Throughout history, especially the last 200 years, everything has constantly and consistently changed. No one would deny that.
However, today, it’s not just that things are changing; it’s that nothing is the same as it was just a few years ago. We aren’t just living in changing times; we are living in a time of […]
I have a love/hate relationship when it comes to church. I love the way God designed his church. I hate the way church often looks when it ceases to be the church God designed.
Do you understand why I say this? How do you feel about church if you go to church? How do you […]
One of the little-known facts about me is that once upon a time in the Air Force I was in munitions’ maintenance and transportation – in other words, I played with bombs. I was trained to work with conventional and non-conventional munitions (bombs, bullets, rockets, and missiles) and I had a pretty good understanding […]

This book just made my top ten best list for the 1990’s. I give it four stars. Finally, a book about the millennial generation that makes sense. Tapscott calls them the N-Gen for Net Generation. He uses the dates […]
Our new book, Effective Staffing for Vital Churches, is now on sale in print, for Kindle, and maybe for Nook on November 1. Many have pre-ordered and we thank you. We believe it is one of our best books to date. Rick Warren thought so too, writing, “This book is a winner.”
We are getting […]
One of the things I’ve noticed over the years is that pastors, for one reason or another, are the most disorganized group on the planet. I know because I’m one of them. Once, years ago, I was supposed to have dinner with a member of the church, and I forgot. Did I ever have […]
I’ve never been very good at catching subtle hints, but I was pretty good at laying them out there. For years, I worked with churches and tried to lead with gentle-ish suggestions, but little changed. It was in Loganville, Georgia where I intentionally made a change.
I was the pastor of a historic church on […]

From Bill Easum in response to many posts
Don’t take this wrong but why are so many of you requiring yourself to do so much counseling? Sounds as if some of you are investing more time in this than in reaching the unchurched, never churched and dechurched. The more you insist on you doing three sessions with […]
