As communicators in a culture saturated with storylines, we have
the profound opportunity to invite our students into the masterful
Story of God. There are a variety of ways to invite our students
into this Story, but this book discusses and explores how to teach
through one of Jesus' most powerful modes of
communication--fictional storytelling. Rabbinical storytelling
(otherwise known as Jewish Agada) embraces the narrative of
Scripture and invites its listeners into understanding and
participation. Our Rabbi, Jesus, employed this mode of
communication through his parables. Approaching the topic as a
theologian, philosopher and artist, Jon invites and teaches how to
create modern-day parables that illuminate the message of Jesus.
These stories do not simply illustrate the message; they are, in
fact, the message. Whether hoping to articulate deep theological
concepts or relevant topics, teaching through the art of fictional
storytelling has the potential to engage and invite our students
into The Story. In this book: *You will learn how to create your
own fictional stories (modern day parables) that use a realistic
setting, engaging characters and a thought provoking plot to
communicate a specific topic. *You are given practical worksheets
that offer guidance in developing such stories *Jon includes a
variety of stories he has developed over his years of youth
ministry and offers them as a resource to any youth
pastor/communicator. 'I found myself wrapped up in its pages and
receiving personal learning. It's a rarity in youth ministry as it
has the potential of impacting not only youth but also their youth
leaders.' --Dan Kimball - author of They Like Jesus but Not the
Church
Many Christians faith exists as a loose collection of unexamined
cliches and slogans borrowed from songs, devotional books, sermon
illustrations, and even the internet. Too often this belief system
(if it can be called a system ) lacks coherence and
intelligibility; it can hardly be expressed, let alone defended, to
others. The problem with folk religion is that it too easily
withers under the onslaughts of secularism or seemingly reasonable
answers provided by cults and new religions. Christianity has a
long tradition of intellectual examination of other faiths and its
own beliefs. Socrates said that the unexamined life is not worth
living; great Christian minds of all the ages have believed the
unexamined faith is not worth believing. Reflective Christianity is
Christian faith that has subjected itself to the rigorous
questioning of Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience. It is
mature Christian faith that goes on believing even as it questions
what it believes. The goal of this book is not to destroy anyone s
faith but to build it up by placing it on a firmer foundation of
critical examination. Ten popular Christian cliches are subjected
to critical inquiry and interrogated to discover whether they
contain truth or are in error. In most cases the conclusion
is---both. The aim is not to tear down straw men but to demonstrate
a path toward stronger, more mature Christian belief."
Churches are aging. Even among megachurches with their modern
technology and huge number of members, whole generations are now
missing. In order to reach the 18-35 year olds, churches need to
incorporate alternative worship services into their ministries that
meet the unique needs of the emerging generations. In a
conversational, narrative style, author Dan Kimball guides church
leaders on how to create alternative services from start to finish.
Using anecdotes from his own experience at Graceland, Kimball
presents six creative models, providing real-life examples of each
type. Emerging Worship covers key topics including * Developing a
prayer team * Evaluating the local mission field and context *
Determining leaders and a vision-based team * Understanding why
youth pastors are usually the ideal staff to start a new service *
Recognizing the difference in values between emerging worship and
the rest of the church * Asking critical questions beforehand
Includes .Samples and photos of emerging church worship gatherings
.Recommended resources for the emerging church The seeker-sensitive
movement revolutionized the way we did church and introduced
countless baby boomers to Jesus. Yet trends show that today s
post-Christian generations are not responding like the generations
before them. As we enter a new cultural era, what do worship
services look like that are connecting with the hearts of emerging
generations? How do preaching, leadership, evangelism, spiritual
formation, and, most of all, how we even think of church need to
change? The Emerging Church goes beyond just theory and gets into
very practical ways of assisting you in your local church
circumstances. There is no one right way, no model for us all to
emulate. But there is something better. Dan Kimball calls it
Vintage Christianity: a refreshing return to an unapologetically
sacred, raw, historical, and Jesus-focused missional ministry.
Vintage Christianity connects with emerging post-seeker generations
who are very open spiritually but are not interested in church. For
pastors, leaders, and every concerned Christian, Kimball offers a
riveting and easy-to-grasp exploration of today s changing culture
and gives insight into the new kind of churches that are emerging
in its midst. Included is running commentary by Rick Warren, Brian
McLaren, Howard Hendricks, and others."
In this six-session small group Bible study, They Like Jesus But
Not the Church, Dan Kimball explores and addresses the most common
objections and misconceptions about Christianity. Ask someone today
if he or she likes Jesus, and the answer is usually yes. But ask if
that person likes the church, and chances are you will get a far
less favorable response. Led by author Dan Kimball, this
six-session small group Bible study will help you explore and
respond truthfully, caringly, and engagingly to the most common
objections and misunderstandings culture has about the church and
Christianity. Through interviews with those who like Jesus but not
the church and teaching by Dan Kimball, this small group Bible
study will teach you how to respond to the common objections of the
faith. Includes discussion questions and resource listings. This
Participant Guide is designed for use together with the They Like
Jesus But Not the Church DVD (sold separately) and includes
discussion questions for individuals and groups. When used
together, they provide you with a practical tool than can
strengthen your faith. Sessions include: 1. The Danger of the
Christian Bubble 2. Is the Church Negative, Judgmental, and
Political? 3. Does the Church Restrict and Oppress Women? 4. Is the
Church Homophobic? 5. Do Christians Arrogantly Think All Other
Religions Are Wrong? 6. Are Christians Fundamentalists Who Take The
Whole Bible Literally?

In "Off-Road Disciplines, " Earl Creps reveals that the on-road
practices of prayer and Bible reading should be bolstered by the
other kinds of encounters with God that occur
unexpectedly--complete with the bumps and bruises that happen when
you go "off-road." Becoming an off-road leader requires the
cultivation of certain spiritual disciplines that allow the
presence of the Holy Spirit to arrange your interior life. Earl
Creps explores twelve central spiritual disciplines--six personal
and six organizational--that Christian leaders of all ages and
denominations need if they are to change themselves and their
churches to reach out to the culture around them.
Would Jesus Attend Church Today?Among the top ten trends that are
changing American life, Time magazine recently listed a rising
dissatisfaction with organized religion. Though many people today
like Jesus, they are growing tired of traditional religious
institutions. Even those who follow Jesus aren't so sure they
always like what Christianity and the church represent.For many
years, Dan Kimball would have agreed, until an encounter with a
small group of Jesus followers started him on a journey that
challenged him to rethink everything he had ever assumed about the
church.and amp;nbsp; In Adventures in Churchland, Dan invites you
to join him as he uncovers what the Bible really says about the
church and reminds us that it s more than just buildings and
institutions, it s a beautiful mess of broken people learning to
follow Jesus together. As you journey with Dan, you ll begin to see
the church as Jesus intended it to be: a community of forgiven
misfits coming together to serve the world around them with
passion, creativity, innovation, and grace. 'If you don t like the
church, or if you re thinking about leaving, please read this book
first. Dan s stories will make you laugh, make you think, and make
you appreciate the church like never before.' Mark Batterson,
author of The Circle Maker As a non-Christian, I was inspired and
moved, and have been enthusiastically recommending it to my
friends. This is a book for everybody.' Mark Frauenfelder,
editor-in-chief of MAKE, founder of boingboing.net 'Dan encourages
us to break through the tension and messiness that church
communities inevitably encounter to experience the beauty of being
in community and sharing God's infinite love with others.' Zach
Lind, drummer, Jimmy Eat World'I am so glad that my friend Dan has
written this book, because there is a lot of confusion out there
about Jesus and the church.' Wanda Jackson, Queen of Rockabilly and
member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame"
El movimiento del buscador sensitivo revoluciono la forma en que
hicimos iglesia y le presentamos a Jesus a muchos de la generacion
X. Sin embargo, la tendencia muestra que las generaciones
postcristianas de hoy no estan respondiendo como las generaciones
que les antecedieron. Mientras entramos a una nueva era cultural,
que hace parecer que los servicios de adoracion estan conectando
con los corazones de las generaciones emergentes? Como necesitan
cambiar la predicacion, el liderazgo, el evangelismo, la formacion
espiritual y, mas que todo, la iglesia? La iglesia emergente va mas
alla de la sola teoria y ofrece formas practicas de asistirte en
medio de tus circunstancias en la iglesia local. No hay un modo
totalmente correcto, ningun modelo para que todos emulemos. Sin
embargo, si hay algo mejor. Dan Kimball lo llama 'cristianismo
clasico'. Un regreso fresco a un ministerio misionero no
apologetico, sagrado, historico y centrado en Cristo. El
cristianismo clasico conecta con las nuevas generaciones de
buscadores que estan abiertos espiritualmente, pero no estan
interesados en la iglesia. Para pastores, lideres y cristianos
concernidos, Kimball ofrece una exploracion cautivante y facil de
captar de la cultura cambiante de hoy, y brinda una idea de las
nuevas clases de iglesias que estan emergiendo en medio de la
misma. Incluye comentarios de Rick Warren, Brian McLaren, Howard
Hendricks y otros."
Many people today, especially among emerging generations, don t
resonate with the church and organized Christianity. Some are
leaving the church and others were never part of the church in the
first place. Sometimes it s because of misperceptions about the
church. Yet often they are still spiritually open and fascinated
with Jesus. This is a ministry resource book exploring six of the
most common objections and misunderstandings emerging generations
have about the church and Christianity. The objections come from
conversations and interviews the church has had with unchurched
twenty and thirty-something s at coffee houses. Each chapter raises
the objection using a conversational approach, provides the
biblical answers to that objection, gives examples of how churches
are addressing this objection, and concludes with follow-through
projections, suggestions, discussion questions, and resource
listings."
