We launched the Table at Granger last fall. Since then, I’ll regularly get emails and voicemails from other churches wondering why we made the choice, how we rolled it out and what’s happened since the launch.

All the good-natured digs circulate around this general theme: “Kem hates numbers and spreadsheets…she only likes pretty pictures.” Well, it’s about time I went on record to set the story straight.

You’ve heard about it for months, and it’s finally here. SoChurch is officially alive. I’m optimistic about the possibilities and timing of this product. If you know anything about me, you know I never use my blog to talk about something I don’t genuinely believe in. I genuinely believe in this. Last week I jumped [...]
