It’s been a long time coming but my good friend, Jonathan McIntosh, former teaching and campus pastor at The Journey (my home church here in the Lou) and now vagabond holed up somewhere in a Mississippi backyard eating some yellow watermelon (which apparently is sweeter and you would know if you followed Jonathan on Twitter), has launched a blog.

Actually, Jonathan is headed to seminary in the very near future and in the meantime, he is going to be rocking it on a new blog called Rethink Mission.

JMac says this about his blog:

Rethink Mission is about inspiring gospel-centered missional churches. We are committed to doing that in three ways:

1. Blogging on the intersection of the gospel, the church, and culture.
2. Interviewing church leaders to provide a resource library on how other leaders do ministry in an ever changing culture.
3. Providing coaching and teaching for pastors and church planters.

Jonathan is one of the most humble, caring, genuinely authentic, culturally savvy, Christ-loving people I know. If the launch and subsequent posts of the blog are any indicator of what is to come, you should add Rethink Mission to your RSS reader ASAP.

Check out the three-part “missional Q & A” with lead pastor of The Journey, Darrin Patrick, on preaching missionally to get a taste:

Missional Preaching – Part 1
Missional Preaching – Part 2: Contextualization
Missional Preaching – Part 3: People

Also, here is Jonathan talking about Wilco and the Bible. If you knew JMac, this is perfectly normal:
