		<title>Does Church Membership Matter?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the things that bothers me about our westernized church culture is how we determine membership in our churches.  In most cases, once someone “joins” – that’s it.  We may never see you again, but we call you a member.  I believe Christ intended for the local church to play a larger role in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mistakes in Transitioning Church</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m wrapping up talking about mistakes I made in leading a church through transition (I could go on for weeks, but it&#8217;s just not fun focusing on my mess-ups &#8211; I may pick it up again later   ).  I saved the most important for last.  This one is huge.
I was so focused on [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Mistakes Transitioning a Church</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Loyalty is incredibly important to me.  Actually, it is essential in healthy leadership.  Because it&#8217;s so important to me, I look for it and I understand it&#8217;s important for me to give that same level of loyalty to those I lead.  As we began to get into the public phase of the transition, it became [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mistakes in leading through Transition 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another mistake I made in leading through transition is something I&#8217;m still trying to learn.  Leading through change is difficult at best and usually very painful.  I did not allow myself to feel the pain.  I pushed through&#8230; there was a goal to be reached and nothing could stop us.  What I discovered was that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mistakes In Transitioning a Church</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes in leadership our weakness are glaring&#8230; at other times we&#8217;re good at covering them.  As we&#8217;re walking through the series, &#8220;Protect This House&#8221; at C3 Church it has really reminded me of the transition we walked through.  Lately I&#8217;ve really been processing what I would have done differently.  I don&#8217;t like admitting that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>All In</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Crazy busy day today.

First time at C3 we&#8217;ve had to seriously shorten our service due to early movies.  The theater has been awesome to work with each week, but today, due to contracts w/movies, we had a major crunch.  So, our 10:30 worship experience was only 45 minutes long today&#8230; wow!  Huge thanks to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today we kicked off &#8220;Protect This House&#8221; &#8211; a new series @ C3 Church.  The first step in protecting the house is making sure our heart beats for what God&#8217;s heart beats for &#8211; people, especially those far from him!  It&#8217;s not about doing church, it&#8217;s all about being the church.
Also, we dove into 10 [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Quick D-L</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Angie and I just flew in from Dallas (where it was stinkin cold!).  I love Dallas, but it&#8217;s great to be home.  So many things are flying through my mind, rapid fire, so I want to just share a few&#8230;

I needed this week.  Not real sure how to explain it, but you have those moments [...]]]></description>
