Hopefully you’ll enjoy some old reading while I prepare some new material for 2010!

Ethereal Thought Train Summer Review

Posted by Todd Engstrom in links, review on August 28, 2009

As summer winds down, I figured I’d do some highlighting of the blog over the past few months. In no particular order, here are some of my favorites and yours:

The 5 Big Issues in Campus Ministry | Innovation – This post contains most of my responses to Steve Lutz’s post on the 5 Big Issues in Campus Ministry.
Discipleship and Ministry – This post was my thoughts on maintaining faithful discipleship while you feel pressure for ministry.
College Ministers and Adoption – This post is my dream that College Ministers/Pastors would create a culture of adoption in the coming generation.
Book Review | Total Church, Book Review | Adopted for Life, Book Review | Vintage Church – Book Reviews from my summer reading.

Let me know in the comments if there was another post that you liked!

Ethereal Thought Train Review

Posted by Todd Engstrom in review on March 13, 2009

Here’s a review of some of my favorite and your favorite posts from the last month:

The highest hit rate came from Coffee Kills. This post had absolutely no content or thought, which tells me that by and large most people could care less about what I have to say…maybe I need to rethink this blog.
God struck me with gospel driven forgiveness in Forgiveness in Marriage as I was preparing for Nearly/Newly Wed, and it struck a chord with some readers as well.
Attractional and Missional generated some great discussion about missiology and ecclesiology in mega and micro church contexts.
God used Scriptural Election: The Third Way to shape some language for me about the doctrine of election.
We have some pretty awesome students at The Austin Stone Community Church (Clay got published in Relevant, Jackie got recognized by the Clinton Global Initiative and is highlighted by MTVu, almost 1000 students came to The Austin Stone on Campus, and Andrea headed to North Africa)
