my link list

I have so many blogs now, I'm starting to lose track of where I'm posting. Here's a few:

• emerging leadership network


• transformation journal


• IMPACT - I used blogger beta to create a website for this non-profit


• Discipleship Matters Conference - I also used blogger beta to create a website for this conference at my church

seeker-sensitive

I'm actually hyper-sensitive when I read or participate in discussions about how, when, why, where churches should, could, would approach the de-churched, the un-churched, the "seekers". The way some people talk about it and write about it, seeking usually sounds like kind of a bad thing, a less than thing, as if someone seeking is in need of remedial intervention. So, I loved finding the Wineskins for Discipleship blog that has recharacterized "seeker".

This is no longer someone out there seeking a church; a target of ministry campaigns to bring them in and convert them to membership. This is someone seeking the spiritual dimension of discipleship, whether it is an "unchurched" or "de-churched" person who is looking for answers by trying out churches or a "churched" person who finds they are lacking in this dimension of their faith journey. Seeking is actually a discipleship goal!
