Jonathan Anderson is the Executive Director of the Good News Rescue Mission in Northern California where he is changing lives by leading collaborative relationships from the heart. He, Mitch Santala, and Gil Moegerle sit down to talk about building reciprocal bonds between people and organizations in the sphere of influencing how homelessness is solved. But first, one seasoned veteran of super-hot pepper sauces schools two not-quite-as-brave souls in the art of seasoning a pollo taco. Can you guess who reaches for the pepper-flavored water and who doesn't? Pollo tacos are on the menu, but the real star of the show is the array of hot sauces. And we don't mean hot sauces, we mean hot sauces. Ghost peppers, Scorpions, and the Carolina Reaper make up bases of the condiments, culminating in Jonathan's favorite, the Mad Dog 357. Despite their pleas for Cholula and Taco Bell sauces, Mitch and Gil try one of Jonathan's favorites that he says, “is not a risk.” Mitch introduces Jonathan Anderson, the Executive Director of the Good News Rescue Mission in Redding, CA, and asks him about his most dearly held leadership principles. Jonathan talks about how his perception of his position changed over time with the development of his heart. The conversation turns to developing the hearts of others through passion. Jonathan shares his not-so-strategic business model that brings universal truth to your work. He also talks about the collaboration of various approaches and tells a very tense story about an adversarial relationship that turned into an alliance when heart and passion were applied. Gil asks Jonathan more about building collaborative relationships from square one and the realism of mutually beneficial outcomes. There is talk of entitlement on both sides of the relationship and how to break it while preserving self-worth and dignity, with a striking example of a reciprocal relationship between the Good News Rescue Mission and a local business. “It's better when everyone brings something,” says Mitch, shifting the conversation toward the public image of a local non-profit. Jonathan says that everyone has influence but asks if you have intention with your influence. Finally, the question of the hour is answered: How do we solve homelessness? Jonathan tells a story about a relationship forged between a mentor and a Mission guest…and how two lives were changed by a simple connection.

Reggie McNeal Pastor, church planter, denominational executive, leadership coach (we like that part), author of 10 books, numerous article, speaking engagements, blogs, podcasts, Sr Fellow for Leadership Network joins the podcast. In this first part of a two part interview, Reggie shares with us kingdom centric ministry and leadership as opposed to church-centric ministry. This is a powerful distinction that sets our focus toward God's preferred future and ministries that touch the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ rather than just hoping people will show up at the church. What is required is nothing short of a culture shift for it to happen in our churches and grow people. It will involve three things: The first is the story or narrative, next is the scorecard or what we pay attention to, and finally stewardship. Reggie also addresses many of the misconceptions or false assumptions about church and ministry that gets in the way of really making a difference in people's lives for both time and eternity. In the next episode Reggie will focus in on what it takes to develop people as disciples and leaders. You can learn more about this through his books and contact him through his website at reggiemcneal.org

How do you measure the health of a church family? I’m not talking about medical health. I’m talking about our discipleship to Jesus. When it comes to our belief about and practice of discipleship to Jesus, are we healthy? I know Faith Church isn’t perfect. No church is perfect. Because of that we don’t want to assume that we are doing just fine. Instead we should strive to maintain a humble, teachable posture, welcoming evaluation of ourselves. As difficult as it can be to learn that we have a problem, we need to know if we have unhealthy discipleship in our church family. We do not want to shrug off potential issues as if they are no big deal. So again I ask, how do you measure the discipleship health of a church family? Our Vision Team (comprised of our Leadership Team members, Serve Team chairpersons, and our staff) is reading Reggie McNeal’s book Missional Renaissance, in which he argues that churches need to start using a new scorecard. For too long, McNeal says, churches have been focused on the metrics of “bigger is better.” In other words, if a church family is gaining more worship attenders who give more money so they can build ever larger buildings, that church was considered to be healthy. Another metric has been applied to smaller churches, and that is their ability to keep offering worship services week in and week out. If they are continuing to pay their bills and hold worship services, they were considered to be healthy. Whether big or small, worship attendance, buildings and budgets rarely give us an accurate diagnosis of discipleship health. So what measurements do give us a picture of our health as disciples of Jesus? As we continue our sermon series through Colossians, Paul has written quite a bit about what a healthy church looks like. In chapter three he said that a healthy church focuses on things above, by removing the dirty clothes of the sinful nature, and putting on the clean clothes of new life in Christ. This coming Sunday he will teach us two practices that healthy church families make a consistent, intentional part of their lives, as they seek to be disciples of Jesus who put on those new clothes, focusing on things above. Open your Bible to Colossians 4:2-6 and then follow along with the sermon.

Glenn Barth interviews Reggie McNeal regarding "The Importance of Kingdom-centric Thinking in City Movements" The Kingdom of God is not there to serve the Church, but the Body of Christ exists to serve the Kingdom of God. As Christians, we tend to spend so much time focused on the Church and it’s issues that we neglect much of the work God is doing throughout the Earth to bring about His Kingdom. The history of the Church is full of division and fracturing and isolating us from them. We need to be focused on unity and inclusion and common ground which will allow us to serve and bring about the Kingdom of God in our communities.
Author and City Coach, Reggie McNeal interviews Good Cities founder, Glenn Barth to explore what Good Cities represents, why Glenn created Good Cities, and what is it's mission.
The Present Future is broken down into six “New Realities” that all reiterate the fact that “the present makes clearest sense in light of the future.” [5] The past 500 years have predominantly perpetuated the idea that we are headed toward the future when the reality is the future is headed toward us (the Church). On repeat, the book alludes to the fact that the Church is primarily a means to an end; that is a kingdom end. In Genesis, there was no Church and when the New Heaven and New Earth are ushered in, the Church does not exist. McNeal appropriately concludes that it must be a means to a kingdom-end. Thus, the kingdom culture is preeminent to the Church. The books strategic objective serves as a “polemical volume,” which galvanizes church leaders “to action before it’s too late.”[6] McNeal is clear in stating a tactical objective as well: “My goal is to provoke and to frame conversations that lead to action, to risk, to rediscovery of mission.”[7] “Provoke” and “galvanize” are great descriptions of what McNeal does. He gives his readers an “out” at the outset of the book: “me do not read this book if you are looking to bolster your opinion that the way to the future is charted through the past… if you fit any (or all) of these categories, take my advice and don't read this book. It will just agitate you.”[8] The major themes throughout this book are the overemphasis of Church culture and the comeback of kingdom focus. The first Reformation focused on setting the Church free from (corrupt) people whereas this New Reformation is focused on setting the people free from (what has become) the Church/institution. Basically, out with the old and in with the new. We’ve been building up the Church for 500 years now let’s get with Jesus plan of preaching the good news of the Kingdom! The gospel of the kingdom is about proclaiming the prison doors have been unlocked. A kingdom culture prevents the church from being competitors with one another. With a kingdom mindset, we become “one team one fight.” Tweetable Quotes “As he hung on the cross Jesus probably never thought the impact of this sacrifice would be reduced two an invitation for people to join and support an institution.” @ReggieMcNeal #ThePresentFuture Page 1. “The Church needs a mission fix.” @ReggieMcNeal #ThePresentFuture Page 10. “…deliverance is not just from something but to something.” @ReggieMcNeal #ThePresentFuture Page 13. “Street Church where people are already hanging out. We need a church in every mall, every Walmart SuperCenter, every Barnes& Noble.” @ReggieMcNeal #ThePresentFuture Page 35. "The power of the gospel lost on church members who can sign off on doctoral positions but have no story of personal transformation” @ReggieMcNeal #ThePresentFuture Page 36. “The first Reformation was about freeing Church. The new reformation is about creating gods people from the church (the institution).” @ReggieMcNeal #ThePresentFuture Page 43. “The test for orthodoxy typically focuses on doctrinal stances, not character in spiritual connectedness to God and others.” @ReggieMcNeal #ThePresentFuture Page 55. “To live abundantly is To borrow the future into the present.” @ReggieMcNeal #ThePresentFuture Page 73.
Glenn Barth and Good Cities have a vision to develop leaders who advance the gospel of the Kingdom and work toward the common good of the city. They define a good city as "a place where people find meaningful employment, create healthy families, live in safe neighborhoods, engage in and actively support creative arts, foster effective education, empower servant leadership in government, and live out their faith. In a good city, unjust systems are confronted and compassionate help is offered to those in need. It is a place where God’s redemptive plans are experienced by its citizens and sojourners. A good city offers the experience of God’s common grace, the opportunity to experience God’s salvation, and a future filled with hope." In this episode I talk to Glenn Barth about how leaders from every sector of the community can unite around the things we care about to make a collective impact in our cities. Glenn Barth and Reggie McNeal at Good Cities offer incredible resources to community leaders who desire to build good processes that can sustain a city movement.
