Jeff Vanderstelt is pastor at Soma Church in Tacoma, WA and was willing to lead a breakout session at the Reformission Conference in 2004. In this audio portion which is broken into two parts Jeff will discuss building teams and the development of leaders. Jeff is a former leader at Willow Creek in Illinois and has drawn some insight into what it takes to build teams and leaders. Leadership is not about us but about glorifying God as the goal. The fundamental flaw is being afraid of leadership development that might replace oneself.

The following audio is from a breakout session with Dr. Gerry Breshears, professor at Western Seminary, at the Reformission Conference in Seattle, WA 2004. Dr. Breshears demonstrates that Romans 9 shows the persistence of God to bless his people (Israel) despite their hardness of heart. What we see is that no one is messed up too much where God can not redeem them and God can do what he wants. What is uncovered in Romans 9 is that everyone resists God's will and the Lord is the persistent one that extends mercy to his people. In this mp3 Dr.

In part 2 of this breakout session from the Reformission Conference 2004 in Seattle, WA Pastor Mike Gunn (Harambee Church) covers the topic of evangelism in a post-Christian world. Listen to this audio as he fleshes out how God works in many different ways and we need to realize that evangelism not an event but what we do or are as a church. Pastor Mike Gunn challenges people to figure out the "how" from Jesus mandate to preach the gospel to our world. Are we pushing ourselves outside of the standard methods of evangelism? Are we thinking of the people we are reaching or the plans on which we do evangelism? Where does our authority come from in this postmodern world? We need to repent of our moralistic methods of evangelism.

In 2004 Dr. Gerry Breshears, professor at Western Seminary, gave a presentation on the Emerging Church at that time during the Reformission Conference in Seattle, WA. In this audio piece we see Dr. Breshears critique the key players in the Emerging Church Movement up to 2004. The great thing about this mp3 that may be different then some other analysis is that Breshears looks through different writings to expose the theologies that tend to drive this movement. Although the audio is long it is because Brashears is taking questions along with his session. With that said we encourage the liste

In this mp3 from the 2004 Reformission Conference, Mark Driscoll discusses false gospels and why they exist. False gospels elevate man and the true gospel elevates and brings more value to God. False Gospels also give false hope. Paul encourages to be aware as false gospels tend to arise in the church. There are many false gospels seen in Genesis. The false gospel of pluralism. The false gospel called the gospel of feminism. The next false gospel that is in backlash to feminism is the gospel of chauvinism. The false gospel of affinity. After a failed attempt of affinity there is a false gospel of nationalism.

A proper understanding of the cross is of high importance if we are to properly understand our freedom given to us through Jesus. In this mp3 the emphasis on the cross must be the place where the Lord shines most brightly. If we get the wrong view of the cross then we get the wrong view of his glory and the wrong view of worship. John Piper highlights six points about the cross in this audio: We can't make the culture and its bent the measure of the cross. Do not make the cross the echo of your value but the display of God's grace. Don't remove the blood and violence of the cross. Don't remove the wrath of God from the cross.

In this mp3 from the 2004 Reformission Conference, John Piper exhorts believers to glorify God by being satisfied in God. We learn in this audio, that by uprooting the sin that leads to false worldly satisfaction, and turning to the truth of the Lord, we will find the only real satisfaction in this life. As we love God with all our being he will be most satisfied in us because we seek the ultimate satisfaction in him. Loving God includes his attributes, that in contrast, open theism tries to ignore. Whatever undermines the truth and glory of God will undermine our joy in this life. Undermining the truth will also undermine all areas of life and ministry.

In this audio from Chris Seay, we learn that the conversation does not start with what looks cool for the church but with the stand on convictions for the things we do know are true. There is a myth about narrative that it is just ambiguous, but in the church narratives are grounded in truth about God's redemptive story. We need to figure out how we can engage in culture with the modern tensions of our time, whether it is on the popular TV shows or current events. We need to gain Biblical wisdom which is seen as incarnational. Our knowledge must hit the road of reality so people may see authentic Christianity not just learn about it cerebrally.
