		<title>Worship in Haiti&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Get ready for this&#8230;the sunday after the earthquake, a pastor went to the field across from his church that was destroyed and started preaching.

		<title>Disciple is a ruined word</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The core competency of any movement is apprenticeship. This fundamental principle of reproduction is so often and so easily overlooked.

		<title>Objective Truth thanks to the NFL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I was watching an NFL game something occurred to me. When I am watching a team that I am cheering for, rarely do I see things objectively.

		<title>Hate the double greeting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The double greeting is a pretty common illness that infects ministers and speakers at the very beginning of the message. Here&#8217;s what it looks like: Minister: &#8220;Good morning!&#8221; Crowd: &#8220;Good morning.&#8221; Minister: (Sensing that the crowd&#8217;s volume or enthusiasm did not meet his expectation, he decides to shame everyone into a more adequate response.) &#8220;I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do What I Want</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am not perfect. I struggle with things just like everyone else. I want to change, but I find myself giving excuses for the things that I want to do.

It&#8217;s clear we are made to be relational. But how do we know we are &#8220;relationally intelligent?&#8221; One piece of evidence is that we decide to invest large chunks [...]]]></description>

		<title>Re-thinking for Church Leaders</title>
