Why worship the way we do? Why empower everyone? Why is it important that our pastors wear jeans? We’ll explore these and other ingredients that make up Bloom, including the reasons behind what we do and where we see it in the Big Book.

The Naked Gospel
Sunday, June 6th, 2010
More than a quarter of church-going believers admit that their spiritual lives are stagnant or dissatisfying. The Naked Gospel says so many are stalled because of the shallow “fluff’ they’re getting. Farley says we’re peddling a gospel that is compromised and virtually powerless to change lives after the initial salvation experience. The Naked Gospel offers a fresh perspective on grace and shows how to live uprightly, confidently, and without the guilt.
Andrew Farley is our first guest speaker and is the author of “The Naked Gospel“. He serves as lead teaching pastor of Ecclesia (ChurchWithoutReligion.com) and co-hosts “Real Life in Christ,” a television program that challenges many long-held notions about Christian living.
Andrew is also a tenured professor at Texas Tech University where he teaches courses in linguistics and an Honors course titled “Early Church and Contemporary Christianity in Conflict.”
Andrew enjoys snowboarding, wake boarding, surfing, tennis, golf, and just about any other sideways sport. He resides in west Texas with his wife, Katharine, and their son, Gavin.

Why do we need others? Why do we need friends? Why can’t we live in solitude?
Doesn’t it seem, at times, like life would have less drama and be less difficult if we didn’t have to deal with people? Jesus didn’t live in solitude, and we don’t believe any of us were meant to live in solitude either. Friendships have purpose…they strengthen you, they make you happier…and make life more beautiful.
