Rick Warren's Podcasts from the iTunes store sparked many thoughts in my mind.
Listening to Rick Warren's audio podcast on "Urban Ministry", several key points
- - lots of insights on urban issues, not blue vs white states, but urban vs suburban
- - highest unchurched state = 65%, but typical cities: 95% unchurched. If you are in NYC, 8X more likely going to hell.
- - effective evangelism, innovative, much of what I am aspired to.
- - pastors.com, to develop and help next generation pastoral network, preparation, and training.
- - Rick Warren has done the equivalent of VC, Angel Investing, Entrepreneurial support, incubating, consulting, etc, for the Christian faith community.
- - All my ideas about ministry technology and ministry innovation is mirrored by Rick Warren.
Many pastors and churches have this mentality that their congregation develops at their pace, which is largely true for most congregants, but this would mean a slow pace and that the pastor does everything. This assumes that people don't grow on their own, and limit their intake only from what the pastor provides.
We live in a world where the Web allows us to be nourished by many pastors out there, as well as books and authors from long ago. What is needed for the nurturing of lay leaders and rapidly growing Christian is not the adherence to the resources and schedules of a single church, pastor, or leader, but in the style of innovation, entrepreneurship, and gifted children program, to seek out resources, train and discipline with a variety of resources and coaches, learn from a myriad of masters (think Hero of Condor), and then, to compete and challenge with other similar disciplined students in meaningful contests, much like researchers present in conferences, to spur each other on to greater growth.
Hence, I see my service as developing MinTech and M-I to be a platform where people aspired to serious faith growth, to share resources and links, discuss the teachings and methods of various authors, coaches, leaders and masters, and grow together beyond the single church/pastor model.
