He Began the Work // let Him finish it

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

community culture // church culture

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 happens when you change // explanations

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?

works based theology // “I don’t do those things”

Yesterday was one of those days where you get going talking about something like how we live in front of the world and then things start clicking in your mind and you’re whipping out thoughts that you make you think, “Maybe I’m starting to understand this thing a little better. As a result of that [...]

the ride // part the second

So I took an early leave today because most of the creative work I need to do can be done at home (and yes, I am working). And someone had to take the meet out of the freezer. And, because I needed to take it slow on the way home. So here are the observations [...]
