Sheep move en masse. It's easier... We like easy... The way of Jesus is not en masse. Not easy. Many times lonely. Sometimes we (feel like) are left alone with our insecurities and they whip us into sheep shape.
Ending sheepwalking seems like such a large task. But what if we decided to just try one thing different today? Please God, reveal to me THIS day where I can not sheepwalk. A large musical movement is still constructed of individual notes. Maybe if push back against sheeplike moments one at a time, we will find ourselves building momentum in the right direction.

Many in our local communities may not fully understand Jesus, but they understand helping the poor and consequently we had a major turn out plus four news channels were out to cover it. (Even though we know it's not about numbers/press coverage/etc I think if we serve our communities more we will draw those casual fans) But in all honesty it has to be the message of Christ that turns these casual fans into true fanatics.
I think one thing we at Grace do well to keep "fans" is we challenge people to volunteer in some form or fashion with us and our story starts to become "their" story. When people can start saying "we did this" it makes them get even more excited and they bring more casual fans, and the cycle continues. We have many ways to volunteer at our fellowship, that is really our "discipleship" program and it seems to be working really well.
