The Value of Story

My team made me aware of an awesome resource for storytelling using media. It's a site called Deidox. The Bible speaks of the power of the word of testimony. These speak that power. If you are at all involved with church media, or if you want to be inspired, check them out. Here's the trailer:

Jesus Wants to Save Christians

Rob Bell's book Jesus Wants to Save Christians is rocking my world. Here's a quote:
"When the goal of a church is to get people into church services and then teach them how to invite people to come to church services, so that they in turn will bring others to more church services-

That's attendance at church services.

And church is not ultimately about attending large gatherings.

Church is people.

People who live a certain way in the world."

Is a different rubric needed to identify a healthy church? I'm wrestling with this right now. How do we know if we're helping people grow?
