Ed Stetzer: How to Pastor People in an Age of Outrage

Churches, like college freshman, often struggle with declaring their major. The consequence of their indecision causes a major dilemma...With no clear sense of purpose, they never set a clear strategy. What they do to fulfill what they think God wants constantly changes. They languish in seeming shadow-lands where forward momentum always seems one step out of reach. Transformational Churches have leaders who understand their vision and purpose. A clear desire for changed lives is part of the new scorecard. They are not always looking for another "thing" to try for faster results. TC [Transformational Church] leaders instead watch and learn from the best practices of others to inform an already clear understanding of their context.
