7 of 7 in the series Crumple Zones

Today I finished the series Crumple Zones hosted on my personal blog: Church Doc Talk. In the series we took a detailed look at a common tension point in many American churches.

Crumple Zones: The Coexistence of What and Why: This post looked at the peaceful coexistence of differing ideals. It also uncovered the hidden danger of the perception of unity within the body.

Crumple Zones: What and Why Collide: If left untreated, this is the eventual outcome of the coexistence of what and why.

Crumple Zones: State of Collision: This is the state most churches in America find themselves. It is a result of leadership reacting to the pressure to keep “the what” at the expense of accomplishing “the why”. It is also a direct result of the collision of what and why; with the original collision taking place generations earlier.

Crumple Zones: Exit Ramp: Not every church stays in a state of collision. In some cases the leadership does not buckle to the pressure of “what” and people leave the church as a result.

Crumple Zones: Collision Avoidance: This post was all about exposing the reality of Worldview. Understanding worldview and treating worldview conflict within a local church is the only way to avoid the collision.

Hopefully you have find this series helpful. I welcome any of your comments.

Also, if there is a church related topic you would like to see covered at Church Doc Talk, I welcome that information, too.
