CCN Rebroadcast of Off-Road Disciplines In a special Church Communication Network rebroadcast on December 7, 2006, author and professor Dr. Earl Creps explores "paradigm crashes" -- disconnects between the American church and the culture it is commanded to reach. Creps discusses the concept in his book that the modern church needs

missional leaders who pursue not only "on-road" practices such as prayer and Bible reading, but also "off-road" disciplines that form a missional heart.

Dr. Earl Creps is Director of the Doctoral Ministry Program in Pentecostal Leadership at Assemblies of God Theological Seminary in Springfield, MO.
