I had no trouble with the video and believe it is worth the wait if you have to. Mike’s experience with his church will help lead the next generation as well as the rest of us into ministry that matters outside the walls of any church building. We are commissioned to evangelize the world and Mike’s church is active in that calling. The fields are white with the harvest. We have to get working in a way that matters to our brothers and sisters in the Lord – taking pages from the reality of God’s Word.

Hmmm, no problem downloading at all, and was a great interview. I have never heard Mike Slaughter personally before, though have read some of his stuff. I like his accent too!

Thanks for an awesome interview about having the heart of Jesus and how to practically make that happen, very encouraging. Would pay for that kind of leadership training!!

Thanks for posting the interview. Mike had some great points.

I’ve been working with youth the past six years and I noticed a change that Mike also pointed out. While they still want to do some ‘fun’ things, they also really have a desire to go out and make a difference. I really liked the idea of moving from mortar to missions- What ways do you get your congregation to understand this?

Thanks for the Challenge and the word of encouragement!
In Him,
Scott

Thanks for the interview and I agree it was refreshing to hear about their desire to work outside the church. I like the concept of church restart and wished they went into more detail about that. With so many churches dying I think this could be exciting. I know it would be easier to start a fresh home group then it would to restart something that has a history of tradition…….but it has caught my ear.

WOW!!! it was encouraging to listen to someone with a like minded heart towards the lost, and the church. Keep up the good work and may the Lord multiply 100 fold and more all that you do for His Glory….

This was refreshing! I have to admit my cynicism when I found out he pastored a big church which translates to a lot of spectators in my mind. Sorry about that. I was so pleased/elated to hear his thinking on spending money on missions rather than mortar. I feel there is a ground swell of smaller yet dynamic churches breaking out as real discipleship is jumpstarted again. For anyone that’s interested, Neil Cole’s book Organic Church has a lot of great insight on refocusing on discipleship and planting small but dynamic missional churches. Thanks Steve and Mike for the interview.

Loved this interview. So inspiring to hear a discussion on inspiring congregations to get out and do the work of mission and ministry and not simply become megastructures for the sake of it. This seems to be such an era when size, big facilities, and a mentality of what do I get out of it…seem to be very prevalent in our church culture.

This is an excellent resource and I plan to play it at our next leadership meeting. Thanks so much!!

Definitely worth the wait- it took between 5-10 minutes this AM to download and played without pauses. Profound truth: “Crowds do not represent the committed”. He reiterated my heartcry for discipleship building, missional communities. “Building intimate atmospheres in multiple places”……..Let it be.

Thanks for sharing this Steve- very encouraging. To you and all of you who weathered the blows and began to pave the way through the 80’s and 90’s as described in this video- Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thanks for working on the video because I couldn’t load the last one and the one before played with constant pauses.
