2 Pillars Church Website Redesign
After months of work, I present to you the new, redesigned 2PillarsChurch.com!
Our website has needed some serious TLC for some time now. With help from a local entrepreneur and the hard work of three developers in the 2 Pillars body, we were finally able to go live this week.
I’ll be posting in the future about some of the back-end details, including why we chose Squarespace, the platform on which our new site is built.
Until then, give it a look and let me know what you think.
A Simple Guide to Saying No
Telling people NO can be difficult and uncomfortable.Julie Zhuo’s lays out her simple strategy for doing it well:
- Be honest and direct. A no is a no, and that should be communicated in the first or second sentence and not something that needs to be read between the lines.
- Talk about what you are prioritizing instead. It doesn’t have to be detailed, but it should be true. Few things are ever no in a vacuum, so it tends to be about the tradeoffs, and people get that.
- If you’re even the slightest bit interested in the opportunity but can’t pursue it at the moment, mention that the no is for right now. In the future, who knows? Don’t prematurely rule out possibilities if you think things might change.

The emergent church represented theological innovation. The reformed resurgence is a rallying around something old. The emergent church comprised a theologically liberal impulse. The reformed resurgence comprises a conservative one—one rooted in the rallying cry of the reformation Sola Scriptura.
