Tim Cook, the "Wild Guy" from Halifax is planting churches.  There are lessons learned all along the way. 

In a time when church buildings are closing, how is it even possible there are enough people interested that new church communities are emerging?

Faith is dying, isn't it? That is the impression we are given in media reports.

Globally, the christian faith is growing as the epicenter has shifted to Asia, and the global south.  

It might seem grim in Canada as church buildings close, and whole denominations are on the brink of no longer existing within 20 years. 

However, there is GOOD NEWS. 

New Simple Communities Are Emerging All Over The Place.   

These christian communities are lean, and simple. Tossing off the old building centric structures (With are costly) and focusing on simple gatherings that grow, teach, and encourage one another. 

We will never multiply churches swiftly with heavy, costly structures and mechanisms. The model pushed on us is 1.5 million dollars for a three year start up.  With that mindset, there will be no multiplication movement. 

Tim Cook has shifted to a Coffee house ministry. 

Simple, lean, rooted in prayer, fasting, gathering, and scripture study at a coffee house!

With a view to multiplying these small communities 60 times.

Watching our Parents age.  It is a new season of life with joys and challenges. A conversation with Milton Clark, from Edmonton, Alberta, has a Masters in Clinical Social Work.  Milton is a Prince Edward Islander who now lives "Away", but who's heart is very much with his PEI roots.  He flew home from Edmonton to relocate his in-laws from one seniors facility to another as their level of assisted care increases in their 90's. What is it like to live 4000 km away and trying to juggle the needs of our aging parents? It's not easy, but Milton encourages us to see the opportunities we have to invest in our relationship with them at this stage of life. It's never too late to make changes, and enjoy what time we have left.  So many people never had their parents live into their 80's and 90's. So we have been given an extra 20 years than some people have had.  Andy offered to assist Milton with loading and unloading the truck for the move.  This is actual moving day, and this episode was taped live in a U-Haul moving truck. This means we have noise, and road rattling..  The sections that get hard to hear are only a minute or two, so hang in there as they pass by quickly after we got off the really bad sections of the highway.  This was two buddies who are living this topic and chatting in the midst of these realities. We don't know what kind of relationship you have with your aging parents. But we hope this encourages you to get involved and enjoy the time we have left. Maybe we need to toss out the hatchet? Maybe we need to come together as siblings, and overcome our tensions, ? We don't know nor judge your situation. We know it's a challenge. You are not alone. We may not have the answers about most things. At the very least I hope it makes us pick up the phone and call, or stop in just a little more often to give them a hug..... even when they don't know your name anymore.  Courage to you all my friends.    Please share this podcast.  Drop us a note on our social media.  We love to hear from you.

We all know There is a huge pressure to build something. Count on no one.

Rarely will anyone stop us on the road to Burnout!  Why? 

Listen to find out! 

What is the difference between burnout and tired? 

Tom Marshall of the “Two Bird Dogs Podcast” logged in from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island with me over Messenger today so we could discuss exhaustion, tired, and burnout. 

Our discussion was launched by a good and fair article (Link below). 

We often use the term burnout too quickly. Other times we might just be in denial. 

Tired, not burned out. Still have joy in the calling, but need a break.

Hiking is a great way to get back at friends who've been nasty - just lie about the mosquitoes and tell those annoying people that bug spray is forbidden on the Island trails because it's toxic.  Winter! What is the secret to enjoying Winter as much as Summer? Investing in proper clothing so that you can enter the forest in the snow. Slow down and Listen. Sometimes we are too distance and goal oriented.  Practicing that purposeful slow down so that nature accepts you.  Nature resonates with the soul. Invest in good shoes, a pack, snowshoes (Especially in Canada) and good winter jackets and ski pants.  With proper gear (At reasonable prices) we can still be in the forest all year long, enjoying natures stress relief (And getting healthier in the process.) Tom Marshall and I talk about nature.  Subscribe and like our podcast, share it with friends.  That helps us. Thank You. ------
