Everything Must Change

I am reading a book called “Everything Must Change” by Brian McLaren. He is also doing a tour to go along with the book called Everything Thing Must Change Tour. I have added a few videos and a brief statement on what his book and tour are advocating. To be up front, I don’t hold to everything Brian says or promotes. I do appreciate his heart for Jesus and how he encourages the church to reclaim it’s mission. Check out the videos and link above which leads to his Everything Must Change Tour site.

Hope you enjoy!

“Something’s Going On. I feel it when people come up to me at events and conferences, or when I read their emails or letters, and see statements like these…”

• I’ve never felt like I fit in the traditional church.
• I love Jesus, but I’m not too excited about Christianity in its current form or the church in its dominant expression.
• When I read your books, I feel like shouting, “So I’m not the only person who feels this way! I’m not crazy after all – or if I am, I’m not the only one!”
• It feels like we’ve kind of missed the point of what Jesus was about.
• I’m not religious, and I’m not that sure what “spiritual” means – but I’m looking for something, some way of life or pattern that makes sense of things.
• I used to be a pastor (or youth pastor, or church leader, or active church attender) but something stopped working. I dropped out and thought I had lost my faith, but when I read your book, I thought, “Maybe I can believe again after all.”
• The world’s in deep trouble. Sincere people of faith need to find some way to make a constructive, creative difference.
