Charlie Wear's Notes

  • Traveling mercies

    Is there ever a time when "Goodbye" isn’t sad? I’m not sure when that is. These days I am working in California for about two weeks and then I am home for a few days. Boy, it is getting harder and harder on the plane flights back to work. This… Listen ⇢

  • Hero or zero?

    There is no doubt that those who are driven to ministry leadership have some issues, is there? I read an article (I think it was by Don Williams, but I can’t say for sure and I am too lazy to look it up) that said that most pastoral leaders have… Listen ⇢

  • Palmer's Divine Intro

    Everyone should have a friend like Bill Dahl. I mentioned to him the other day that I hadn’t read Jim Palmer’s Divine Nobodies and he had somebody at Thomas Nelson send me a copy. So, I just took a break from reading the last Harry Potter book (I am sure… Listen ⇢

  • Spiritual Authority? Hoodabada (TM) I say!

    It’s over ten years ago now that I accidentally became the pastor of a church. Nearly the month I took over the area overseer in our network of churches resigned. It was only a few months after that, it seems, that someone decided that I should be the "acting" area… Listen ⇢

  • Small is better, zero is best?

    I think I kind of understand what Pernell Goodyear is saying in this post, "Missional Church? be prepared to lose." To get the entire context you have to read the entire post. But here is an excerpt: "It [being a missional church] meant that we would lose two thirds of… Listen ⇢

  • Homeward Bound

    It has been an amazing three weeks and tomorrow I get on the plan at 6 a.m. and fly home to my family in Tampa, Florida. Just three weeks ago we were hanging in there at the end of our financial rope. With the help of friends and loved ones,… Listen ⇢
