Wow! How honored I was to be interviewed (albeit by telephone – don’t imagine a bank of microphones with cameras flashing) by my favorite magazine, Outreach Magazine!

They were preparing an article about this Christmas’ release of The Nativity Story. They even spelled my name right! That’s a first for a printed magazine.

It’s really a great article, no thanks to my small contribution. I like how it highlights the ability of any size church to be innovative.

I have a theory that the smaller churches have less to lose and a lot more flexibility to adapt, change, and model the redemptive story of Jesus Christ to their communities than big-box regional churches ever will.

There is a place and time for both approaches, but the smaller church needs to re-examine, re-think and get busy taking Christ’s love to their town.

Innovate, renovate, imitate.
