A Couple Notes of Interest
Jay Guin has a fabulous post on CENI with some great followup comments by Edward Fudge and John Mark Hicks. If you know what CENI is then you probably want to read it. If you don’t have a clue what CENI means then move on to the next link. Imonk, Michael Spenser, has highlighted Church […]
Addressing Changing Ways Young Adults Envision a Biblical Model of Church
I think this quote from Dan Kimball’s Emerging Worship says it well, More and more emerging generations who were raised in the church are saying that there must be something more to “church” than what they have experienced. The systems we use to teach them how to be disciples of Jesus are not connected with […]
Parable of the Sea
Dan Kimball mentioned this video this past week on his blog Vintage Faith. It is called the Parable of the Sea and I think it is an excellent and eye opening video about church and what we can unwittingly turn church into. Lately, the word “institution” has been big in online circles in reference to […]
Restoration Repackaged With Vintage Language
One of the things I really like about reading Dan Kimball is his plea for things to be “Vintage”. He sees value in looking to scripture for ideals in how we live, worship, and develop our theology. Sound familiar? Sounds a little like the roots of the church of Christ. We have been asking for […]
Dan Kimball Reflects on Emerging Church
Dan Kimball is taking a few posts to reflect on Emerging Church and what has changed in his perspective over the last 5 to 7 years. What he has to say is really interesting and I thought many of you might be interested in reading his thoughts and what he thinks is down the pipe.

Rob Bell’s Nooma Complete Now What?
This Sunday we are doing the last of the Nooma videos in our 20s and 30s class. Those things have been tremendous. If you haven’t seen them yet and work with this age group please do. So what’s next? I had a conversation with Mike, our devo coordinator, last week and he brought up about […]
Dan Kimball on the Importance of Dialogue in Reaching Post-Christians
I really thought this quote from Dan Kimball hit the nail on the head, “We must cultivate a culture that allows dialogue. Evangelicals have been criticized–many times rightly so–for being dogmatic and closed-minded. For too long we have been doing all the talking, without any dialogue. We are now serving new generations that have serious […]
Churches of Christ and the Emerging Culture
As I read Dan Kimball’s book on the Emerging Church a few things stand out to me that I thought I would mention here: 1 – There is a cultural shift that is taking place and more people are unchurched in America. We are one of the largest mission fields in the world. Missionaries will […]
