Getting Our Focus Correct

At the close of his book, The Divine Commodity , Skye Jethani quotes Phil Vischer of Veggie Tales fame:

I am growing increasingly convinced that if every one of these kids burning with passion to write a hit Christian song or make that hit Christian movie or start that hit Christian ministry to change the world would instead focus their passion on walking with God on a daily basis, the world would change... Because the world learns about God not by watching Christian movies, but by watching Christians.

The blog tour starts tomorrow. You might want to check it out here and on the other blogs I linked to who are participating. Skye sent me the answer to the question that I posed to him and I think he gave a great answer. Here was my question:

Imagine you are talking to a new church planter. What are some practical things that you might communicate to him that boil down what you have learned in the process of writing your book that could help him guard against building a consumer church?

Tune in tomorrow for the answer.
