Living in a Post-Christian Culture

I know its still a debatable idea, but most of us living in the north east or the west coast are living in a post-Christian culture.
Ive recently listened to two talks by two different guys from different background. Both come down with similar strategies.

“When belonging in the social hierarchy of the local church becomes a greater desire than becoming Christ to our neighbors outside the church we have returned to the glum decor of the castle walls. Hiding in fear of losing a kingdom we never had or were called to build…”

Ages: 20s & 30 somethings”
Then today another said his church was “pursuing the [...]

American Pantheism

10 Books Every Wanna Be Pastor Needs to Read

In looking back on the long(tongue-in-cheek) time I have spent as a seminary student, I realize that there are a number of books that I wish I had been encouraged to read while at seminary, a few of these books were given as class texts, but most of them were simply recommendations from wiser men.
