New blog series from Chuck Swindoll

by Andrew Rogers

Our friends over at the Zondervan blog launched a new series of blog posts today from Chuck Swindoll called “Scriptural Insights from Chuck Swindoll.” He’ll be posting something new every Tuesday throughout 2010. 

Scriptural Insights with Chuck Swindoll blog seriesIf you’ve been a part of the church at all in the last few decades then chances are high you’ve either read Chuck’s books, listened to Chuck on the radio, or at least have heard someone quote Chuck Swindoll from the pulpit. His impact on the American church can’t easily be overstated. He’s a veritable Gandalf of western evangelicalism. In fact, just recently Ed Stetzer and crew over at LifeWay Research found that Chuck Swindoll was second only to Billy Graham on the list of the 10 Most Influential Living Preachers, and he was honored at the Catalyst 2009 with the Lifetime Achievement Award.

How has the ministry of Chuck Swindoll made an impact in your life? In your ministry?

Sign up for the “AND” blog tour!

by Andrew Rogers

Pastors and church visionaries, Hugh Halter and Matt Smay, aren’t just interested in churches that gather people, they want to see churches that scatter people too. In their new book, AND: The Gathered and Scattered Church, they discuss how church leaders can move beyond the attractional-missional divide and utilize insights from both perspectives. They bring together the very best of the attractional and missional models for church ministry into one solid model. 

Here’s what a few others have to say about AND:

“Hugh and Matt get it. The issue in the American church is not the form or the technology. It’s about what each leader is gifted with and given to become in their context. Forms are dictated by multiple streams of input and relational intersection. May there be a new diaspora of AND churches.” — Dave Gibbons, pastor of NewSong, author of The Monkey and the Fish
