No, you’ll just have to tell people to listen to the podcast when they call you a heretic.
It’s an advanced marketing scheme.
I’m sure some consultants are cookie cutter. What i know is that our church was much healthier when we had a church consultant (we no longer have one) who was asking us question and teaching our congregation what it means to make disciples. I liked to think of the consultant we had as a mentor for our senior pastor, and everyone should have a mentor. I think it can be done very well and it can be done very poorly. It was done well here.
@rusty i think that is what matt and i both would agree with that statement. someone who comes in from the outside with questions and a fresh pair of eyes is ALWAYS a great idea.
what i have found hard in those situations, is a willingness of the congregation to hear what is being said
I would suggest adding to your blog the ‘buttons’ for iTunes or the instructions. Your RSS feed is only a couple of extra clicks (when you know how), but I did not know how to use and it took me an extra day to get you added to my iTunes. And I have been using PC’s since before Apple ][’s and marketing websites since 1995.
I mention this only because it looks like you have some good content that I encourage others to look at. Keep it up.
Hey Bob,
Thanks for your thoughts. We will be adding said buttons when/if we decide we want to keep doing this regularly. We might also have something up our sleeve.
don’t tease people its not nice….. but for real we need to get working on the ‘launch’
