I decided to move the blog over to Wordpress for all of the obvious reasons.
This blog will no longer be updated and I'll eventually pull it down.

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.

A Quick Update
Hey Everyone-
Just wanted to take a few minutes to give everyone a quick update on a few things.
Calvary Church Planting Network
I've been both sensing from the Lord and have been recently encouraged to keep on writing for the edification of the body of Christ. So I've decided that I need to continue to use my time well and write. So I have written two new articles for the Church Planting Network (as well as posted Church Planting Specific Audio) as part of the Perspectives on Church Planting series. The two new articles are called 'Understanding Your Context' and 'Dealing with Numbers '. You can access these resources Here.
There is also a blog site for your discussion and edification. You can find the articles and blog Here.
Lord Willing I'll Begin to Write a Book on Post Post-modernity
A few posts ago, I mentioned some insights that the Lord has bestowed in regards to the emerging world-view that has been called in some circles, Integral. As the church grapples with post-modernity, many areas have already progressed past this. The area that I am in (the San Francisco Bay Area) was post-modern about 20 years ago. In an effort to get out ahead of this, I'm hoping to find some time to write a book about the topic. Not sure how that is going to happen (or that anyone either cares or would publish such a writing), but I'm trusting the Lord to give me the wisdom and wherewithal to accomplish this important task.
Calvary North Bay
The ministry here in Mill Valley is simply doing amazing. It is a great experience to be part of. The Lord is doing a very special work in this area. Here's our website. Please do me a favor and take a few minutes and pray for our leaders.
The Fusco Family
Obadiah just turned four years old. Maranatha is 11 months. Lynn is beautiful. I am a blessed man.
Calvary Chapel North Bay Men's Conference
I'm excited to announce that the Calvary Chapel's in the North Bay of San Francisco are putting on a one day Men's Conference on May 23rd called 'To Him Who Overcomes' at Calvary Chapel Petaluma, Petaluma, CA. The Speakers will be Dave Rolph, Bill Holdridge, Zach Vestnys, and Yours Truly. Please keep this in your prayers.
What I Am...
Reading
- Leviticus and Revelation (very light reading, I know)
- Feed My Sheep - A Passionate Plea for Preaching by Various Authors
* All I can say is 'Wow!'. If you are a teacher, run, don't walk to get this one
- The New Testament and the People of God by NT Wright
* Still working through this one. The Bishop of Durham is way to verbose sometimes, but there is some amazing historical exegesis in this volume.
- The Revolution by Ron Paul
* A very interesting read and NY Times #1 Bestseller
Listening to
- Sermons by Alistair Begg
- 'Romans in a Week' by NT Wright
- Podcasts by Ken Wilbur and Andrew Cohen (Integral Philosophy Pundits)
- Keith Jarrett - Live at the Blue Note - The Complete Recordings
- I've been dreaming of Nirvana's Nevermind lately.
Well God bless you all
