This was a good day. Here are some thoughts about church planting and maybe another random thing or two.  I also finished reading, Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die.  It was a really good read.  Surprisingly the book had a lot of scriptural references.  I think I will be able to use this book as a resources as a pastor and church planter in the future.  I would recommend this to anyone who is in sales, public speaking, training or marketing.

I am super, super, super stoked that Starbucks Coffee Company is partnering with (Red) and giving a portion of every holiday drink sold to the Global Fund with a vision to “Make Poverty History”.  Buy Starbucks holiday drinks with confidence that they are giving back.

Because I am a partner at Starbucks I am excited this is happening but also because I am a Follower of Jesus, I am excited to see this happen.  Jesus Followers care about the “least of these” and we (together) can make a difference.  As excited I am for a huge mega company, Starbucks, to be partnering to help make our world a better place; I can’t help but to think if the Church, which is, Followers of Jesus would just be doing what that are “supposed” to be doing… would we even need something like (RED) or ONE or the Global Fund?

What part does Epic Church need to play in making our community, city and world a better place?
