Smarter people than me . . .
I got to have coffee with a new friend,
John Chandler, yesterday. Good times. Time flew and I had to cut the conversation short, but 'twas definitely cool. John's a part of a
new church sort of (but not exactly) in my neck of the woods, and he's a student at
Mars Hill Grad School. It was fun to trade stories of ministry experience, school, reading lists, etc. I do believe we'll hang out again - hopefully some time soon.
For lunch yesterday, I ended up over in Ballard for a lunch thingy with
Ed Stetzer, who was in town to speak at a
conference I, uh, didn't go to. Ed's a smart guy who is one of the brighter spots of my denom. He's got a
new book out that I plan to read, which may (hopefully) contribute some clarity to the difference between missional and simply
missionmindedevangelical.
