I found more ideas we want to steal.  :) To answer the question, "what will we do with the kids?" this guy sums up pretty well what we're leaning toward.  We want to disciple our kids like this, and honestly, let them disciple us.  Probably won't be clean, but it'll be worth it!

Just because I don't want to lose this link, I've got to post it here.  I might just listen to this talk about once a month if I need to.   It's so convicting and so RIGHT.  I think we are about to step into the hardest thing we've ever done in our lives, which ironically, is to live the way Jesus intends for every Christian to live... on mission, being disciples who make more disciples, living as a real family.

Good, good stuff... thank you, Jeff Vanderstelt.

On a side note, Ben had someone come up to him after church this past Sunday.  She's new and has no idea who we are or what our future plans are.  Ben didn't even preach yesterday, so it's not like she could "sense something" through the way he talked.  But she said that when Ben got up to do announcements, she had a very clear prophetic word come to her for Ben.  She was supposed to tell him, "God is plowing the ground before you." 

Goosebumps.  Thank you, Lord!

Well, this is cool!  Ben found a church in Tacoma, Washington that absolutely nails it on the head with our vision for community.  I watched this video and almost laughed out loud - so many things this pastor says have come straight out of Ben's mouth too. :)
