"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).

Vertical lock Down

This is the nature if all the conversations, meetings, seminars, church growth books & teaching I have been exposed too the last 20 years.
Climb the ladder higher, with more "excellence", "professionalism", more "intentional".
Good words, just based on a vertical perspective. We need to shift horizontally to new ground and build fresh movements without the same old baggage, not simply building on the same, better.


"Christendom has been worked and reworked and tweaked every which way possible, and yet we still persist in doing it the same way, only 'better'."

(The Shape Of Things To Come, 2003, Alan Hirch, Michael Frost)
