Missional Communities @ Coram Deo
I had the joy of being with a solid, missional, Acts 29 church this weekend called Coram Deo. Though I preached on Jesus’ Cleansing of the Temple, I probably got the better end of the stick. Coram Deo is three years into church planting in Omaha, Nebraska. Bob Thune is the lead pastor and Will Walker is the pastor of Spiritual Formation (Check out Will’s book, Kingdom of Couches). Here are three of the things I learned from Coram Deo:
- Use Survey Monkey to monitor missional community health.
- Develop a Missional Community Leader Forum that requires leaders to post a weekly MC recap, as well as fostering for ongoing training and interaction for leaders.
- Regularly announce why we don’t really do announcements on Sunday morning.
Promising Interview w/ Pastors of Kaleo
Drew Goodmanson and Kaleo church have been kind enough to share some of their missional thinking documents with me while planting Austin City Life. Now fellow Acts 29 planters, Goodmanson and Fairchild will be sharing through Shapevine in an online interview. They do theology and missiology very well.

Neil Cole: Search & Rescue
Neil Cole’s new book is now out Search & Rescue: Becoming A Disciple Who Makes A Difference. Cole’s previous book, Organic Church, was immensely influential and, in some circles, a tad controversial. Apparently, this book repackages some of the ideas from OG and from his lesser known book Cultivating A Life for God. The strength of this book will likely be Cole’s insights on how to connect with unbelievers as well as now to grow missional disciples Comment if you have already read it.
