Mission 120 Update

Thursday, 09 September 2021 by Indiana Ministries
By Tom Planck For a few years now, we have been operating under an important assumption. That assumption is that church multiplication movement happens when churches are making disciples to multiple generations of reproduction. Disciples who make disciples is the engine that drives churches planting churches.  Said another way, disciple-making is an accelerator for healthy

Thursday, 12 August 2021 by Indiana Ministries
doug-1
By Doug Talley I recently read a blog by Dan Reiland (Executive Pastor at 12Stone Church in Atlanta, GA) in which he writes about people drifting from the church during the pandemic.  You’ve probably noticed this in your church.  Though I’ve not done a formal study, I hear from pastors that their attendance right now is

By Jeff Matas It was a beautiful Sunday morning in southern Indiana as I pulled into the church parking lot. After a two-hour drive from Fishers, I arrived at one of the most picturesque settings in the entire state. Rolling hills, rivers, lush pastures, forests, and a beautiful country church where I was to speak

Update on United City Church

Tuesday, 29 June 2021 by Indiana Ministries
By Doug Talley Ministry is challenging.  If you are a pastor or lay leader, you know that.  Church planting is challenging on steroids.  Starting a church from scratch, gathering people, developing leaders, developing finances, developing and casting a vision, launching.  All of those pieces are critical aspects of planting a church and can be overwhelming.  Imagine launching a church and

By Doug Talley Now that COVID infection rates have dropped significantly in the U.S. and summer is in full stride, many are so desperate for a return to normalcy that they want to ignore the impact of what happened over the last 17 months.  We’d like to shake it off as a bad dream or maybe

When Ministry Becomes an Idol

Thursday, 13 May 2021 by Indiana Ministries
By Jeff Matas Seventeen years ago, I sat at my kitchen table writing out a plan for that night’s church board meeting. It was a beautiful July day in the Pacific Northwest. It was one of those days in the Puget Sound that people cherish, bright blue skies and as locals would say, “the mountain

Throw in the Towel, Survive or Thrive?

Wednesday, 21 April 2021 by Indiana Ministries
doug-1
By Doug Talley One area COVID has rocked our world as pastors is in the area of self-confidence.  When the lockdown struck, no one knew what to do.  Things were changing so quickly that in a matter of hours we were making decisions and then retracting them after they had already been announced.  And as we did, we

Expectations, Unhealed Wounds, and Karpman’s Drama Triangle

Thursday, 01 April 2021 by Indiana Ministries
doug-1
By Doug Talley Expectations.  Ever since we were kids, we’ve developed expectations of other people, events, situations, and ourselves that led to disappointment when they weren’t realized.  One reason COVID has hit us all so hard is that it took our expectations for 2020 and much of 2021 and then beat them repeatedly over our
