Chris Bishop

So I have begun to read a book called “it–how churches and leaders can get it and keep it.”  The author is the founder of lifechurch.tv which has some really awesome resources.  I was interested in this text because this guy was a United Methodist pastor with Methodist roots.

I really resonate with a ton of what he has said in the frost 40 pages or so.  I think that there is something “it” that some churches have and others don’t.  I would be quick to say that a couple of the ingredients that go into “it” are authenticity, passion and an overwhelming love for Christ.

I have been wondering if my church has it or not and the thing that I keep coming to is that we have people that come to our ministries and it is in some ways infectious.  I don’t know what we do but there is something that draws people to MUMC.  I think that we can do a ton better but I do think that we do have something special.  I am interested in seeing where he goes with the book.  Check it out with the link from my side bar.
