It

I've been reading the new Craig Groeschel book It. The more I learn about impactful, relevant ministry, the more I realize how very, very rare it is. I know it sounds dramatic and overbearing, but when I meet with people to talk about ministry vision and the talk centers around activities or programs, or it becomes apparent that excellence isn't valued, or corporate worship isn't valued, or presentation in a "creating relevant environments" sense of the word isn't valued, I just want to vomit. I have a dream of one day being involved in gloves-off, knock-down, drag-out ministry that thrives on high quality corporate worship services done with excellence and authenticity and no one apologizes for setting a target audience and actually aiming for it! Who's comin with me?! Who's comin with me?!
