Here's a controversial video by legendary church planter Mark Driscoll on the personal and professional qualities necessary to found a church. He emphasizes the importance of discipling men as critical to building a congregation.
Reactions from Michael Spencer, Gavin Richardson, and Theresa Coleman.

I thought the video was funny. Of course, I think most of it is crap. But he does talk in ways that I do with my friends; I just don't claim to be an expert on church planting and make videos. Since, I have never heard of this cat I don't get emotional about it.
i was waiting for the zombies to come out of the ground and eat him! &:~)
Could this be a Rob Bell, Nooma, want-a-be? I think Rob did it better, theologically and in the presentation. Great post!
From one of the best movies ever...
"Their coming to get you Mark"
I can't believe it "sounds about right." I'm not particularly a proponet of "gender inclusive language" ie. I use traditional forms for the names of God (Father Son and Holy Ghost) but if you cannot hear WHY this video would irritate a large portion of the population... well, I don't know what to say. By the eighth or ninth time he said "men" and "him" and so on, I would have left the room. And I'm not even a flaming radical feminist.
