Why Blog It All Over The Place??

For the last several years I thought that things like Twitter and Blogs in general were for "bleeders".  In fact many people do bleed out for all to see more than not.  Drama everywhere.  

The whole purpose of this blog (and we don't know how long we'll keep it going) is to chronicle the thoughts, revelations, and observations of a core group planting a church in Knoxville, TN from the beginning days.  We promise we won't bleed.  There is in fact a lot of carnage, loss, and pain in such an endeavor, but our desire is to carry every experience to the cross of Jesus.

We endeavor to see everything through gospel-centered glasses, and any experience that doesn't eventually point to Jesus typically points to ourselves.  This is because mankind is broken and we are totally fascinated with ourselves when left to ourselves.  If we don't show you the very good gospel, we end up, well.......bleeding all over you.

We plan on planting many more churches and works all over the area, because we believe it is the best and most efficient way to reach a city.  This blog, we hope, will help future planters and plant team members understand the battle and victory felt in the early days.  Why blog all of this all over the place? Because we want to steward the experiences we all feel by leaving them as a legacy and guide to the next generation of church planters.
