Lessons from a Leader Lost: Examining the Legacy of Fr. Thomas McKenzie It is good to number our days (Psalm 90:12). As sad as this story is, I was truly impacted reading the ways in which Father Thomas excelled in encouraging the flourishing of this Anglican church in Nashville. Don't pass on this one from The Rabbit Room.  I've only been to 3 of them. How many have you visited? I LOVE bookstores, but apparently I’ve only been to three of the most brilliant bookshops in the world (and not even the one closest to me). How many have you visited? Was there one you thought should've made the list?  My friend has made some new music. You may know him. From the Womb of the Morning The Dew of Your Youth Will Be Yours, is the debut solo single from Ronnie Martin of Joy Electric fame. Joy Electric released 14 albums and cultivated a worldwide fanbase, music scene, and the annual Autobahn Electronic Music Festival before disbanding in 2012. Stellar work, Ronnie. Keep it up! A short, powerful clip from Rashida Jones on porn & prostitution. She's ringing a bell that needs to be heard and felt far and wide. I'm grateful for celebrities like her.  NOTE: This clip may not be appropriate for younger listeners.  How to Treat Fellow Christians The Bible says a lot about how to treat each other. Here, I organized a host of biblical commands that tell us how we should do so. Can you imagine what your church would be like if every member took these Scriptures to heart? A new podcast from Tim Keller Christianity is declining in the West. Churches in the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe are closing their doors at an accelerating rate. How will the church respond? Is there any reason for hope? The 7-part podcast series—How to Reach the West Again—aims to answer those questions and more. In each episode, New York Times bestselling author and pastor Tim Keller discusses a different element of a missionary encounter with culture. He is joined by pastors and scholars from across North America and Europe who unpack and illustrate what a missionary encounter looks like in their unique cultural contexts. Together they cast a rich and robust vision for how the gospel changes everything—even today in our secular age. A tweet to remember "Would you rather have the mountaintop experience without God, or the dark valley with him?" The sermon on Sola Scriptura you didn't know you needed. Here's a great sermon I listened to last Sunday (Reformation Day) from Harbor's own Ed Marcelle (Director of Church Planting & Multiplication) on Sola Scriptura. Given we're already on the heels of remembering the Reformation, let's not forget where and how and why it all began. Listen up and enjoy! This may surprise you, hopefully it inspires you too. When I compare my screen time intake to my Bible intake and compare it to the times in this video, I'm thinking I need to do some reorientation. Perhaps you may feel the same. :) How will you make an impact in the lives of those launching, leading, and multiplying thriving churches? MAKE AN IMPACT Resources to help you rest, renew, and return to life in ministry.
