This is Walk the Way. I’m Jeff Klein. It’s been a while now, but I am still basking in the glow of the Cubs’ first World Series Championship in my lifetime. And I’m reflecting on how they got there. Specifically, the unorthodox leadership style of manager, Joe Maddon. Baseball is a game full of tradition, full of people who do it the “way it’s always been done.” But Maddon refused and, instead, used different metrics, focused on the process, and tried ideas that seemed counterintuitive to most baseball insiders. But hey, baby, what do you think now?! Yes. Maddon uses...Read more …

This is Walk the Way, I’m Jeff Klein. And I’m Pam Klein. When 2 single moms from our church needed affordable housing but literally nothing was available after months of searching, God provided a miracle: Landlord John permitted both gals to sign leases in two of his units at rents they could afford. WOW! In exchange, all he requested was that our church would collectively assume the responsibility for regular maintenance issues like lawn mowing, leaf raking and snow shoveling. He lives out of town and this stuff is hard to manage long distance. We, of course, obliged. When we...Read more …

This is Walk the Way, I’m Jeff Klein. And I’m Pam Klein. Martin Luther, the great leader of the Protestant Reformation, once said this: While I drink my little glass of Wittenberg beer, the gospel runs its course. And Presbyterian Pastor Charles Henderson’s insights regarding Luther’s statement are pretty great reminders: On occasion Luther could take respite from all the activity of reforming the great medieval church, knowing that God is the ultimate arbiter of our destiny. No—we are not slaves to the news of this hour; we are rather servants of God who created this world and everything in...Read more …

This is Walk the Way, I’m Jeff Klein. And I’m Pam Klein. Just recently our friend, Hugh Halter, gave us a new copy of his very short little book, Happy Hour–Etiquette and Advice on Holy Merriment. A very short read, I ordered a bunch more just to give away. It’s practical, looking at how we can use our homes as a welcoming mission field. Hugh has an interesting premise: people will not move spiritually until they are connected socially. In other words, those people who believe differently than we do will not be receptive to the message of the Gospel...Read more …

This is Walk the Way with Jeff Klein. And I’m Pam Klein. At about 8:30 every morning, over the top of my computer and out my front window, I see people from all walks of life heading to their English class at the church a few blocks down. They are refugees– from Eretria and Congo and Burundi. Nepal, Burma and India. Iraq and Iran. Croatia. Thailand. Just to name a few. Walking down the sidewalk in front of my house. Refugees are, by definition, people who’ve been forcibly displaced from their homeland. The literal and figurative road they travel—by foot,...Read more …

This is Walk the Way with Jeff Klein. It’s been said that curiosity is what keeps a conversation going. Listen to what the brilliant scientist Albert Einstein once said: “The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day. Never lose a holy curiosity.” That’s an interesting way to put it! When applying the idea of holy...Read more …

This is Walk the Way, brought to you by Q Place, I’m Jeff Klein. And I’m Pam Klein. Someone who I consider a really good listener recently told me that asking questions and listening weren’t always intuitive for her. But a college class in journalism unlocked a whole new world where she learned that people actually want to talk, even when they think they don’t. Every person has a story worth listening to, but getting the teller to share it, just requires: asking open-ended questions. asking follow-up questions. and requesting more explanations. Good interviews require that the question-asker gives the...Read more …

This is Walk the Way. Brought to you by Q Place. I’m Jeff Klein. And I’m Pam Klein. RA Torrey, a turn-of-the-century pastor and evangelist wrote the following: “The most important human factor in effective evangelism is PRAYER, Every great awakening in the history of the Church from the time of the Apostles until today has been the result of prayer. There have been great awakenings without much preaching, and there have been great awakenings with absolutely no organization, but there has never been a true awakening without much prayer.” Torrey goes on to point out the Awakenings in history...Read more …

This is Walk the Way. Brought to you by Q Place. I’m Jeff Klein. Have you ever wondered why you live where you live? Did you ever wonder if there was a bigger reason that you live where you do, next to the people do? Did you ever think that God might have a larger purpose for putting you there? I have a friend in the inner city of Chicago who says “God–He don’t make no mistakes.” Acts 17 pretty much tells us the same thing when it comes to where each one of us live. What does knowing and believing...Read more …

This is Walk the Way. Brought to you by Q Place. I’m Jeff Klein. How do you know if your church is “getting the job done?” Determining this is usually equivalent to how many people are sitting in the seats on Sunday morning. Let’s face it, the more people sitting in worship on a Sunday morning, the more successful we feel. But is this a good metric? I’m a Sunday-sitter. But during the rest of the week am I engaged with my neighbors? My co-workers? Am I on the mission of God bringing the Kingdom to where I live, work,...Read more …
