Friends, would you consider e-mailing pcaconversations [at] gmail [dot] com to let us know what sort of topics you’d be interested in discussing together or hearing others address? We’re polling the people, in order to begin the work of getting some new and relevant content up over the summer. We’re interested in your interests. What do you think is of importance to the life of the PCA, or to you as a pastor or church planter, etc? Let us know and we’ll see what we can do.

Here’s a few:
1. Staying sane in the ministry
2. How to lead the (a, any!) liturgy
3. Small groups that actually work
4. Recommended reading for a sabbatical, or a week at the beach
5. Addressing the church in a culturally informed way without speaning half your life trying to understand or resist the culture
6. How long sermons should be - and why
7. What more creative avenues might we create for fearless theological exploration so that men could work on ideas and share them with peers without worrying about charges being brought against them for thinking out loud
8. Determining what percentage of a budget goes to mission and mercy and why
9. What’s the real job of a youth ministry coordinator/youth pastor
10. How can ministers serving currently in the RUf and destined for church planting strengthen their churchly leadership skills before they dive in the deep end?

1)Id love to hear other guys takes on Pastors working together ie assistant/associate with senior. Friends, Boss or Coworkers?
2)The PCA and tech might be an interesting topic.
3 )Creating and sustaining planting networks.
4) Maybe just some arguments for Order of Worship stuff. {give potential planters the pluses and minuses of different orders}
ps I think you should report Cassidy for 7.

Racism in the PCA would be an interesting topic.

I just realized I commented rather than emailing - my bad.

Right worship of the Triune God would come first for me…
