Can't We just all get along?

Why can't churches get along? Meaning... why can't churches stop reinventing the wheel and instead partner up to determine best practices, joint efforts, etc...? Some churches are now partnering together to plant new churches, providing resources and people to establish new successful church plants. Every church does something, at least something, well. What if more churches would partner together to develop media, sermon ideas, connection best practices, training, and more?

I believe someone recently said it best. Most pastors let their ego get in the way. They want to conquer the world on their own, doing it bigger and better than ever before. Or, less entrepreneurial pastors just want to maintain the status que, rather than seeking new approaches, new tools, and new resources.

It is about time that churches put their egos aside and benefit from one another. Imagine if all churches partnered together to increase the Kingdom together, instead of individual organizations trying to solve all the same problems.
