Thanks for checking the blog out. Church planting's going far slower than I'd like it... I'm still in quite early stages, and can't wait till things ramp up. The church link doesn't seem to be showing up for me, is your church plant a full-time gig right now? Hey Jason, thanks for chiming in! holy discontent is awesome... I guess I have some of it too. Many people swear by it. I know it's necessary for vision. Sometimes, I wonder if we're a bit reactionary. I wonder what it would look like if our lives were driven more by deep satisfaction with God than our dissatisfaction with the world around us... I'll be tuning into your blog as well.

I like the way you think. I appreciated this post in particular. I too am planting a church and have been guilty of criticizing the state of the church. I have that "holy discontent" and it's easy for me to sometimes use that to fuel my passion. The truth is the church brings a message of faith, hope, and love. I'm to bring good news of Jesus not the bad news of the church. Great reminder. Thanks dude! Great blog man. I like the way you think.

good call on bringing in what pastors are going through… i’m sure many pastors find themselves often affirmed in the disgruntled literature out these days, but it’s a whole other thing moving people towards where Jesus is actually going…

When we do, we become inward focused, not outward focused. Not sure I totally get that yet because I think we do need to talk about the church. But I agree with you that we often beat the church up and don't do much work to actually bring healing to average Christians and pastors who are simply feeling disoriented in this culture.

That's hard work and takes more than letting everyone know how disgruntled we are.
