What have I gotten myself into? Do you guys realize that I have a wife, two kids and a full time job teaching theology at MBTS? Do you realize that I am bi-vocational pastor of an urban core church which I am trying to find an ACTS 29 person to re-plant? Do you realize I am much older than you all and my body hurts? And now, thanks to you guys, apparently I must work to see change in the SBC–AGAIN!

I cannot help it though. I really believe that you missional Baptists types bring something vital and right to the SBC.

I am working hard on both fronts–trying to learn about you and trying to educate SBC institutional people as I have opportunity. Who knows, maybe God will help us and once again the SBC will take a turn for the better. And I do believe that the conservative resurgence did involve a huge turn for the better. I was up to my neck in the SBC BEFORE the resurgence!! One thing is clear. Without the conservative resurgence, I would not be employable by an SBC institution.

Pray for me. I am trying to do my part on the inside.
