Exciting Things Folks!

Hey Everyone-

So we are fresh back off of our trip to Yosemite and the Fusco 4tet had a blessed time indeed.

I was just stopping in to let you all know something exciting.

I love talking and working with Church Planters. It's a great honor and privilege (as well as quite humbling) to have my inbox buzzed or my phone ring and to get to talk church planting ideas/strategy.

This past week I received phone calls from 3 Calvary Chapel Senior Pastors who are all contemplating transitioning out of their present fellowships to step on out and plant churches. It's exciting to see pastors seeking to honor God with their lives. It's also humbling that folks are referring people to me to talk through some of the logistics of transitioning. I find that I know what articles I need to write based on the conversations that I have. So while I continue to write the 'Perspectives on Church Planting' series, tomorrow I hope to begin a series of articles called 'Passing the Baton: Reflections for Pastors who are Praying about Stepping Out'.

On another front, I'm getting ready to do a series of talks at the fellowship (hopefully in June) to preach through the bones of the book that I've been praying about writing. It's a book about post post-modernity. I'm calling it the Integral World-view, following philosopher's Jean Gebser's terminology. It's already here and needs to be hashed out (by greater minds than my own). I'm hoping just to get the ball rolling.

I can use prayer on both fronts.

God bless you all.

Oh yeah, by the way, Twitter is up and running and great fun. You can find me there are just follow the shenanigans here on the blog.
