@AKAJaneRandom I would be livid.

A lot of churches are perfectly positioned to reach a culture that no longer exists.

I'm not all that interested in future church trends or new growth techniques. For 2000 years, the most relevant church has always been the one gathering around a table, caring for the neighborhood, following the words and ways of Jesus.

One of the biggest turns in my life was when I realized "I don't need to prove I'm right, to be right." I can offer my perspective and let it linger out there—no need to push, persuade, or power-up.

@AKAJaneRandom Ours did that too!!!!! It’s so so so small. Lol.

@lyndsaydoodlez @TeamRedstone Heard it around UAH too.

Leadership Development is not the same as Discipleship and getting these two confused has gutted the soul of the Church.

@sarahyawctrc The puzzle analogy was spot on. Figuring out things as you go but the info changes daily. It’s overwhelming.

@AKAJaneRandom My FYP 1) Taylor Swift 2) Cats 3) Books to read 4) Rug cleaning 5) Mom life 6) Strangers singing covers really well 🤷🏻‍♀️

@jfkantrowitz I’m an enneagram 3 and I am not a bad person. 😅

Enneagram check! Type “I’m an Enneagram [number] and I” and let your phone fill in the rest. “I’m an Enneagram four and I have no idea how much to take care of myself.”

Listening to “out of the woods” by @taylorswift13 in the car and my oldest asks “mom- why doesn’t she just open her eyes and look and see if she’s out yet?” 😅

@AKAJaneRandom My favorite movie growing up!!

@sarahyawctrc So sorry! 💔

Church Planting 101: You can have a great band, 50K in the bank, a compelling vision, snazzy website, preaching skillz, and a great venue BUT if you're emotionally immature you're gonna hurt a lot of people.

@_the_last_echo_ 4. But I wouldn’t be angry about 5 either.

@Andrewols I did attend a breakout session a few weeks ago at a conference about being a trauma informed leader that I found really helpful.

@Andrewols Lol. I hope not. I haven’t seen it at any of the ones I’ve been to lately 😬
