I had saved an audio interview that Seth Godin had in his blog, and finally got around to listening to it. It’s a talk that he did, along with answering some questions, on how a non-profit organization can raise money in a society like we have today.

The longer I’ve thought about it, the more true it becomes to me: churches need to create interactive experiences for their members to act out their faith. These experiences will give the people who take part in them a story to tell. When people get to tell a story about themselves doing something that was positive, and happened because of their church then the church will become interesting. Interesting to people who don’t do church, but do enjoy **blank**

Seth Godin has given me the green light.

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. - 1 John 4:18 NIV
