This week D.G. joins Leonard Sweet and Gary Gibson to sit down in a downtown Starbucks in Louisville, KY and talk about Praxising and Leonard gets the “Dreaded 10″….questions that is. This Episode is just a little over 30 mins. long double the previous podcast’s length, but D.G. just did not want to split up the conversation, and besides he is a “Google Generation” not from the “Gutenberg Generation”. While Kevin is working hard this month on his doctorate, D.G. runs the show and has some help with his Senior Pastor, and we hope you enjoy the discussion. Here are a few links from the conversation:

And being inspired by Len I decided to make the card he talked about in the “Dreaded 10″.

About

PraxisPodcast is a podcast for practitioners by practitioners who live and praxis in Deep Kingdom. We are people who are attempting to love God and love those around us. Praxis is for those leading grassroots Christ-communities, doing the stuff, …. and those curious about newer expressions of Christ’s ancient way… We are not espousing a model but looking for God’s life active in various expressions in various contexts… Many of us do this in grassroots communities of faith preferring more organic approaches over corporate structures… We long for this to be a place for people who are part of denominations and those without a tribe… encouraging, challenging, force people to wrestle with God and community… help people realize they are not alone….They are just living out Deep Kingdom!

Thanks for the podcast with Leonard Sweet. I loved that he pointed out that Jesus was always on the fringes, but that God has already shifted into a Google mindset for being on the edges. My concern for the church is the movement into the use of technology without the Spirit’s leading. The worship movement of the 90’s moved many people into an intimacy with God that was lacking, but church’s who were not following the Spirit and were looking for the way to reach people through tweeking how they did worship, simply went out and bought equipment and let people have a go at sounding cool and in many places it was hallow. I am so grateful for technology b/c I find the best fellowship on-line sometimes, but I will be praying and encourage anyone else who reads this to do the same, that technology will not be used until there is leading to do so, not b/c it is bad, but b/c we have the chance to do things powerfully.

I agree Heather!

Technology should not be used just to use it, but prayerful consideration should be taken before its use, and I believe that it has a huge potential for the Kingdom, but please follow Heather’s advice and use it for the Kingdom creatively. And don’t be afraid to make a few mistakes while using it, but make sure it is for the right reasons.
