I missed it. I had just stumbled onto "3 is enough" on iTunes. Sounds great. I look forward to getting involved. So... When do you plan to move from the pilot phase to launch? Peace, Tim Crap! I missed it. I had just stumbled onto “3 is enough” on iTunes. Sounds great. I look forward to getting involved. So…

When do you plan to move from the pilot phase to launch?

Peace, Tim

One tip: remember, the more natural, organic, and connected to the actual rthyms and routines of our lives, the better these groups and their serving will be. Todd Hey Freinds,

I am thrilled to hear what you are doing–this is a dream come true!

One tip: remember, the more natural, organic, and connected to the actual rthyms and routines of our lives, the better these groups and their serving will be.

Anyone who wants to see how and why we've been talking about them and prioritizing them among other church practices can look here: http://getting-free.blogspot.com/2008/05/making-disciples-of-jesus.html. We're really just getting started beyond a couple of groups that got going several months ago and wrapped up recently with really good feedback. My current group (consisting of myself, a fellow leader of the church plant, and a financial planner friend that I frequently work with) is working through the 12 steps of AA, slightly modified to be general regarding our addictions and explicit about Jesus as the Power greater than we are that can restore us. We're using Trevor Hudson's One Day at a Time and Miller's Hunger for Healing, as well as other sources for help and ideas for working each step explicitly for growth in Christ. So that's how we're pursuing 'growth.' On prayer: A few of the 12 steps explicitly call for prayer, and others just get you to your knees! (I've worked them just once before with someone else.) We'll be learning a different way to pray as well as actually pray together sometimes when we meet to talk about our process with the steps. On service: The high points of service in the steps come with making amends and eventually inviting others to work the steps with us as we complete step 12. I'm excited and a little nervous, to be honest, even though I've gone through the steps once already very recently. More amends are waiting to be made! Woo Hoo! Gettin' real!
