Place Matters: The Parish Collective on Churches, Places, and Spaces (video)

By Jason Fowler on 04/05/2012

I recently had the privilege of meeting Paul Sparks of the Parish Collective when he was visiting the East Coast….I looked up and saw Jeremiah 29:7, inscribed on the building, which says: “Seek the peace of the city where I have sent you, for in it’s welfare, you will find your welfare”…

For Church Leaders In Denial [video]

For Church Leaders In Denial [video]

By Jason Fowler on 07/19/2010

By Jason Fowler on 05/27/2010

Jesus proclaimed: ‘Repent for the kingdom is at hand’. Our vision of this coming kingdom and it’s in-breaking in the here and now powerfully affects how we seek to live it out. What are your ideas of GOD’s kingdom? What are your kingdom imaginations?

The world outside our walls needs a pastor...a pastor in the form of a people.

Claudio Oliver: Who Needs A Pastor?

By Claudio Oliver on 03/26/2010

I believe the world outside our walls needs a pastor, not a professional one, but a pastor in the form of a people, a people trained “to be there”, while working and living their everyday lives…being the very presence of the Lord in the world…
