I see a major shift in how my students see church and it isn’t in musical styles or starting little anti-church gatherings meeting in homes. Those kind of “revolutions” might be the talk of aging and burned out boomers like George Barna but not my students. The revolution they seek has more to do with Bono than Barna. It is to make a serving church.
Interesting, and hopeful. Click on the above link to read the whole thang. You can find his blog HERE.

Drury calls Barna a "burned out boomer." As a top of the heap buster myself, I have always felt Barna's conclusions missed the mark, even though they are backed up with tons of research.
I did however read some of "Revolution" by Barna. Again, I wasn't sure exactly what to do with it.
I haven't read anything by Barna recently. Though, now that I think about it, I did start "Revolution", but just couldn't get into it.
Yeah, first time I've heard anyone say that about Barna. :) But I'm sure most research is going to be filtered "through" the mind and state of the researcher.
