Occasionally I find my skin crawling at the question "how big's your church?" It's funny really but it seems that our 'movement' (if that's what it is) has become a little too intent on being small. I'm not saying that small is bad, but I am saying that a faith community that isn't growing isn't healthy. I think the perspective needs to be planting lots and keeping them small, rather than just 'being small.'

I'm not scalding myself for letting my skin crawl at those questions though. It'd be nice if people asked "so how's your disciple making coming along" - other forms of growth are just as important.

I think I'm rambling.
