Carey’s latest post is focused on small groups and how groups serve the local church. Pastor Carey is a church expert with keen insight in this season.
Here are few quotes from Carey.
Churches that focus on this will grow. Churches that get lost in politics, ideology, hype or anything off mission won’t — at least not the long term.
Authentic, loving and genuine community are more scarce than they have ever been in our lifetime.
Moving forward, the competitive advantage of the local church isn’t content, it’s community and connection.

Here is a recent post from Seth.
What if you replaced “doing” with “improving” or “reinventing” or “transforming”?
When we do our job, what happens to it? Does it go away, to be replaced by tomorrow’s endless list of tasks? What would happen if we had enough confidence and trust to reconsider the implications of how we do what we do?

You can’t fall if you don’t climb. But there’s no joy in living your whole life on the ground. (Unknown) Don’t be a slave to fear. Being a climber lets go of all the problems below while gripping onto the question of how to get to the top (Caroline, age 12). God is an everlasting rock. (Isaiah 26:4) Our faith steadies us and allows us to focus on what lies ahead rather than what’s behind us.

Delay does not mean Denial. (Vernon Wright) Therefore wait for me, declares the Lord. (Zephaniah 3:8) He is working during your wait. While it usually doesn’t make sense logically, there is a purpose in the delay. What you are experiencing is the answer to someone else’s question. There is a process to the access.
