Coming Soon!

So 11 years ago I moved to Virginia Beach to plant a church with a friend of mine. I had no idea what I was doing. The church has done pretty well and somewhere along the line someone out there decided I knew what I was doing. That person's assumption led to my being asked to speak at a conference, and then another conference, and then another. Then I was asked to coach a church planter and a church planting network. Then I was asked to do a blog on church planting. I also have church planters e-mailing, calling, and showing up at my church all the time. Now I've been asked to fly to Poland this summer and be the main speaker for a Pastor's Convention, which is hopefully going to spark a national church planting movement. I'm supposed to teach them all about church planting.

And there's only one problem with all of this: I'm still not sure I know what I'm doing!

So, at long last, I've decided to grow my knowledge on church planting. Yes, I've planted a church, but (to be honest) I've still never read only one book on church planting (Church Planting for a Greater Harvest, by Peter Wagner, like 15 years ago). But that's about to change. I bought about 5 books and not only am I going to read them, but I'm also going to blog about them. Not in a book review kind of way - instead I'm going to share some of my thoughts on a few of the themes in the book, and ask you to share some of your thoughts. I'd like to learn from you as well - and hopefully through this we can sharpen each other. (Or we can prove that none of us know what we're doing.)

So on Monday, look for the first installments of this. Until then ... you make me feel like a natural woman.
