I'm a chronic workaholic, love to connect leaders with other leaders, and would consider myself somewhat of a 'maven'. Hopefully you'll find something here at MMI you'll like and will return often. If you want, you can find out more about me or follow my every step.

Post Your Comments:Continuing to pray that God is going to keep using Craig whether through books such as IT or however He sees best.
God has used Craig personally in my own life. And I remain thankful and a prayer supporter of Craig’s.
Praying for Spiritual Awakening and Revival like never seen before! The harvest is ripe…
Praying for His workers.....
I found this review interesting and incredibly funny on Christianity Today:
“You can name today the churches that have ‘It’, churches that had ‘It’ but lost ‘It’, and some that do not have ‘It’, the LifeChurch pastor said at a recent leadership summit.
“So what is ‘It’?
“The answer is ‘don’t know’,” Groeschel said as he addressed thousands of leaders at Willow Creek Community Church. “Honestly, I’m not totally sure.”
“‘It’ has a lot to do with the Holy Spirit, Groeschel believes, but that is not everything.”

Having attended the Summit and hearing Groeschel’s talk AND having read “It"… AND being in a church that has “it"… I have to say, CS, it makes perfect sense to me. Plus, why should “it”, if it truly does involve the Spirit, be totally definable and quantifiable.
All I know is, I’ve been in churches that had it, and churches that didn’t… and I’ll stay put here in this one that has it… no question…
Peter:

You’re probably totally right here, Peter, that it does make sense with that background. I’m only saying that, superficially, the premise behind the book and the interview on Christianity Today seems silly. And I’m willing to put a huge disclaimer on my own comments here, in saying that I have not read the book, or gone to any conferences pertaining to this subject, or even talked to Groeschel, but as a person simply taking a glance from a distance, it looks funny.
“Hey, there’s this cool thing out there that some people have, some people don’t have, everyone wants it, but no one knows quite how to get it or even when they have it. Not even me. It might be related to something, but that might not be all of it. But, what the hey, I’ll write a book about it and that way, everyone will know about it and want it even more!”
Do you see how it could be construed as humorous from someone just peeking inside in passing?

CS,
I realize you were talking to Peter just then but your comment made me laugh.
Peter:
For the record… I definitely agree with you about IT.
Just as a funny here… The other day I said to someone, “Hey! You’re walking in it!” They immediately stopped and checked their shoes. If we can’t laugh at ourselves - someone else will any way. Context matters.
CS - I get what you are saying. If you are interested, I listened to Craig’s talk on “IT” at Willow Creek on the lifechurch.tv podcast. At least it would give you an idea of the entire concept - not just the little tidbits you have read.
CS,
Again, if you’ve been in churches for any length of time that both had “it” and didn’t… WOW, it makes sense to me.
And you should check out the link Karen points to, as the talk was well worth listening to.
