Moving beyond what we can do
11 November, 2011 – 7:40 PM
A few years ago I visited friends who had chosen to live and work in the slums of a major South American city. I was deeply impressed with their commitment to serve among the poor as a family, despite the high levels of crime and disease. They were a living witness to God’s presence in [...]

Leadership without power
10 February, 2010 – 4:05 PM
Where did we get the idea that the best way to train a church planter was to take them out of their situation and put them in a classroom for a few years? … If we have to build colleges to train the pastors we pay to plant churches, we’ll never see a multiplication movement that reaches the 80 million people of Central Asia.
Interview with Jay (5)
21 January, 2010 – 3:20 AM
Jay: Let’s go on to your fourth characteristic — rapid mobilization. Steve: This is a simple concept — everybody has a job to do. Movements don’t abolish the clergy, they abolish the laity. They ordain everyone for ministry. You see it in Jesus’ ministry. Even before the woman at the well has come to a [...]

7 December, 2009 – 9:02 AM
This question just came in from Liz. Hi Steve, I’m reading your book at the moment and I get the impression that you are against theological education. What do you think?
