Don’t You Want To Become a Rick Warren
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that most “Purpose Driven” churches are modeled off of this video?
Rick Warren has got it down pretty good.
If you haven’t read the Purpose Driven Church, you should. It’s a great marketing book. And no, not the Purpose Driven Life. Skip that book. That is the book given to the bilkee, not the bilker.
Back to PDChurch… There are so many useful chunks of info in there that I don’t know how I ever suckered people without it. It even goes so far as to give a list of types of people who easiest to trap in your web. Okay, well I guess that part is kind of common knowledge. The reason why it’s more impressive is the fact that he had the stones to put it in a list format and print it.
It tells you to make a lot of changes to the church (specific changes). It mentions the use of music with more bass. Bass is important to Jesus apparently. It tells you that some people will not like the new church but that’s okay because they are dead weight. Fill people’s life/time with activities so they don’t have time to themselves or with other nonmembers.
