I wonder if one of the reasons we don't see this type of shift has more to do with longevity than it does with a resistance to change.<BR/><BR/>A college football team gets to cycle the entire team in 4-5 years. The NFL doesn't change quite as rapidly and the church even less frequently. Minor changes can start to look pretty innovative and groundbreaking when you've seen the same stuff for the past 20-50 years. <BR/><BR/>How can we start fostering small shifts that make people comfortable enough to cope with huge transformations?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-10542087524644150812008-09-22T11:49:00.000-05:002008-09-22T11:49:00.000-05:00God's freedom requires risk.

The Chiefs are the declining church that focuses on solvable problems like the new carpet (revolving-door coaches) when what it really needs is a spanish language service (fire the petersons already!)<BR/><BR/>Take a risk, the excitement and hope will follow.Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07427946383017171929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-86429784961557517942008-09-21T06:57:00.000-05:002008-09-21T06:57:00.000-05:00Emil anonymously stretches your analogy even furth...Emil anonymously stretches your analogy even further to say that maybe, like the Tigers, the church needs to recapture the energy, talents and relevance it had in the past and restate them is today's language.
