		<description><![CDATA[One important step in rethinking the local church from a fresh biblical perspective, is to go back to a biblical leadership model--one that eschews hierarchy, position, and authority, and embraces instead relational experience over time to provide trust and persuadability among one another. To consider a community of saints that foundationally begins with mutual submission and mutual ministry expectations among all the saints as normative.

NT leadership resides in Jesus Christ. His leadership is spread throughout the saints, so that leadership on the physical level doesn't come from above or beneath, it comes from within. Elders (overseers, pastors, bishops) are those who, by their manner of life and by the experiences of the saints over time, have earned respect by their care and service. They are then in a position of public influence and persuasion, but not of positional power of an office like we have in the world.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll admit, this seems like making a fuss over nothing.
I&#8217;m used to having business cards in the world of work. It is a convenient way to exchange contact information, and it&#8217;s expected. Of course, you want good quality stock and a good looking layout/color scheme, etc. The card represents you. Maybe creating a &#8220;Christian business [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, so I started digging around for ideas and resources from others who are working to reach apartment communities. Rather stunned to learn that in cities:

Just over half the people live in apartments vs homes (within city limits)
40% of those in homes are considered &#8220;churched&#8221;
Only 5% of those in apartments are &#8220;churched&#8221;

Gave me chills. Kept [...]]]></description>

&#62; 1. What does it mean to be mobile?&#62; Mobility should be considered in regards to the work, and not the worker.&#62; The work involves temporarily assisting churches being planted or temporarily assisting churches working [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a lot of talk about being missional and incarnational today. The fact is, all Christians are missional and incarnational by virtue of being His and being left in the world. We may be inadvertently and unintentionally sending some ugly messages about God and the Gospel. I think the point is to be intentional about these things.]]></description>
