Got this question recently: "What are blogs of young megachurch pastors who preach with substantial content?" I'm not sure exactly what "substantial content" means, whether that refers to theological and doctrinal details, or a kind of transformational teaching like that of Bill Hybels.
The following blogs have been suggested:
- Mark Driscoll http://theresurgence.com/md_blog
- Matt Chandler http://hv.thevillagechurch.net/blog/hvpastor [updated]
- Mark Batterson http://www.evotional.com/
- Dave Ferguson http://daveferguson.org
- Mac Lake http://www.maclakeonline.com
- Troy Gramling http://www.troygramling.com/
- Perry Noble http://www.perrynoble.com/
- Craig Groeschel http://swerve.lifechurch.tv/
- Steven Furtick http://www.stevenfurtick.com
- Josh Harris http://joshharris.com
- Bob Roberts www.glocal.net
- Dino Rizzo http://www.dinorizzo.com/
What blog(s) would you add? And what makes content substantial?

DJ,
I have put 80 church leadership blogs at:
http://www.andyrowell.net/andy_rowell/2008/03/church-leadersh.html
but I only have three to add to your list of Senior Pastors of megachurches. I don't think "young" from the blogpost title is probably specific enough.

The blog info is incorrect. The blog listed is a republication of Matt Chandler's actual blog. Matt's blog is actually http://hv.thevillagechurch.net/blog/hvpastor
