doing life together // and figuring out what that means

Been tossing this phrase out quite a bit lately and it’s usually been in the context of discipleship. Wondering what you think of when you hear “just doing life together?” Go…

90-10 Rule // what to do with it

Yesterday I had a chance to chat with biscuet. Its not often that we get to have a long conversation about what’s going on in our life, as it seems most of the time we have to talk about work related issues (which is humorous since he’s in on another continent). Somehow we transitioned our [...]

Three Things // though it would be funnier if I said, “I’m two things”

Sorry for the title, but as I’ve said, I can’t tell a story without telling a story. Have you seen those commericals where the guy is half man and half horse and he says, “I’m two things, a man…and a great shopper.” I love those commercials. Normally there would be a link here, but I [...]

Local Church // transformation // one on one

Wrote a little bit yesterday about how I am changing and seeing transformation in my own life. Its always an encouragment and blessing to be able to see your own progress because as I said yesterday, there are those times where you are in the desert and you can’t track what’s going on, you just [...]

Hungry // ready to feast

Physically I am starving right now. But that’s not the point. For the past several months I have experienced some of the most transformational moments of my journey with Christ. Most of this can be attributed to the amount of reading that I’ve been able to accomplish. It has been beautiful to watch how one [...]

Diving in // convincing yourself to do something

I have this difficult problem of just diving in and immersing myself in the word or in a focused life of discipleship sometimes. Somewhere inside is this dead life trying to creep back in to me saying, “you don’t really want to study, that takes up too much of your precious time…when you could be [...]

Revolutionaries // flesh it out

All skate! This phrase has been on my a sticky-note on my desktop for a while: “Push a person to the limits of suffering and they may just become a revolutionary!” No commentary on that for now, just need some help fleshing it out. Start a conversation with me. What’s that mean to you? Who [...]

Discipleship // covenant relationships // part the last // for today

It will be part the last for today because this thought isn’t going away (this is one of those indirect blog posts from ‘Divine Conspiracy’) due to the fact that discipleship is so hugely important, but I didn’t want to cram a whole bunch of stuff into one post. What I was really wondering this [...]

Discipleship // covenant relationships

Today is Wednesday, though hopefully you already knew that, unless you are reading this on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or any of those other ones that end in ‘day.’ For me that means discipleship day. A good portion of my day in cut out and devoted to meeting with two very specific people. And I believe [...]

Divine Conspiracy // part the last // for the blog anyway

I don’t think I’ll be posting much on this book, which is interesting because of how much it’s reshaping my thought processes. But, this is just one of those that I live in so you’ll probably be seeing more posts, but you probably won’t know they are directly linked from the book. As I was [...]
