John Stott's 51st and final book is a call to deeper discipleship

John Stott’s The Radical Disciple

By Jason Fowler on 05/26/2010

In The Radical Disciple, John Stott comes across not as one who is criticizing the Church for it’s failures, but as an aging apostolic father in the faith who is gathering his children around to humbly impart his blessing and prophetic legacy to a new generation…

How is the Gospel good news for your local area?

Viral Hope: Interview With JR Woodward

By Jason Fowler on 05/25/2010

The Good News took on flesh and blood and grew up in a particular town, and the greatest need in our day is to have living, breathing, communities of faith, that enflesh the good news in specific localities. To follow Jesus is to incarnate the Good News in the real places that we live…

Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove: Christian Community

By Jason Fowler on 05/17/2010

I appreciate Jonathan’s down to earth perspective here on intentional Christian community and how we must practically embody our theology in the everyday nuts and bolts of life and relationships.

Can community gardens play a role in church renewal? (montage: J Fowler)

Cultivating Community In GOD’s Gardens

By Jason Fowler on 04/22/2010

Adam was placed in a garden GOD planted Himself. Today GOD is again placing His people in gardens. This Christian community based agriculture can be a powerful shift in how we function as local expressions of GOD’s kingdom. These farms and gardens can serve as places of spiritual renewal…

Are we living out of an abridged Gospel story? (image: J Fowler)

Re-Reading The Unabridged Gospel

By Jason Fowler on 03/11/2010

Somehow we’ve boiled the good news of GOD’s kingdom down to a hyper-personalized fire insurance policy for eternity- with very little implications for the ‘here and now’. Or we boil it down to…

Wendell Berry: Gardening as Health Regimen and Holy Sacrament

By Craig Goodwin on 03/10/2010

If I could impose my will on every American for the sake of the environment it wouldn’t be to change light bulbs or mandate carbon footprints. My mandate would be for every American to start a garden and grow their own food

Tending To Eden: Interview With Scott Sabin

By Jason Fowler on 03/03/2010

We asked Scott a few questions based on his new book and are grateful for his timely perspective on the link between environmental degradation and poverty, the future and mission of the church at large, and what it means to humbly merge JESUS’ Great Commandment with His Great Commission…

Are you in a season where GOD is calling you back to basics?

Desert Island Discs With a Pinch of Spice

By Carl Peet on 03/03/2010

Yahweh gave us a simple formula, Love Him and love people. And in our zeal we can over-complicate things and get out of sync with His direction and pace for our lives.
