Todd Hunter has a new web site: toddhunter.org! There you will find Todd’s personal blog, information about his new book Christianity Beyond Belief, and ways to connect with Todd online as well as live and in person.

In the next few weeks we will be reorganizing this web site in response to some of our learning from the 30-Day Pilot Program. You will see some changes coming soon!

We hope to create a space here where you can find out more about starting a 3 is Enough group, interact with others who are participating in 3 is Enough groups, and learn together how to practically follow Jesus for the sake of others in the context of your everyday lives.

My name is Elizabeth Chapin and I will be adminstering this site. You can find out more about me on my blog at www.chapin.com. I pray that you will find encouragement here for your journey.

My book Christianity Beyond Belief is now available. If you haven’t already placed your order, you can order one today!

In Christianity Beyond Belief, Todd Hunter concludes this formative work inviting readers into “A New Way to Live” through 3 is Enough Groups. Many have already begin practicing this new way to live through Todd’s 3 is Enough 30-Day Pilot Program.

The 3 is Enough 30-Day Pilot Program is nearing completion with over 40 groups following God in the way of Jesus, praying, growing and serving together in the normal rhythms and routines of their lives. As the Pilot Program concludes, we will be making some changes to 3isenough.org. Stay tuned as you will be seeing those changes taking place in the next couple of weeks.

Here are some highlights from the 3 is Enough Pilot Program:

We are growing in relationship and support of one another by getting out of our comfort zone and risking by sharing ourselves. We are growing by reading and studying and discussing such. We are growing by being open to what is happening around us and to what the Holy Spirit is leading (And trying to keep it simple!). We are growing by being relational with others. And we are growing through praying for others and serving.

We are reading 3 chapters of Acts each week and sharing our observations, discoveries and heart sense from the Scriptures. We seek together God’s best for His body and His wisdom as we look forward, pressing into God’s plans for His church in Friday Harbor. We all sense He is up to something, stirring hearts to be the church.

Serving in the natural flow and rhythms of life…wow, we are finding that we have been trained to see serving as something we do outside of normal life rhythms and patterns. I can’t thank all of you enough for this conversation, may it spread to more and more people. 3 is Enough is encouraging our triad to rethink some of our ways and beliefs. So good! My friend commented the other day that there is something different and special in gathering with just 3 people. It seems there is time for listening to God as well as sharing, maybe more of a focus on the one thing that God may be speaking into the life of each group member. We are loving the journey thus far.

Just want to second the idea of cultivating (and keeping and living out) a disposition of service rather than just doing service projects here and there, only to remain essentially ego-driven. I have certainly done service projects either motivated by ego from the get-go or later dropped a genuine disposition of service once I’m back home with my family or back to my job. In our TiE group, we’re definitely pursuing a disposition of service and discussing how that is playing itself out (or not) in our typical routines.

Stay tuned to learn more about starting your own 3 is Enough group!

Thank you to all of you who have signed up for the 3iE 30 Day Pilot Program. We now have 40+ groups who have signed up. At this point I need to bring signups to an end. — Todd

Ok, you’ve tried every kind of small group program there is.

But have you ever been part of a small group like this?

  • Find 2-3 people
  • Meet for 30-60 minutes
  • Once a week
  • Before work – at lunch or over dinner
  • No one person has to lead all the time
  • Read books you like
  • Serve others in fun, doable and simple ways
  • Pray with each other

The Campaign
I need 30 people to launch and lead 30 3 is Enough groups for 30 days.

All 30 groups will launch simultaneously the first week of January 2009.

I need to test this idea in real life and get the template set for a larger launch when my book comes out in February of 2009.

What’s Involved?

  • Review 3 is Enough details here
  • Recruit two other friends or colleagues
  • Participate in one pre launch conference training call with Todd and other leaders(1/5)
  • Meet 4 times in 30 days (weekly)
  • Provide feedback in online blog
  • Participate in weekly training conference calls during 30 day campaign (they will be available as podcasts for those unable to make the call)
