The Jesus We Never Knew?
I was somewhat surprise to find this picture online. I never knew that Jesus was an American and that he was at the signing of the constitution (HT: Shawn, who also has the worst music video of all time).

Can Megachurches Be Missional?
Ed Stetzer & Dave Fitch – a missional conversation Part II from Bill Kinnon on Vimeo.
I want to note first of all the complexity of the word “missional.” It is very difficult to define, but I found this video very interesting and both points of view very interesting. For those who read my blog (especially my tirade againt Mark Driscoll), you know that I dislike using statistics in trying to prove certain points within a church. I think statistics are both misleading and often oversimplified for the use of point proving. Both men here, however, do a good job of staying on point and having a respectable dialogue. Fitch seems to be taking a “straw man” megachurch and Ed Stetzer does a good job of showing that Fitch is doing this. However, I tend to agree with Fitch more in general in his past posts on the dangers of the attractional model.
Danny is a credentialed social science teacher in California, but is especially interested in students with special education (always the person first and the disability second). He is pursuing his education specialist credential at Cal State Northridge with help from President Obama who has given lots of money to teachers in residency willing to work for three years in Title 1 Schools. Please know that his thoughts are always forming and are subject to change at a moment's notice.
Great links!
