Matt Chandler’s message is essential for anyone who wants to be a leader or pastor. Super challenging stuff.

Someone find a link to it and post it in the comments. If no one can find it, I’ll post it later. I can’t type fast enough to get it down. Here are some teasers:

“I don’t care how you contextualize the message – you can’t make it so that the Gospel will not be the stench of death to some.”

“I like topical messages as long as they are done properly…exegetically.”

“There are too many retarded men out there and I mean that in the literal sense. You started out growing in your relationship with God and stopped.”

You can skip to the end and leave a response. Pinging is currently not allowed.

Facebook comments:

Growing up in the Lansing area, I wanted nothing more than to get out. My exit strategy included a complex mixture of schemes for an urban church plant, iProducts, and an elaborate Bollywood car chase scene with zombies and catchy techno music.

As a 40 year old man, I find myself entrenched in the Lansing area at a church I love (Riverview), with 4 kids I love more (a high schooler, a junior higher, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and a wife I love the most (Grace).

Instead of planting one church, I dream of helping hundreds get started without ever leaving my home base. I still love my iProducts and use them as tools to help lead and teach the thousands who attend Riverview. And when no one is looking, I blare the techno music and send my unimpressive resume to casting agents for Bollywood zombie films.
