“Hi-Jacked” Part 1
I have been doing a lot of thinking over the past few weeks about how we, as Americans, have taken things that were never meant to be about US…and made them about…US. Interesting, right? The first two that come to mind are things you have most likely been thinking about lately as well: Thanksgiving, Christmas, [...]

“Underground Church” Newsletter…
A UNLV journalism student put together this newletter about “Intentional Gatherings” and the “Vegas Valley Missional Community Network“. Hopefully it will begin to circulate throughout Las Vegas and begin to connect the other simple/home/organic churches or “missional communities” in the Valley.

More Greatness From “CPM’s”
So I have some issues that I have been meaning to blog about, but keep coming across this amazing stuff in the book, “Church Planting Movements” that is so much much better than anything I have to say.

Thank You “Church Planting Movements”…
As you may know I have been slowly reading through a wonderful book by David Garrison called, “Church Planting Movements“. This book is brilliant, and prophetic. I came across something this morning that encouraged me, and gave me much hope for the future… “Converts are put on a pew while they demonstrate their conversion through years [...]

Old “BobCast” now posted!

Word on the Street…
I received this comment through an email from a young guy who has been exploring what it looks like to live in Gospel Centered Community in one of our I.G. families over the past couple of months. This was his response after me giving him a hard time about being so quiet during worship gatherings. [...]

City-Wide Missional Community Network
Two years ago there was only about one group of people pursuing simple/organic/house church, or what we call “missional community”, in Las Vegas. It was Apex Church. When Intentional Gatherings moved into town we were told by many in the city that we were “crazy”, and that the vision of seeing “MC’s” multiplied throughout the [...]

May Legitimization & Release Be The Fuel…
In Austin there are some students at UT who are committed to seeing the Gospel spread in a simple/reproducible way that brings light to darkness and life the death.

“Tension Wood”
“Tension Wood“, replied my friend when I asked him what the technical term was for what had happened to the below pine tree… Let’s talk “missional” - Morgan and I became close friends with our neighbors across the street a few months ago. They are not a project. They are not a charity case. We are [...]
