Jeff Flowers is Disquieted: March 2009
http://pastorjeffflowers.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2009. What's Next on the Reading List. I'm reading and reviewing another book for Th. Nelson, The Hole in Our Gospel. By Richard Stearns. I am really excited about this one, because I've been kind of desparate for a book that challenges my faith ever since I read My Beautiful Idol. Richard Stearns is the president of World Vision. Learn more about Richard Stearns. Please read this interview. From Guy Kawasaki. This will definitely give you some insight to this extraordinary person.

Friday, February 27, 2009. Studies and polls are trending toward the legalization of marijuana. Christians already oppose abortion, in fact, abortion is the biggest opposition in the political or moral arenas for US Christians. In comparison, how will Christians react to the legalization of marijuana and the possible legalization of all illicit drugs? You can read the latest polls here. Love to hear your thoughts?

Jeff Flowers is Disquieted: January 2009
http://pastorjeffflowers.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2009. INSPIRING PEOPLE TO LIVE BIG! Our days are mundane. Predictable. Often grating. It feels like we exist only to survive into the next day. Our dreams are of.what? A more stressful job? And what role does the church play? We're all afraid that this thing called the spiritual life will only serve to destroy us to rein us in and make us settle for being less than who we feel we truly are. One of our biggest fears about Christianity is that it will make us.boring. Every Thursday, for...

Jeff Flowers is Disquieted: April 2009
http://pastorjeffflowers.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 17, 2009. I just finished a new design project and was looking over my strategy notes and started thinking what if I approached a leadership decision like I do a new design project. I jotted down the steps I take when starting a new design project and quickly adapted them into a strategy for making a leadership decision. I think it turned out pretty good and I don't think it's too much of a stretch. Start With A Blank Slate. Listen, Listen, Listen. Get a Mental Picture of What You Want.

Jeff Flowers is Disquieted: "The One" Challenge
http://pastorjeffflowers.blogspot.com/2009/03/one-one-month-later.html
Saturday, March 28, 2009. In January, I became one of only two pastoral staff members left after some fairly significant changes in personnel (to say the least). At first, I felt OK about the changes, but after a few days I began to ask myself a lot of questions. One, in particular, was how do we begin discipling 600 people between two part-time pastors. The answer was obvious; you don't! When I got back into the office on Monday, I typed a letter that simply read:. ARE YOU THE ONE? I paused for a respon...
