Idea Mail


Idea Mails are brief, provocative essays to encourage life-long learning and ministry innovation. Idea Mails look at life and ministry through the lens of the Scriptures, culture, and art. It's easy to get caught in a ministry cul-de-sac, going around in a circle, following familiar ministry paths. Sometimes we need a fresh look at  familiar life and ministry issues. In brief but challenging ways, an Idea Mail can plant some seeds of change to encourage new learning and ministry innovation. Check out an Idea Mail and follow the Holy Spirit along some new learning trails.
