by Joe Thorn on April 20, 2007

Right on! Ed Stetzer is now the Director of Lifeway Research, a collaborative research effort between Lifeway, NAMB and IMB.

“Ed’s experience as an evangelist, church planter, theologian, and researcher make him one of the most highly sought-after thinkers and speakers in evangelical Christianity today,” said Rainer. “He brings to LifeWay Research a proven track record for knowing the heartbeat of the church and for understanding what churches must do today to remain biblically sound and culturally relevant.”

    Joe,

    Is your church still affliated with the Southern Baptist Convention?

    Oh yeah, we are still SBC – but major changes are happening at Grace. I’ll be blogging about that in a couple more weeks, and sharing the changes, the process, etc. There will still be a good connection to the SBC, the changes I am talking about are bigger than that.

    Joe, this is great news for SBC and the Kingdom. our church has asked Ed come to lead us this Fall to help our leadership think, live, be missionaries. I’m also excited to hear about the movements at Grace.
