A few years ago I looked around my house and realized how much of my belongings, including much of our furniture, came as a gift from others. Wow, I thought, I am literally surrounded by the generosity of others. I am richly blessed by the work of others.

So in that spirit, I offer up some people and resources that have been gifts to me:

Rich Melheim is doing some amazing stuff over at Faith Inkubators. His “Faith 5” practices are an effort to move faith formation back into the home, where it is done best.

Mike Weaver is exploring the intersection of church and improvisation. You can find his stuff at The Group Mind.

And finally, here are some books I’ve been reading or want to read soon:

Steven Pressfield’s Turning Pro

Andy Stanley’s Making Vision Stick
