On a Quest to Change the World, One Story at a Time. Go to Main Site. Monthly Archives: January 2015. Another New Church in ATX. We are so excited to share with you that we started another new church in Austin tonight! This is the first new church we’ve started since we moved to the new apartment. This is one of the most diverse house churches we have ever started, and yet was also one of the best, first gatherings we’ve ever had with a group. I’m often struck by how one simple sentence can move so...

On a Quest to Change the World, One Story at a Time. Go to Main Site. Monthly Archives: December 2014. It was plenty cold for our “Fireside Social! 8221; We were worried no one would come since it had just rained and was 40 degrees outside! But that didn’t stop many! We had 44 of our neighbors come out for hot chocolate and smores by the fire. It was a really wonderful time! We got to share stories with each other about our Christmas traditions and the miracle of Immanuel, “God with us.”. An Apology and ...

The M Blog: Are we confusing the Kingdom of God with the United States of America?
http://guymuse.blogspot.com/2012/11/are-we-confusing-kingdom-of-god-with.html
Thoughts, experiences, and things I am learning on the mission field. Wednesday, November 7. Are we confusing the Kingdom of God with the United States of America? The following is a public letter received this morning from our friends Wolfgang and Mercy Simson in Germany. I think there is much to ponder in their words. Are we the people, who call ourselves followers of Jesus Christ confusing the Kingdom of God with the United States of America? Where do our true loyalties lie? Kind of a German. Magazine...

The M Blog: It's Lottie Moon Season!
http://guymuse.blogspot.com/2014/12/its-lottie-moon-season.html
Thoughts, experiences, and things I am learning on the mission field. Tuesday, December 2. It's Lottie Moon Season! While the amount varies from year to year, in 2013 the annual per capita giving of S. Baptists to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for global missions was $9.78. In other words, if you gave $10 last year to global missions, you were giving more than the average S. Baptist. As Lottie Moon herself asked over 100 years ago, "Why this strange indifferences to missions? What follows is a list ...

On a Quest to Change the World, One Story at a Time. Go to Main Site. Last time I wrote about how I still have very little idea what I’m doing. As you know, that doesn’t mean we aren’t trying…. Earlier this week I ran into a neighbor I hadn’t seen in over 3 months. Through this process I learned that Jean had moved here because he was separated from his wife and in the middle of working through a divorce. Sadly this is a story I hear all too often with our neighbors. I was downstairs for a baby shower we...

On a Quest to Change the World, One Story at a Time. Go to Main Site. Monthly Archives: July 2014. On Tuesday, July 15 2014 at 6:07 AM, love exploded all over St. David’s Medical Center in downtown Austin. Everyone has been telling me for the last 9 months that I have no clue how much I’m going to love our child. I figured they were right, but I naively thought I had SOME clue. Turns out, I had no clue. But at 6:07 AM God’s presence came into the room in a way I could have never anticipated. Our good fri...

On a Quest to Change the World, One Story at a Time. Go to Main Site. By Jordan Taylor Bunch. I still don’t know what I’m doing…. Learning what you don’t know isn’t any fun. The truth is, I don’t know how to be a missionary in a place like Austin. I’m still trying to figure out how to do all of that…. So I have a pretty good idea what not to do. So at least I’ve narrowed that down, but then again, I already knew that coming into this. PS I haven’t kept my new years resolution on the blog I apologize....

On a Quest to Change the World, One Story at a Time. Go to Main Site. Monthly Archives: April 2015. A New Kind of Leadership (…that also happens to be very old). I am convinced that the most important role of leadership in the church is that of the “eductive leader.” Eductive is not a word we use that often, so for those who need an introduction to the word it means, to draw forth, or to extract. What the church needs more of (perhaps more than anything) is leaders who draw forth the gifts of its members.
