Forgotten God? Forget God? Remember who?

I have been reading a lot of Francis Chan's writing this year. In fact, our entire church is reading the books of Francis Chan. Our small groups have read Crazy Love, and now we're reading Forgotten God.
As a new church, we've attracted people from various backgrounds, e.g. Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Pentecostal, Baptist, Catholic, non-Denominational, and the unchurched. Our church is so diverse! It's beautiful. But with this diversity comes different theological understandings, especially on the Holy Spirit. As a result, we decided as a church to spend the summer in dialogue about the Holy Spirit, and we felt that Forgotten God by Francis Chan was a good conversation starter.
So far we are 3 weeks into our study, and it has been amazing so far!
You can read the Intro and Chapter 1 on the Forgotten God website.
"How Coaching Works"

I recently completed training to be a coach for new church planters/pastors through the Coaching Academy. I find that this video is very helpful in understanding how coaching works.
Prayer: talk or listen?
Labels:
prayer
Have you ever paid attention to your prayers? I mean, have you realized what you're saying when you pray?
So many times we are so wrapped up in talking with God, asking and requesting "stuff," that we don't stop and shut up so we can hear God's voice.
I came across this video, and found it not only to be funny, but quite true.
