Catalyst National Tour in Chicago! Last night I had dinner with Tim Stevens and Kem Meyer from Granger Community Church in Granger, IN. Tim is the Exective Pastor and Kem is the Communications Director for what has become an incredibly influential church with a leadership culture that attracts and develops high level leaders. I asked Tim and Kem how that kind of culture is created and nurtured...here is another raw, simple, and hopefully encouraging video interview thrown together in Tim's office after dinner...

Catalyst National Tour in Chicago! I asked Tim Harlow, Lead Pastor at Parkview Christian Church in Orland Park, IL, several questions about the story of their church and what he has been learning as the leader of a 5,000 person church in south suburban Chicago, an area with strong Catholic traditions.

Check out this video with Tim in his office sharing more about what ministry is like in Chicago, questions of leadership development in light of a fast growth rate in their church, AND what Tim is learning right now...

Catalyst National Tour in Chicago! Dave Ferguson, Lead Pastor and Spiritual Entrepreneur with Community Christian Church and the NewThing Network, took me to the best pizzeria in Chicago...

I had the chance to ask Dave about church planting and what he is learning right now as he leads one of the most influential churches in Chicago. This is a bare bones video shot outside the pizzeria in his car...had to try and avoid the ambient noise somehow! :)
