A week ago I read an article about the Ichthus Christian music festival may be looking at having hosted it’s last concert. I had no idea of the financial strain and challenge they were facing. It’s too bad too. The festival has been hosted for the past 42 years in my home state of Kentucky and is the oldest running Christian music festival in the nation.

There’s a church here in Indianapolis, City Community Church, that’s decided to put their worship on hiatus. They’re asking the question “Why?”. I think we all know the answer to one of the why’s in that question, but perhaps the real question is why does our worship look like the way we worship? Erik Cooper, pastor at City Community Church recently shared this on his post “Why We’re Quitting Worship“: But right there. In that moment. For those people. At that time. I had no answer.
