Today at 2:54 MST it became twitter and facebook official (and shortly before that real life official) that I am moving back to Indiana to serve the middle school and college ministries of the Community Church of Columbus, with which I lived and worked until moving out to Montana in April.
Montana has been a very [...]
Skinny review: Worth the read, answers problems within pop atheism and combative Christianity.
In late February, Ed tweeted about having some books available for bloggers to review. I had him send me Becky Garrison’s “The New Atheist Crusaders and Thier Unholy Grail: The Misguided Quest to Destroy Your Faith.” The point was for me was to [...]
The words and actions of Jesus have once again intersected with my present reality and thoughts in such a way that I want to record publicly. This all kinda gelled together last night during our 20-somethings gathering’s discussion on the 6th chapter of John. In this chapter, Jesus walks on water out to the disciples [...]
Not talking about cocaine. Sorry.
I haven’t blogged in a bit. It’s hard to get back in the habit.
Update:
1) there is some cool discussion happening over at Adam’s blog with ex-christians and a few of us youth pastory types.

I have this passage from Luke’s account of the last supper on my mind recently. This night one night was so dramatic! Lots of surprises and important details in a few short pages. It would have been terribly long and difficult for Jesus and the disciples. The evening begins.
The meal has been served, the cup [...]
It is a pleasure to give to ministries that are unique and valuable work in the Kingdom of God. This time I want to point your attention to Emmaus Ministries. While there are several valuable ministries out there with a similar name, I hope you can celebrate the hope and redemption found living at this [...]
Our posture to the world needs to be one of hands raised in support, open, steady, and supported by the fear and love of God. All too often we start with open, supportive, weak-yet-empowered hands that influence out world and fellow humans towards love, justice, peace, and godliness–only to later close our fists to grasp [...]
It’s (past) time to give again. This time I wanted to point your attention to something that really intrigues me. A major challenge to individuals, families, and even nations in our time is the cost of healthcare and I have found some people that are doing more than complaining.
While I have already written [...]
I just read a very good article about the role of family in the Christian life and wanted to share. Specifically, the article calls for Christ-followers to (re)embrace the concept of being single for parts or all of life in order to dedicate themselves to the Kingdom.
The article also challenges the ideal of family. It [...]
