]]> Comment on Top Ramen Discrimination by Jennifer http://www.compassionbydesign.org/wordpress/top-ramen-discrimination/#comment-558 Jennifer Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:46:49 +0000 http://www.compassionbydesign.org/wordpress/top-ramen-discrimination/#comment-558 One interesting social group is GenX. It isn't one that fits into anything specific - they have their own culture. They - like your top ramen experience - certainly don't fit the social stature. And more than any generation before them, or after them, they are the most anti-religious (and yes, that also means anti-church). Because it is such a unique group it is almost impossible to understand them by surveying them. It is equally as important to make sure you know they dont fit into any mold. If you are open to listening to their perspective, they might be more apt to opening up. And that is the basis of trust. One interesting social group is GenX.

I think it's a powerful way for many "ingrown" churches to start looking outward and meet new people on a non threatening basis! We need more evangelical entrepreneurship of this nature!

]]> Comment on Assessing Needs and Building Missional DNA by jason http://www.compassionbydesign.org/wordpress/assessing-needs-and-building-missional-dna/#comment-481 jason Thu, 27 Mar 2008 00:36:02 +0000 http://www.compassionbydesign.org/wordpress/assessing-needs-and-building-missional-dna/#comment-481 This is so true. Trying to change the DNA of a church or any organization is difficult. I look at the church I pastor and realize the pastor has done most ministry in this church since its inception. Trying to mobilize people is difficult. It's easier to pull in new people before they are 'infected' by the DNA. It is possible, I believe it's called a slow drip infusion (not to be confused with a transfusion) of new people. This is so true.
