We have been in thought for some time regarding the definition of what a “heathy church” looks like. Seeing how the Bible speaks to all things, here is my list of nine traits I see of a healthy church according to Acts 2:42-47:
What would you add to the list? What would you take away?

Pastor Mike Fanning’s gave our youth a message tonight at Velocity on Paul’s prayer requests and how to pray. Will you/Can you pray this way with us this week?
Discipline yourself.
I dare you!

The following is a video we played for our teenagers demonstrating what spiritual discipline looks like in my life and how I implement it. It was a powerful illustration that the teens really latched onto.
How are you spiritually disciplining yourself?

I got a chance to sit down and talk to Ken Davis about his trip with Compassion and how God is using him in the ministry. It was a great conversation and an awesome ability to highlight the need to resolve spiritual apathy and move into being more spiritually authentic.
Here is the video:
What a great guy.
P.S. I love having Julie (as Ken talks about on the video) on our youth staff. She is an unreal servant of the Lord.

To those that pray in Jesus name:
I’m assembling an e-mail group/team for those that would be willing to provide prayer support regarding ministry/personal related items. If you would have the desire and be willing to commit (seriously) to praying for future us, our ministry, and our family related items as they present themselves, please simply comment or send a message with your name and e-mail address so I can add you to the list.
Blessings.
