Advice from me? Are you kidding?

Chris Reeder contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if I would guest post on his blog.  His question - what advice would you give someone who is called to plant a church but has no idea what he's doing (or something like that).

Im not sure why he thought I would be a good planter to answer that - except for the "has no idea what he's doing" part!  So among some really cool guys, Chris posted my thoughts here

Honestly I think I could write a book called "Church planting for the rest of us"  Im pretty sure I could teach a conference on how not to plant a church.  Maybe I could do a session called "My last church plant failed and Im stupid enough to do it again but I still suck at it"  Seriously I made a lot of mistakes - still do - but its one heck of a ride and I wouldnt change anything (well I should have listened to my own advice - and the advice from the rest of the guys.)

Read them here: 

Paul Peterson, Walls Down Church, Cincinnati
Dustin Willis, Midtown Fellowship, Columbia, SC
Jay Hardwick, Columbia, SC
J.R. Lee, Freedom Church, Acworth, GA
Chris Elrod, Compass Point Church, Lakeland, FL

Thanks for doing this Chris!

You are correct about the "has no idea what he's doing" part. ;-)
