Disruption

Kelly Kannwischer August 30, 2019
Disruption is everywhere and is increasing all the time. Entire industries are being disrupted, and this causes mixed reactions. Netflix disrupted the home video industry, which felt good to the customer who found it convenient and fun, but it didn’t feel great for Blockbuster Video.

It's Not About The Ark

If Noah visited our churches today, I wonder how he would feel. I trust that he would be delighted that sweetly painted images of animals comfort children in the nursery. He would also wonder at the artistic renderings of his story from wood carvings to teapots with heads of giraffes and elephants coming out the […]

Get Uncomfortable

Kelly Kannwischer March 27, 2019
I love my Peloton bike. My husband bought me one for Mother’s Day because he loves how happy and energized I am after a great spin workout. When I get off the bike, I feel what runners describe as a “high.” It is an inexplicable experience of anxiety slipping away, time standing still, a sense […]

Kelly Kannwischer March 6, 2019
The Exponential 2019 conference rebooted the age-old conversation in the church about personal call. Unlike Elvis, we at Younique don’t want “a little less conversation,” but we do want to see a lot more action. Since the beginning of the Jesus movement, disciples have been exploring what it means to be faithful in their families, […]
