About

Hi! I’m Bill Tenny-Brittian and I’m glad you’re here. Since you clicked the About link, it’s probably because you don’t know me … yet … or you’re a link-clickin’ curiosity kinda person. When asked who I am, there are a lot of things I could say.

  • In terms of my job, I’m a senior church consultant and full partner with Easum, Bandy & Associates. I’m also the senior editor of Net Results magazine, the nation’s oldest and boldest Church Growth and Evangelism magazine. I’ve also written a number of books including Prayer for People Who Can’t Sit Still, High-Voltage Spirituality, House Church Manual, Under the Radar, The Apprentice Workbook, and the soon-to-be-released Hitchhiker’s Guide to Evangelism.
  • In terms of family, I’m married to the Rev. Dr. Kris Tenny-Brittian, the Area Minister of the NE Area of the Mid-America Region of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) – say that three times fast! We have five children and six grandchildren.
  • In terms of what’s really important, of who I really am, who I am is the possibility of being a source of spiritual transformation. That’s my purpose, my goal, my mission. In everything I do, I try to put that as my first and foremost priority. Indeed, if I’m not moving, touching, and inspiring people in their spiritual transformation, I have to check to see if what I’m doing is worth doing at all.

So, that’s who I am and what I do. As to what I’m up to, you’ll have to turn back and check out my blog to see!

Hey, Bill. I'm pastor at Faith in Omaha, good

Doug Pfeiffer | March 9, 2009

Hey, Bill. I’m pastor at Faith in Omaha, good friends with the Rose-Heims, and have been involved in the GPS events for the Disciples (one of these events Kris was a part of last weekend). I told your wife a story that I wanted to share with you as well: we’ve had massive changes at our church over the last 7.5 years. Last year, we had significant pushback and conflict. And, one of the charges leveled at the leaders and change agents was lack of communication. :) Of course, God showed up (again!) for us through a mention of your blog in Bill Rose-Heim’s NW Area e-newsletter. I read the blog entry (Oct. or Nov. 08) on communication and shared it with our elders who were enthusiastic about it and who then used it with those people who were complaining about “lack of communication.” So, in summary, thanks for blessing us with your thoughts and experience. Thanks for sharing Jesus’ light with us! Peace, Doug Pfeiffer
