Identifying

I have been reading Steve McCoy's blog over the past few months.  Steve is a guy who is Illinois and is a graduate of Southern Seminary in Kentucky.  He is a guy who is still hanging in there as an SBC guy and yet doesn't lock himself in by not networking with other groups and planting networks.  It is a breath of fresh air to see not only his heart but also the amount of guys that read, comment and are refreshed by some of his insights and thoughts.  It seems that this guy is a "pastor" to pastors.
Check out his blog and then read some of the comments.  I was encouraged, especially by the guy who is looking to re-enter church planting.
