Another reason I am pumped up about the churchplanters.com conference is to hear Dave Ferguson talk.  Dave has one of my favorite blogs and is a champion in multi-site church.

He recently came out with his first book called The Big Idea.  I read it in a couple of days and thought it was great.  The big idea of the book is that we are overloaded with information and they have designed their church around one big idea a week.  Everyone learns the idea from children to the main service.

I love this idea and we actually do this on a limited scale.

ALL of our Home Teams discuss the sermon topic and that is great.  We hope to move to where we are doing in our children’s area as well in the future.  This will unite families around a topic of the week and enable them to discuss together what God is teaching them.

I thought the book was very well  and very detailed.  He left no stone unturned.  I especailly loved the focus on multi-site church and believer when we launch our campuses in Jasper and Elijay this will be a huge benefit to us.

I 100% recommend this book and if you bring to the conference or buy it at the conference you could probably get him to sign it.
