he 1980s, we went to a church of about 3,000 people, which for Lincoln, Neb=
raska (population 190,000) was pretty impressive. Well, today that church i=

 the 1990s, we started going to Willow Creek church. I went there for 10 ye=
ars during its heyday. About 20,000 people attended every weekend. For a wh=
ile it was the largest church in the nation and its leader, Bill Hybels, wa=
s profoundly influential. </p>=20

dding: 0px; margin: 13px 0px; line-height: 1.6;">The place is still going, =
but it lost most of its global influence after Hybels was accused of sexual=
 misconduct a couple of years ago. Front page story on the <i class=3D"bard=

dding: 0px; margin: 13px 0px; line-height: 1.6;">Then, in the mid-2000s, I =
started going to a much smaller church. About twelve years ago, one leader =
sorta kicked the senior pastor out and took over. I remember one of the cha=
