This is the last few minutes of the final week of Faithful. Basically I teach through the 4th chapter of 2 Timothy. I also talk quite a bit about the Boston Red Sox… So try it out.

What can Christians learn from Red Sox fans?
I’m proud to work with denominations…
As many of you know, I was raised in a very solid Southern Baptist Church in Paducah, Kentucky. My heritage has been so helpful in developing solid theology, love for people and great leadership practices in me. I have been so blessed to serve with the SBC over the years.
A few years ago, our church started teaming up with both the KBC (Kentucky Baptist Convention) and the Evangelical Covenant Church, a denomination out of Chicago, IL who have done some amazing things with church planting in the past 15 years.
The ECC is small but potent. Theologically evangelical, missionaly aggressive, and ethnically diverse… the ECC has been a wonderful addition to 4 Rivers Church.
But more importantly, it has been a wonderful addition to my life. The times I have spent at events like the Church Planter Training Event in Boston this week have been truly formative for me. I have been overwhelmed with joy and reinergized with vigor for Christ’s calling in my life.
Thank you ECC for being used by Jesus to build spiritual vitality and missional passion in me. Thank you KBC for raising me, teaching me, discipling me and focusing me.
I am proud to work with denominations.
Red Sox – Yankees: Im going to the game!
I just bought 4 box seat tickets to the Yankees – Red Sox game tonight at Fenway Park!
I wish I had my dad with me for this one.
What’s your favorite sports related memory?
Network the Gospel: Do you know anyone who might want to help plant a new life giving church or 4RC campus?
Do you know anyone who is looking for a life giving, exciting church? Where do they live?
I am presently helping coach church planters all over America. I sense that maybe God wants to use this article to help network people you know with these amazing planters all across America.
Or maybe you have interest in helping to plant a 4RC campus somewhere around Western Kentucky. We would also be interested in Southern Illinois or North Western Tennessee. Well, I guess we would be interested in anyone who wants to talk about this.
If you are a part of a congregation that is unsure of God’s next step. Maybe you would be interested in relaunching as a new 4RC campus and reaching your community with the exciting and beautiful Good News.
Let me know if you have any thoughts…
By Design Creatures of Faith
So I’m sitting here running slide shows for the Church Planter Training Center in Boston. And the speaker, a great Korean American dude who serves as the Director of Church Planting for the ECC named Peter Hong, just said that all people are “creatures of faith by design.”
What a great quote.
The question is not whether or not you will have faith. Its about whether or not you will have faith in the right things.
Peter, who is training for the Boston marathon, says laziness is a product of fear and energy/activity is a product of faith.
Is your lifestyle one driven by faith? Is your activity pushed by faith?
How does faith drive you?
As Peter closes, he says, ‘please believe in me and I will live for you.”
Do you believe in people? Does your relationship with them drive them toward faith based activity and driven spirit?
