Every year Churchplanters.com hosts an amazing conference for churchplanters and their teams. Hosted at Mountain Lake Church in Cumming, Georgia and founded by David Putman and Shawn Lovejoy this is sure to be a great learning opportunity and point of connection.

I encourage any churchplanter to attend this conference.

This year pastors and church leaders like Alan Hirsch, Chris Hodges, John Shepherd, Tony Morgan, JD Greear, and many more will be leading conversations on leadership and church planting.

Hope to see you there!

Had an energizing meeting with Dr. Hill today. So excited about the imminent future of Cultural Pioneering.

Over the past year our team has been developing a new face for Cultural Pioneering formerly known as America Ablaze. Check it out by click here.

“When Strong Men Wept” is the first in a new series from Dr. Michael B. Knight calling for the reengineering of the Pentecostal/Charismatic community of faith. It has had a long and illustrious history since its humble beginnings. There is a call for reform within her ranks. The sensational self-serving counterparts often noted within her organizations have crippled her effectiveness in the North American culture. She stands in danger of becoming what she once stood adamantly against, prideful, excessive, manipulative, self-serving and sensational. Her influence, purity and post-modern cultural alignment stand too valuable of an asset in the wake of a post-Christian culture to let her drift into irrelevance. This is a call for her to return to her roots of humility, self-sacrifice and character. This book outlines the principles of leadership needed for her safe passage towards such a future. Broken leaders make effective Christian leaders. The implications are enormous. The salvation and reengineering of Christendom’s most effective arm of evangelization lie within her future wake.
