Radical Church, the World Has Gone Crazy & The Ultimate Issue

“Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.”

~ Oscar Wilde

Welcome to another Thursday UNFILTERED blog post, the only blog that gives the Conservative Right nightmares and the Progressive Left panic attacks.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve spoken with a number of ministry leaders.

Independent of each other, they’ve said, “the world has gone crazy.”

For those of you who are new to my work, I wrote the Survival Guide on the Current Virus Crisis to help you navigate these troubling times.

The guide is not only about the virus, it also goes into how to handle the trials that surround it.

How can I not waste this crisis? When will things get back to normal? Is the virus God’s judgment? Will it change the shape of the church (as many have predicted)? What is God doing through it? What about all those conspiracy theories, etc.? All of those questions are addressed in the guide.

As ironic as it sounds, if I sold the book, it would be read by far more people. Alas, most don’t value what’s given away. Nevertheless, if you love satire and humor and want a different view of the invisible menace, you’ll enjoy the guide.

On a somewhat related note, back in 2014, I delivered a message at a conference called “The Ultimate Issue.” We just published it on our YouTube channel.

You can listen to it below.

I hope it speaks to you where you are at in life right now.

In addition, we recently published two interviews on Radical Church that I did with Jim Wallace. Check them out here:

I’m releasing these now because I anticipate a resurgence of interest in radical ecclesiology over the next 5 years.

(The term “radical church/ecclesiology” is more fitting because the phrase “organic church” is so ubiquitous it has lost all meaning.)

Consider these two interviews to be planting seeds for a future harvest.

Until Next Thursday,

Your brother in the Insurgence,
