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.
