Ur 2.0: Get Farther Out of Ur

Introducing the expanded Ur Newsletter with more exclusive content.

Leadership Journal November 13, 2008

You can get out of Ur, or you can get really out of Ur. For those desiring the latter, the Ur Newsletter is the resource for you. For a few years I’ve been sending out a free email newsletter on Fridays with highlights from this blog and other articles from around the Leadership media group. I’m happy to tell you that the Ur Newsletter has been completely redesigned with much more exclusive content you won’t be able to read on the blog (or anywhere else). Here’s what you can expect:

Url’s World…a brief commentary from yours truly (quips and tangents included) and links to interesting content from my digital cosmos.

Currents…the latest news from the intersection of ministry and culture. Sometimes serious, sometimes humorous, always fresh.

Editorial…reflections on current issues and events from the editorial team at Leadership including Marshall Shelley, Skye Jethani, and Brandon O’Brien.

Featured Post…a full length article exclusively for Ur Newsletter subscribers. (Don’t worry, you’ll still be able to comment and discuss these posts.)

Poll…a weekly poll inviting Urbanites to offer their feedback about a current event, theological issue, or ministry conundrum.

You can subscribe for the free Ur Newsletter here. Giddy up.
