Reggie McNeal Conference

A couple folks have asked me to blog more about the Reggie McNeal conference I attended on Monday. I'll do so quickly.

Reggie is a nice guy who likes to undermine his listeners assumptions.

The gist of his message was:
Get out of the church business.
Get into the kingdom business.
God is already out there go join him.
Stop doing ministry/ buildings for yourself, build them for your community.
People will lead you in how to lead them into the kingdom.

Here's what resonated with me but wasn't all that new:
The kingdom is bigger than the church.
The church is out of touch with the world outside it's walls. (ie. my conversation about being unchurched)

Here's what I really wanted to ask Reggie.

How does it feel for you to come in a give a seminar and then afterwards no one really does what you suggest.
