If we get evangelism, discipleship, and community formation wrong in church, what are some of the problems we see downstream?
(I'm writing an article for next week on this...)
About halfway through so far, but @toddwilson's latest book is an incredible insight into the church growth movement, and the culture that is still with us. What's also great is that you can grab a free copy here: https://t.co/cxMneLdozE
Church planting can be challenging, but we were never meant to do it alone. Join us as pastors, planters, and Acts 29 leaders from around the world gather online to pray for church planting together. As a network on mission, we are strengthened in moments like this as we encourage one another to persevere on mission in making disciples and planting churches worldwide.

@DavyEllison@Logos I've found @Logos to be really great at guidance and new features. Plus, it might not be a bad idea to get some of your writing on there.
Hey @Logos, Davy is a really accomplished theological academic and author with some fantastic work in the OT!
@LittleLauraMcK It's been a 'fear' about the mapping. If it just helps us to tell 'sadder' stories about the needs in Ireland, then it is a failed project.
It is becoming quite obvious that we as Christians are becoming very adept at pointing out problems and voicing our convictions... I think at this stage we need to plan out and live out how we are going to 'do' something in light of our convictions...
@LittleLauraMcK Ha! Great minds once again! It's been something I've been noodling on for a bit now. We have great ideas and intentions, but unless we see a clear pathway for how they work out, it'll never work into a repeatable culture.
Since I've been working on the Irish Church Map, I've had a few conversations with folks who are thinking through becoming church planting churches! God is so good!
The Irish Church Map is live! I’ll share reflections in the coming weeks, but for now: have a look, send corrections, and ask questions... Please share!
