the declutteringYou’ve heard me say it before and without a doubt you will hear me say it again because I firmly believe: “No one wants to be a part of a one time event, but everyone wants to be a part of a movement.”
Today I was reading a book by Max De Pree called “Leading Without [...]
It’s been a little while since Kristen and I have been able to get away and just relax. So this week, we’re hitting the beach for some time to refocus and recalibrate before diving back in to the second half of the year with all of it’s new responsibilities and challenges. No internet this week, [...]
What do you do when you let someone down? I sit there for hours at a time and I think about everything that surrounded the event…over and over and over and over and over and over and over…
I usually accomplish nothing.
Any suggestions?
The blog posts have not been coming as regular as they once did and as a result there are ton of thoughts swirling in the brain-housing-group, but I wanted to drop a little thought out there that is neither profound or long, but is helping me be intentional about where I’m at and what I’m [...]
…I’m changing…its messy…what are you doing
Someone asked me this the other day. What are your thoughts?
what do you do when leading in your church culture means that you have to neglect leading the community culture
What do you do when your worldview begins changing and you have to communicate that to people who are close to you and their view is still where you used to be?

Randomly just wondering what you think about communion. How does your church experience communion together? What makes it special for you? Do you think you see it differently than most? Why?
All skate…communion.
This is a comment from a friend and fellow creative Chris. It was a comment, but was just so good it needed to go on the front page. It’s in response to “how to be creative:
starting from nothing… immersion in the idea or the process.
if it’s about playing with a concept, kick it around and [...]

I’m lasering my focus in on relationships both vertical and horizontal, meaning I want stuff that deals with my relationship upward and His relationship downward as well as my relationship outward, and everyone else’s relationship inward toward me.
What’s the best advice you’ve heard on relationships as it applies to either of the above?
What are [...]
There’s nothing so lovely and so ugly as that weird place of tension that we must all sit in at some point or another where you long to be in the “place you know God has put on your heart” while at the same time you are in the place God has put on your [...]
Josh Agerton commented on a post that I did yesterday about being in the world, but looking different. He basically said, “think about these two statements, they’re very different aren’t they.” So I’m wondering, what do you think of the following statements. Do they seem different to you? How do they affect you?
