Christ's Body, Human Flesh If we're honest, no one really cares about theology unless it reveals a gut-level view of God's presence. According to pastor and ministry leader Hugh Halter, only the incarnational power of Jesus satisfies what we truly crave, and once we taste it, we're never the same. God understands how hard it is to be human, and the incarnation-God with us-enables us to be fully alive. With refreshing, raw candor, Flesh reveals the...

What is happening to the church in America today? By all appearances, it looks like we are "doing' church better than we ever have. Our programs are effective, our pastors are relevant, and our buildings are increasing in size. In the past 30 years the number of mega-churches has increased from under 100 to over 7,500. In the past 10 years the number of multi-site churches has increased from under 100 to over 2,000. By the numbers, these church movements...

It is safe to say most Christians do not live like Jesus did, have the same influence on people he had, or draw even the slightest curiosity from the on-looking world. Jesus's ability to woo people to him and win their hearts was directly related to how he challenged their assumptions about religion. He not only gave them a unique, personal way to follow him but also showed them how to participate with him in his mission. Sacrilege helps readers rethink...

Do we want our kids to just go to church, or do we want them to truly follow Jesus? As Christian parents, most of us long for our children to know the God who loves them and who is able to work powerfully in their...

ALL GOOD MISSIONARIES KNOW THE POWER OF SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT.
Wherever we're called to bring the good news, people won't move spiritually until they are connected socially. In other words, to help people hear the gospel, we need to open our front doors, set our tables, and practice hospitality and celebration.
Hugh Halter calls us to rediscover the ancient art of party and to follow in the patterns of Jesus-redefining holiness not as exclusion from...

How was Jesus the most holy person while at the same time the least judgmental? And why don't His followers live like He lived? Let's be honest, Christians are losing the culture war. The western Church is in stark decline and our kids no longer find the message of judgement tenable in the real world. Jesus came to influence and draw-not condemn and repel. In Brimstone, Hugh Halter helps us navigate the overuse of poor judgment and the underuse of...

It's time to break free from our Sunday-centric, formulaic versions of church and instead architect fresh kingdom ecosystems as an ancient yet new frontier for sustainable mission.
The temptation for many church leaders is to take what's worked elsewhere and use it as a paint-by-number. Yet Jesus showed us a different way. Every word he spoke and everything he did utterly broke the molds, rules, and laws that people had created to confine God...
