You will never experience viable organic, simple, participatory church …

If you fall prey to books, blogs and seminars promoting “how to” by those who “don’t do”.

Seriously, when it comes to “itinerant” authors like Frank Viola, Milt Rodriquez, Jon Zens and other self-styled “apostolic workers” who promote themselves as “church planters” …

You can’t learn to be the church from those who consistently fail to make it work in their own lives, home towns and elsewhere.

Break free of their extraneous existential agendas; their disdain for the plenary authority of Scripture; their cookie-cutter “deeper life” visions; their post-modern “beyond” ideologies; and their history of abuse, sexual predation, infidelity and cover up.

Because you’ll never learn to authentically be and do what we see in the New Testament …

Until you leave phony behind.
