Seth Godin Goes To Church

I am one of those people who reads constantly. In fact, I average about 3 books at one time. I am an information junkie. I love when people recommend books to me and I love to offer things I have learned from my own reading.

I am currently reading (and regretfully, almost finished) Seth Godin's book entitled TRIBES. An awesome book about becoming a leader. I found it to be encouraging and "get off your butt" challenging. Here is the book in a nutshell . . . everyone is looking for something to believe in.

Because of the technology age we live in, there are NO obstacles to forming a tribe of people who share a common belief. This is incredible news for the church. We CAN be all things to all people because as the church we can exist in different tribes (groups), each one bonded together by traits shared within the group (Age, Culture, Hobby, Passion, etc.) and still share in the beauty of being part of the Body of Christ.

This is what excites me about launching our new church, THE ADVENTURE. We are targeting creative, artsy types of people. In essence, a tribe. We can focus our efforts on presenting Christ to this particular community or culture and know that we are still part of the greater Body of Christ which includes hundreds of thousands of other tribes which are completely different from our tribe. HOW COOL IS THAT?

Here's a challenge: What's your tribal call? Are you part of a tribe? Are you being called to lead a tribe? Answer those questions and you might see a future unfold before you that goes beyond your imagination.

May God bless you as you follow whatever call He has placed on your life. Live it out and live it out loud!

Onward and Upward!

Stephen

I invite you to pick up Seth Godin's book (Amazon, Borders, Barnes & Noble, etc.) and see if you aren't being called to lead a tribe.
