"When you begin to think outside the box, you often become some other "leaders" lousy follower. That usually costs something" (Andy Rayner)

"Our guardian angels are bored." (Mike Foster)

It's where I feel I'm at these days. “In the second half of life, it is good just to be a part of the general dance. We do not have to stand out, make defining moves, or be better than anyone else on the dance floor. Life is more participatory than assertive, and there is no need for strong or further self-definition” (Falling Upward. Richard Rohr.120).

When Mighty Church Crushes Mighty Men!

There's a lot of criticism, crazy expectations, and foolish demands of ministers/pastors today, and pressure is mounting. What are you doing different to minister to your minister? What makes you think its any better at your church then the next? Do his wife and kids a favor and let him, and them have time for relationships - NOT AROUND A MEETING TABLE.


"Somehow the leaders of the good news have become bad news to their spouses and children" Hugh Halter (Tangible kingdom)


Higher than average rates of depression, and higher rates of church drop out for pastors kids.

"When you don't have all the "stuff", you're left with a lot of time to spend with people." Hugh Halter in Tangible Kingdom"
Church, your "stuff" is killing people, and they are tired weary and worn.
If you don't believe me ask them.
There are simpler ways, follow them, please.
