Jeff Strong’s Advocacy

Following up on our recent post on Jeff Strong’s new marketing blitz

1. Surveys are not scientific
2. We have lots and lots of other churches that have hit a secularization trend and responded the way Strong advocates.  It didn’t work out for them.
3. Little known, but we have had secularizing moments before–trying to be more accommodating wouldn’t be the main way you would describe our successful response.
4. In fact, our society over all has had decades of generally adopting these therapeutic approaches to problems.  I struggle to think of a single success story.  Mostly the therapeutic approaches have made everything much worse.
5. Everyone is looking for a formula, for someone to tell them what to do, for the next new shiny object.
6. What we need is a demand for greatness.
