Innovate
Series Synopsis
The goal of innovation is not to come up with new ideas. Instead, it is the wise implemtation of great ideas that produce positive change by extending the reach and influence of God’s Kingdom. This was the follow-up series to our Essential Elements series. In these teachings we look at the resources we have to accomplish God’s purposes for our lives.

Text: 2 Corinthians 5:16-6:22 Corinthians 5:16-6:2
English: American Standard Version (1901) - ASV
16 Wherefore we henceforth know no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know [him so] no more. 17 Wherefore if any man is in Christ, [he is] a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new. 18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech [you] on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God. 21 Him who knew no sin he made [to be] sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him. 6 1 And working together [with him] we entreat also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain 2 :

Pathway was a church plant located on the NE side of Indianapolis, Indiana. Started in 2004 and closed in 2009, this short and amazing journey was filled with joys, sorrows, victories, and trials. While we were deeply grieved that we had to close the organization of Pathway, we are eternally grateful to the many families that became life long friends who, to this day, walk the path with us to God’s best.
Many of the resources on this site were developed during the life of Pathway. Our hope is that these resources will further serve to extend God’s Kingdom into the minds and hearts of all that find them useful.
Approach to teachingWith 11 years of pastoral experience, I’ve had the opportunity to be on the bleeding edge of what God is doing and how He is expanding His Kingdom today. One of those opportunities has been to pastor 2 different churches. When teaching in these contexts I regularly ask, “How do I live this on Tuesday?” I believe every teaching should draw from the authority of Scripture, leverage the wealth of wisdom in church history, while speaking to the circumstances and rhythms of our day.
