Charlie Wear's Notes

  • Curiosity v. Fundamentalism with Seth Godin

    This is pretty darn good…sethgodin.com Listen ⇢

  • What should pastors think about the emerging church?

    I should probably start holding seminars on "What is the Emerging Church?" I could categorize and compare the various "expressions" of the emerging church. I could describe the major areas of non-orthodox exploration. I could point out the leading practitioners, theologians and gadflies. Do you think I could charge $129… Listen ⇢

  • Seeing what God is doing…

    I love to see what God is doing. I especially like to meet young leaders who are innovative as they are pioneering new works for God. I got to spend a little bit of time with one of those kinds of folks yesterday. His name is David Trotter. He is… Listen ⇢

  • USA Today Survey of Non-attenders

    USA Today: A new survey of U.S. adults who don’t go to church, even on holidays, finds 72% say "God, a higher or supreme being, actually exists." But just as many (72%) also say the church is "full of hypocrites." Yikes! Listen ⇢

  • The truth hurts: or why we shouldn't start Drive-in theaters

    I have been enjoying reading Seth Godin lately. The Purple Cow, Red Fez, Meatball Sundae-making marketing guru and author is frequently profound.
