		<description><![CDATA[One of the greatest challenges of being an African-American pastor planting a Reformed, missional church in Camden, NJ is the conflict with the traditional African-American churches already located in the city. This conflict takes place on both the institutional and individual levels. This conflict, as it is experienced by individuals, I like to call “being stranded.” These individuals are people who have come to know Jesus, for some time been members of a church, served in ministry, and even preached. &#8230; <a href="http://thriveinthecity.org/stranded/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our mission was to plant a church in Camden and to engage people for conversions (one of our core-values) and to enter Christo-centrism into the culture (another core-value) (Rom 15:17-21). In a city of 79,000 people, about 98% are unreached with the Gospel, and only about 1% attending church in Camden. We came in with the hope and the vision to reach unbelievers and ecclesiologically disconnected people with the Gospel of Christ. We sought to connect with unbelievers in multiple &#8230; <a href="http://thriveinthecity.org/pizza-pitbulls-and-power-the-of-god/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; If you have heard the term &#8220;generational curse&#8221; it is a concept that means that there is a certain sin pattern in a persons family and it is only a matter of time before the next generation commits the same sins as the past generation did. Divorces, infidelity, abuses, bad financial stewardship, drug-use, and single parent homes are a few of the situations that are credited with being generational curses. Pastor Blake Wilson teaches from Ezekiel 18:1-23 about  generational &#8230; <a href="http://thriveinthecity.org/is-my-family-suffering-under-a-generational-curse/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three days ago I was sitting on a plane waiting to take off. We were heading home, back to Atlanta, and I was ecstatic. I’d gotten the exit row, the one right by the entrance door, so there was lots of legroom for the 6’ 5’’ guy. I couldn’t wait to see my wife and my daughters. This flight couldn’t have started any better than this. Then, as I’m sitting there the pilot approaches the cabin door to begin greeting &#8230; <a href="http://thriveinthecity.org/leading-at-30000-feet/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

It&#8217;s important to know who you are and who you are not. The only thing worse than the people wanting you to be omni-gifted is the pastor who believes he is, this will quickly drain you of the joy of shepherding people.

		<description><![CDATA[In a world of Facebook status updates and 140-character one-liners, it&#8217;s easy for us to drift further and further into an electronic personality and identity void of authenticity. Our Facebook and Twitter profiles matter more to us than who we really are. The question is, do our Facebook and Twitter identities match what&#8217;s in our hearts? More and more people are rejecting the rewards of interacting with people face-to-face and venting every issue and belief via the World Wide Web.
