New Life Restarting Churches

New Life Restarting Churches: A church in Chicago called New Life has been adopting and restarting several historic churches in the city. This video is an inspiring reminder that the church in every generation is called to be multi-generational and committed to transferring the gospel the next generation. (HT: Steve McCoy)

Thanks for the shout out, Josh. I'm part of the pastoral team at New Life and we've been amazed at the opportunities to revitalize older churches here in Chicago. Its been fun to see the video used in other cities by churches wanting to do the same thing. We never considered that the video would be used that way. We feel like this is one of the next waves of opportunity God is bringing to plant churches and reach people. (Wish I'd read your post before the GCNC a few weeks ago--I was in your session and would have said 'hello'.)

Pilgrim's Progress Musical: Pilgrim is a modern musical adaptation of John Bunyan's classic work, Pilgrim's Progress. It was performed in spring 2009 by the high school students at my church. They did a great job. The script is by theatre professionals (and members of our church) Janice Mays and Cathy Mays. The music is by various artists, including Bob Kauflin, Zach Jones and Mark Altrogge. You can order a DVD of the production here.
Give Me An Answer Highschool Conference: I'm looking forward to joining Al Mohler, Russell Moore, Shane & Shane and hip-hop artist Flame at the SBTS conference for highschool students next spring. Details.
Stephen Altrogge Reviews Dug Down Deep: Over at the Blazing Center blog they've posted a very generous review of the book. Read it.
