It’s a shame it’s so true. And Christian folks wonder why so many non-believers keep saying ‘Church’ has such a bad reputation. Christians keep turning their back on themselves because of too many fear based thought-processes. Seriously, just have someone’s back. Not that hard. Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more
Hello… Just a quick note, my cell phone broke last week while I was speaking at Anderson University and I just got a new one yesterday. Because I made the switch in carriers so I could change my phone from a Blackberry to an iPhone, the “porting” takes up to 24 hours.

I had the opportunity to read consultant Charles Lee’s new book, Good Idea. Now What?, in advance of its release. It’s amazing; and it released yesterday so I thought I’d write a little something about it. Here’s the promo video: Good Idea. Now What? Book Promo from Ideation on Vimeo. I believe that ideas are a dime a dozen; even great ones. Charles Lee knows through personal experience that shaping culture is not dependent upon the idea but rather the implementation.... Read more
This talk is amazing… It’s about how people groups end up vilifying others who don’t agree with them. I totally believe she has nailed this thing right on point. It’s well worth the 17 minutes. Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more
