Hi, and welcome to robbymac.org. For almost seven years, this has been the blogging home for Rob McAlpine, otherwise known as robbymac (that's me to the right). While I am not blogging any longer, I've had numerous requests for some of the articles that I've written to remain available in some format, hence this latest iteration of my blog website.
 | As the Wordle at left suggests, I tend to think and write a lot about leadership, ecclesiology & missiology, and issues surrounding the charismatic and emerging/missional movements. |
My family and I live in Tijuana Mexico, where we serve full-time with YWAM Tijuana, overseeing the Discipleship Training School (DTS), worship & sound system, and on most weekends I can be found framing and shingling a roof as YWAM Tijuana continues to build homes for the poor in the colonias near our YWAM campus.
I'll be brief: I've arranged the most popular articles over the years by their themes:
Yes, it's true: I wrote a book. It was originally a sprawling section of this website, until Kingsway Communications (UK) came across it and decided to publish it. Post-Charismatic can be best summed up by Todd Hunter's words found on the back cover: "Post-charismatic is not post-Holy Spirit, it is a call for post-weirdness."
Detoxing from Church is about people who have found themselves feeling burnt out by the unhealthy expectations put on them in churches, and equally, disillusioned by the unrealistic expectations that they had of church. In my own journey, as I looked back on the whole process, I feel like God taught me some vital lessons about leadership, His Body, and myself.
The Younger/Elder series has also become quite popular with visitors to this website. These two trouble-makers can turn any pub or roadside diner into a venue for animated conversation. Leadership, the poor, justice, and what it means to be missional are some of their favourite conversations.
I've gathered some of my favourite posts and put them into the Assorted category. They're an eclectic sampling, but touch on issues of being mentored, worship, and dealing with the fallout that inevitably follows over-hyped revivalists.
Please feel free to drop me a line via the email link at top right! ĄDios te bendigo! (God bless you) for stopping by.
