    What’s Your Vibe? Reengineering Your First Impressions for New Visitors

    In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the “beloved community” with Dr. Charles Montgomery. Framing a theological case for reconciliation, Dr. Montgomery describes the spectrum from denial to polarization to minimization to acceptance to adaptation, in which we move from a monocultural mindset to a Kingdom-oriented interculturalism. This, he asserts, is simply a part of discipleship. Besides being a pastor, spiritual director, and diversity consultant, Dr. Montgomery’s rich background ...

    Fastbreak: Who Do You Believe?

    In this Fastbreak episode, Dave is asking the question, “Who do you believe?” or maybe more accurately, “Who should you believe?” What we believe obviously affects our world view, with our actions following. Dave suggests that all truth must be found outside of ourselves, and in this particular example, the truth that God deeply loves each of us. Experiencing that reality generally makes us more outward-focused in our approach to life…and church leaders must begin with that framework.The Elem...
