Talked with my good friend Robb Overholt this morning. He made a powerful statement about church outreach ~ "Half the battle is helping our people talk positively about their church." Eurkea. That's it.
Robb and I worked on staff together in Va Beach, but are now both church planters. He's got a cutting edge ministry that's getting ready to go multi-site in an urban environment. Great messages here.


Ben, this is dead on! I am absolutely convinced that a huge part of successfully leading a church is leading the conversation about your church. I don't know anyone who is talking about this but it is vitally important.
Couple other things: 1. I'm glad you are taking the lead for the NNCC buzz! It's going to be a phoenomenal event! 2. Thanks for linking to my blog.
