“I have known Greg since 2008. He’s not just talking about multiplying missional communities, he’s doing it.”

Will Mancini

“Greg brings a rare combination of passion and insight for helping people practice missional living. I have seen the fruit of his work first hand.”

Dr. Jock Ficken

“Most of us know or have a sense that “things aren’t working the way they used to work” in our congregations.  And, most of us are experimenting and pressing on new things...Greg understands what’s going on and can help build a “sending” culture in your congregation.”

Rev. Jeff Meyer

“If God has convinced you that the goal of your leadership in the church is not to get the community to come to church, but to get the church into the community; and, if you realize that you will need some encouragement and guidance from a brother who has become convinced of that himself and has navigated those waters in his own life and leadership, then Greg Finke and Dwelling 1:14 will be just what you need.”

  • How Discipling Works: Part 2

    How do you disciple someone?

    Last weekend I was in Michigan talking with a room full of people about this very question. Afterwards, I was standing at the door saying goodbye to the folks when one elderly man came up to me and said, "You make it sound almost too simple."  I smiled and said, "Maybe that's because we've made it too complicated for too long."  His eyes welled up as he said, "Yeah.  Yeah, I think we have."

  • How Discipling Works: Part 1

    For years I was unsure what discipling was.  I knew how to teach people information about Jesus.  (I was trained for that.)  I knew how to inspire people with the love and truth of Jesus.  (I had good models for that.) But discipling people?

    I struggled so much, in part, because most of the rest of the western church (at least those who were writing the books) kept pointing to the delivery of even MORE information through classes as the proper way to disciple people.  So we extended our New Member Classes...

  • One Thing

    I was recently with the pastors and wives of the Pastoral Leadership Institute (PLI) at their annual conference.  It was a wonderful, overwhelming week for them.  Lots of insights.  Lots of information to take in and assimilate.  Lots of vision.  Lots of aspiration for what could be.

     

    Likewise, I coach several pastors who were at the recent Exponential conference. ...

  • A Year from Last Sunday

    So, last Sunday was Easter.

    It was a big deal for Christians around the world. And rightly so!  It is the day Jesus rose from the dead and unleashed His life and hope and powerful truth that is redeeming the world still today.  Christians gather in churches everywhere for Easter services.

    For my family, Easter Sunday started a little differently this year.  Instead of starting Easter in a church we started in an open green space by our home with about 55 neighbors from all over Westover Park (our subdivision down here...
