You are invited to CHURCHTHINK

Worship Circle Family — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 18:47:13 +0000

Did you know that Ben works every week on writings to encourage and equip the Family of God? The website is called CHURCHTHINK, and we want you to take a look. Every Wednesday Ben (and Robin) hole up in their studies and work the experience and insights of their lives into articles and essays as a discipline to become better communicators. CHURCHTHINK is the place that Ben focuses on the foundations of the Church and the message of the Kingdom of God. If you are a leader or a servant of any kind this site could be wonderfully encouraging!

Not only are there huge, deep articles at CHURCHTHINK, but there is also a regular podcast where Ben sits down and discusses each article at length with a friend. You can subscribe at iTunes. You can subscribe to the blog. You can even have the post delivered via email.

Super crazy book sale

Worship Circle Family — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 12:00:56 +0000

We are feeling completely stupid. We have already marked the Enter The Worship Circle books to sell, but we have put on our crazy hats and marked them down to $2 a piece if you buy a 10-Pack. Seriously, buy some for friends, a small group, or for door prizes. Why? Well, the book gets awesome reviews from both the non-traditionalists (which we think you probably are), and it can really help spiritual seekers get a new angle on discovering Jesus!

We still look forward to repackaging the work for future release, but we have to move all the old stock. Check out the product and the great reviews here in our online store! Just enter crazyhats in the checkout coupon box and get this special deal for the next 14 days!

Build Us A House: Live Fourth Circle

Worship Circle Family — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 22:08:14 +0000

A cool video of the recording of the Fourth Circle songs “Your House” tracked live in front of a stereo microphone. Couldn’t be simpler!

All The Way Home (First Take!)

Worship Circle Family — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 15:13:29 +0000

Here is a podcast of an unpublished recording take of the song “All The Way Home” from the Fourth Circle. It is just crazy fun to hear the song coming together for the very first time. We think this kind of stuff is very fitting for a crew (us) who obsess over the spontaneous and actual because the human element in art is where the real beauty lies… Some extra kudos for Tim and Laurie Thornton of the Blackthorn Project. Read Tim’s blog now.

Forgiveness: The Way of the Kingdom, Part 3

churchthink — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 14:39:52 +0000

A conversation between Ben Pasley and Todd Berger on the power and necessity of forgiving others, releasing offense, and being about the work of reconciliation. Part 3 of 3.

New Blue Renaissance Site

Worship Circle Family — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:04:14 +0000

Some of you may have noticed that our sister site bluerenaissance.com has been asleep for quite some time…well, she’s awake! We had to let that site go for a bit as we worked in other areas to make the world beautiful. Here is why we want you to check it out:

First, you can make a tax deductible donation to Ben and Robin’s work. We have fired up the one time or monthly giving tools for almost any payment method.

Second, we will post a broad stroke update on our life and work there only quarterly, but it is a nice place to see a bit more about us, and to recommend friends who want to learn more or partner with us.

We would be so honored if you would consider becoming a giving partner, or a prayer partner! We spend a lot of time helping people, equipping people for ministry, and even going overseas and donations, especially regular ones (even if small) can really help and encourage us.
