Am I A Reductionist?

Posted on 26. May, 2010 by Chuck Scoggins.

I’m beginning to wonder if I’m a reductionist. I’ve become a full believer in the concept that less is more. Between reading Kem Meyer’s book, Less Clutter Less Noise, and Barry Schwartz’s book, The Paradox of Choice – I truly believe with all my heart that communication in general, and church communications in specific, should [...]

Even though the first idea might eventually end up being the [...]
