Is the Church going in the right direction?

Ive been thinking alot lately about the current state of the evangelical church. I wonder if this is truly what God intended the church to look like? Would the services look different if Jesus was pastoring a church? Would there be concert lights, big screens, coffee shops, clothing stores, ect?

I'm curious what you think. Do you think the church is heading in the right direction or have they missed a turn or two along the way? Let me know. You can post anonymously if you want to truly speak your mind.

I want to know what Podcasts you listen to on a regular basis and why you keep coming back to listen or view?

Are you Educating Yourself?

For the past several years I have simply found myself flouting through my career. I know the areas I am good at and I know the ones I'm not. I tend to stay away from the areas where i'm weakest. The past several months I have found I needed to re educate myself on industry trends, technology and economics in my field. Its the first time in a while I have had to start learning...and I actually like it!

I have determined to become an expert on certain new areas in my field where just a few months ago I knew little. Have you found yourself in a similar situation? Let me know about it. What books are reading to further your knowledge in a particular area? If not cant answer that I encourage you to hit the bookstore or amazon and start finding where your passion as moved to.
