what if we did live q&a every week?

ask-anything.JPGSo this series has been amazing. You can learn a lot about a culture when you invite them to ask anything and remain anonymous. I think we’ve learned more about our church through this series than any poll, survey or study we’ve ever done.

But even more so, the live Q&A has been amazing. To be able to teach on a subject and give people the opportunity to ask questions about what they just heard is amazing. Instant feedback. Absolute clarity. Which got me thinking…

What if we had a live Q&A with every service, every series? Every time you came to church you knew that you’d have the opportunity to get ask the pastor what he meant by X or how you could apply X to your unique situation?

Our culture demands interaction and anonymity. It craves to be noticed but protected in safety. It wants real answers without the stigma of perception.

Live Q&A, every service. Every series.

I don’t think there’s a church anywhere that’s doing this. Like us, some may do it occasionally.  Could we be the first? It’s not up to me, but I think it could be amazing.

What do you think?

a true iron man

Written by Aron Strong on October 15, 2008 – 11:15 am -

Dave MacNeill, our Pastor of Next Generation, fulfilled a dream this weekend. He finished the Iron Man in Kona, Hawaii. He’s a stud. Plagued with a cracked rib during training, he endured and made his dream come true.

Way to go Dave!

Watch Dave cross the finish line here.
