The Gospel is Never Neutral
By Tyler Allred
Here’s my premise: If the Bible is actually God speaking to us, if Jesus is God become human, if his death and resurrection are real, and if that “gospel” is the powerful good news Christians claim it to be, then having a neutral response is not an option.
Video: Derek Redmond
Yesterday at church I had the privilege of preaching at talk on “Awakening to Help” based off of Dave & Jon Ferguson’s book “Finding Your Way Back To God”.
During the talk I shared a video of Derek Redmond who was an olympic runner in the 1982 games.

Blessings of a Post-Christian Culture
This is a great article on living the Christian faith out in a Post Christian society. Written by Tony Kriz.
The article focuses on the church in Portland and how they are partnering to transform the city. One man who was visiting the discussion was from South Carolina and he was baffled about how the city and the church could partner so well in such a non-Christian environment like Portland.
So the man asked in the forum,
[Video] – Three Rules We Must Break To Be Effective In Evangelism
I am going to start filming a short video every week to encourage you in the sharing of your faith. I have about 70 questions or so that people have submitted to me since the release of my book and I want to answer those to help you all.
[Do you have a question that you want to submit? submit it here.]
I will be releasing the videos at my personal website www.beaucrosetto.com on a weekly basis, so subscribe there if this would be helpful to you.
Otherwise, about once a month I will put a post up here on this blog recapping the four weeks worth of videos and pointing you to where you can find those.
BUT I JUST FILMED THE FIRST ONE – ITS 5 MINUTES LONG
Our Church Failed – 3 Lessons Learned
Last month we decided to shut our church plant down. Very disappointing news and I am still confused, saddened, and learning from the failure.
I hesitated to even write about it, but in the end I am about honesty, and helping planters grow. Therefore, we need to share the wins and the losses.
I know that my identity is not the success or failure of my ventures, so I feel I can talk about it in an objective way. I also know that if you are apostolic and entrepreneurial then you are going to fail sometimes. It’s part of starting things and part of taking risks.
So here I share with you my biggest ministry failing since becoming Christian.

Finding Your Way Back To God
“For nine-tenths of us, believing in God is not the problem. The real issue is belonging. We have lost track of how to be in relationship with God.” – Pg 11
Dave and Jon Ferguson, founders of Community Christian Church in Chicago, have put out a REMARKABLE book this week. It is called Finding Your Way Back To God and it is designed for seeking people that long for connection with God but don’t know how to make that happen.
Pray For Fraternity & Sorority Students Today
As many of you know my wife and I work with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship with a specific emphasis in reaching fraternity and sorority students. We moved to LA two and a half years ago to start a ministry that would reach all 17 Greek Systems in the Greater Los Angeles area.
One of the highlights of the year is National Greek Conference in Indianapolis and it is this weekend. There are 650 students here – all Greek – and they are seeking God and surrendering their life to him in many ways. We have flown out over 20 students from LA to be a part of this awesome conference.
