Copastors Kent Carlson and Mike Lueken tell the story of how God took their thriving, consumer-oriented church and transformed it into a modest congregation of unformed believers committed to the growth of the spirit--even when it meant a decline in numbers.As Kent and Mike found out, a decade of major change is not easy on a church.

I agree with much of what they said, but thought they made changes that were needlessly drastic and shocking.
"Our purpose is to provide followers of Christ with the necessary tools so that they can establish new front lines where the kingdom of God is breaking out.
Jesus is calling us, as his disciples, as his apprentices in the art of living righteously, to establish beacheads for his kingdom, wherever God has planted us. And so the kingdom of God breaks out not so much when we gather together in the church on the weekends, although that certainly happens, but when a mother cares for her children, a carpenter frames a house, a businesswoman leads a strategic planning meeting, a mechanic tunes an engine, a student sits in class, a couple develops a relationship with their nonchurches neighbors.
To be faithful to the Great Commission, church leaders must push back at a religious culture that measures success by how large our church is, by how many programs we have, by how popular we are. When a church remembers that it exists to supply followers of Christ with realistic, reliable and practical means to live in the reality of the kingdom of God and establish new beachheads, then it is doing what it is called to do."
