Church Planting - Encouragement in the Trenches

What is it about pastors and football analogies? Eric Taylor, a church planter in Auburn, AL has written a post comparing Tommy Tuberville to church planting.

Among his thoughts:

It’s amazing the difference a few weeks can make. Just a few weeks ago, Nick Saban was the second coming of Bear Bryant, now, listening to Sports talk shows… some folks are questioning his coaching ability. Of course when Auburn lost to South Florida and Mississippi State, people were ready to gas up the plane to go look for another coach. Now, after beating Florida, Tommy Tuberville is popular with the fans again. . . .

If you’re a church planter, you can approach what you’re doing in one of two ways: Like the fans do…or like good coaches do.

His advice is good whether you are a church planter, or just a member of a church plant. Check it out all of Eric’s thoughts here.

It’s just a shame that he is an Auburn fan.
