		<title>To our readers (final blog post)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is our final post on this blog.  In the future one or more of us may start a new blog, but in this season of life we’re finding it difficult to keep up with blogging.  We turned off the &#8230; <a href="http://wayoflifevillage.org/2010/01/01/to-our-readers">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Joining God In Mission: Appeal to Christians&#8217; crazy love not fear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you want established churches to get excited about growing and starting new churches, don’t appeal to their fear that their brand of church is losing influence (even if it is). The question is not, &#8221;What will we do to keep ourselves from going &#8230; <a href="http://wayoflifevillage.org/2009/11/10/appeal-to-their-crazy-love">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Joining God in Mission: Showing the Selfless Savior, not the Self-Preserving Church</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  Have you been asked to support church planting because of what it will do for your church or denomination (or your non-denomination as the case may be)?  I used to give these well-intended presentations, but now I&#8217;m skeptical.  They go &#8230; <a href="http://wayoflifevillage.org/2009/11/07/self-preservation-not-a-good-motivator-for-outreach">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>A Message Worth Telling: Delivered From and Delivered To</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People in LA need to hear about the God who delivers!  Several friends have described situations where Christians pleaded with them to be or get &#8220;saved,&#8221;  and to their disappointment they discovered salvation means no deliverance.  You gotta stop dressing &#8230; <a href="http://wayoflifevillage.org/2009/08/10/message-worth-telling">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Life In EHO: Rejecting the label, not the message</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Christians and Jesus-followers.  These are supposed to be synonymous, yet a 20-something woman with tattooed arms and pins in her lip doesn&#8217;t think so.  In last night&#8217;s Bible study she explained why she needs Christ not Christianity in her life.  &#8230; <a href="http://wayoflifevillage.org/2009/07/23/rejecting-the-label-not-the-message">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Joining God In Mission: The Myth of Rapid Reproduction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing that has been helpful for me as we seek to lay the foundation for an obedience-based faith movement (a.k.a. Church Planting Movement) is acknowledging the myth of “rapid” reproduction. My mind is blown by the exponential growth of church &#8230; <a href="http://wayoflifevillage.org/2009/05/27/myth-of-rapid-reproduction">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Joining God In Mission: Should you get paid to serve?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are called to be a Christian leader/pastor/missionary/etc, that does not automatically mean God is asking you to get paid for it.  &#8220;Who should the church pay to serve?&#8221;  This is the question Neil Cole is thoughtfully addressing from &#8230; <a href="http://wayoflifevillage.org/2009/03/18/who-should-the-church-pay-to-serve">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Church Planter: Is it time to retire this theologically poor term?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m getting sick of the term ‘church planter’.  Really, we need to find new (ancient?) vocabulary.  We mean well, of course, but it must be offensive for God to see his creations giving themselves titles that belong only to him, &#8230; <a href="http://wayoflifevillage.org/2008/12/08/is-it-time-to-retire-this-theologically-poor-term">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Overcoming Fears of Urban Life: The handshake that changed my life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember how scared I was the first time I shook the hand of a “homeless” person.  It was 12 years ago.  Potluck Sunday at the Hollywood Church of Christ (the church who sent our families out as domestic missionaries).  &#8230; <a href="http://wayoflifevillage.org/2008/10/11/handshake">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Choosing a Mission Field: Strategic Places and Strategic Living</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thoughts on strategy from a recent Way of Life Village gathering… When we started out on this mission we told people why East Hollywood is a strategic place for us to share and demonstrate the message of Jesus Christ.
