Forge America is an active nonprofit organization, and this is our historic channel. The person who originally managed the account left our organization more than 10 years ago, and we no longer know which Google Account owns the channel.

@TeamYouTube We can verify our organization, domain, current leadership, and connection to the Forge America brand. Can you point us to the correct process for identifying/recovering access to the Brand Account or Google Account associated with this channel?

This picture popped up today from 10 years ago. It was the resources for the @forgeamerica Kansas City 9-month training cohort that @lanceford and I facilitated. Hard to believe this was 10 years ago, but I would still recommend this reading list.

All Xians read some parts of the Bible metaphorically/culturally while other parts literally. Our time would be better spent helping each other better understand which is which instead of shaming others for seeing some parts as metaphor & others as literal which we all do.

If you work with church planters realize that in a rapidly increasing missionary context, we need to help them think less like a pastor starting a Sunday morning worship service & more like a missionary engaging a unique context. The church is a missionary entity! #churchplanting

Hospitality is the most underrated biblical invitation. To practise hospitality ‘love for the stranger’ is to wrestle with principalities and powers within our western culture. 🧵

Binary, all-or-nothing, either-or thinking has resulted in either rationalism, secularism, and atheism on the left and fundamentalism, tribal thinking, and mental rigidity on the right.

Learning to listen, really listen, might be the most countercultural character we can develop these days: ● Sit still ● Make eye contact ● Be curious ● Ask inquisitive questions ● Don't interrupt ● Show compassion

As leaders is vital for us to develop an inner life that can match the inner and outer demands we face as we join God in the renewal of all things. 1. How do you refresh yourself physically? 2. How do you recharge yourself emotionally? 3. How do you renew yourself spiritually?

The power of coaching is found in the coaches ability to know exactly what the potential of the coachee truly is and being able to help them to see it, believe it, and go do it. #coach #coaching #discipleship #nextstep

"Christian Twitter" needs an enormous infusion of humility. Seriously, how can a movement based on the person, words, and ways of Jesus be so incredibly arrogant, divisive, and hateful? It just doesn't add up.

Witnessed a glimpse of the Kingdom of God this morning when I came across a family of orioles frolicking and foraging in my front yard. Their playful antics reminded me of God's provision and desire for us to have fun with each other. #KingdomCome #LetsEat #LetsPlay
