Welcome to the aggressive life.

On this day, about 500 some odd years ago, a seismic shift, well, I could say in the universe,

that might be a little overplay, but at least in the known world, a seismic shift rippled out from a little town in Germany,

and the world would never be the same. On October 31st, 1517,

a Catholic monk and scholar marched up the doors of All Saints Church in Wittenberg, Germany,

and nailed something to the door. Who was that man? Well, this man has had a lot of followers. One guy, one,

one American black pastor went over to Germany, learned out about this guy, and he changed his

name. He changed his name. He's so inspired. He changed his name to Martin Luther. And then he had a

child. He named his son Martin Luther King, Jr.

I've become a bit of a Martin Luther guy.

One of the most aggressive people who's ever walked the face of the earth.

And I want to talk about him today.

I want to talk about him with a guy who has taken my understanding of him to a new level.

The guy I'm going to have on today, his name is Stu Bamig. He's a longer-term friend of mine. I use the term friend loosely because

I just wasn't in his league for a long, long time. He was a little older than me. He was at the church

that helped train me into Stu Dewed ministry way, way, way back in the late 80s.

He is a pioneer in church planting and church growth and a certain kind of church.

And I've always looked up to him and didn't have much of a personal relationship, but I've gotten

more personal with him here over the last year.

Stu Bamig is known by me as Stuby, because anybody who who I like and I know, you get a little nickname.

So Stuby, his name is Stuby.

I was at a funeral for the guy who led me to Christ.
