. You can call me radical. But liberal or conservative are stupid titles.
Here’s why the [...]
- Stumbling buddies
Last night we hosted our first community group with Harbor. I don’t have much else to say but this.
#1 It’s fun to host a small group after going to a church 3 weeks.
#2 I’m looking forward to having some people like me to stumble towards a deeper walk with Jesus with.Share this post
- Secret Sex
I’ve been around Christians long enough to know that they like to talk about sex. In fact, I know enough about internet traffic to know that only one thing is more popular than a post about sex. In fact, most of you are reading this because you clicked on a link with a keyword you [...]
- What’s up with “that church?”
I’ve had several people ask me about the church in Romeo, so here’s a quick update. I know a bunch of people who go there read my blog… so please feel free to fill in the blanks by leaving a comment.
Did the church close? Nope, they just changed their name.
Do they still have services? Yes, [...]
- Finding a church home: We think we’ve found it
For the first time in our adult life Kristen and I have had the chance to find a church with a tabula rosa. Well, that’s a sensationalist way to look at it since we’ve made the choice before but it was always complicated because it was both a church decision and an employment decision. And [...]
- Lies of Youth Ministry, Part One
Boys and girls in youth ministry we’ve got some problems. We in youth ministry, as a tribe, believe some lies about who we are, what we’re about, and how we should be reaching students. Let’s address these and move forward to fix them, OK?
#1 Your ministry is “successful” if you have 10% of Sunday morning [...]
