Bullseye: Known Associates

Just as people are known by their fruits they are also known by their friends. This post is devoted to the other people and groups Paul Borden mentions in his book as experts, thinkers, and resources that he has either pulled from in forming his own positions or brought in to his own churches to provide training. Rather than analyzing each one we have decided to let you, our readers, come to your own conclusions. We are providing a few links to information about each of these people to get your research started.

Saddleback Church

Paul Borden qualifies this reference:

“Since we had encouraged many learners to learn from the models of ministry implemented at Saddle Back and Willow Creek, many thought we were leading congregations to accept a seeker-driven model. That simply was not the case, although we urged our congregations to be seeker-friendly and sensitive in the manner in which they conducted corporate ministry. In fact, we went the opposite way, suggesting that they not adopt a seeker-driven model since we believed that leading established congregations into such a model would be counter-productive to change and organizational health. I believed that this change was so drastic that it would inhibit the congregation’s ability to move from dysfunction to health” (p.84).

Note, however, that he is not disagreeing with the approach of Saddleback, just experiencing concern that it could be too radical and destructive for his congregations.
