Nehemiah 5 // justice

This could be an incredibly long post, so I’ll attempt to make it short. This morning I was given the privilege to speak at Cornerstone. (On a side note: In the past I’ve occasionally joked that I get the “not many people will be here today, so if Brian says something crazy it shouldn’t be [...]

change // how much

This morning, I was praying about how I will really allow Africa to change me. Will I? How much will I change? All I could think about was this little guy carrying water. All we were to him was another group of mzungu’s and this one guy had some crazy machine that was poking out [...]

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? What do you say when your thought processes and doctrines begin to change and its antithetical to how you’ve always understood the world? [...]

All Staff // well, most staff

Yesterday we had an all staff meeting that happens every month that usually involves most staff. Its a great time for us to catch back up with each other and just talk. We don’t have to be crazy focused on business or anything in particular, we get to come and be together which is difficult [...]

The Divine Conspiracy // how to transform your mind in a week

Read this book, that’s how to transform your mind in a week. No book, save the Bible, has done more to shape me than Divine Conspiracy. Over the course of 400 pages, Dallas Willard takes our presuppositions of what the “Christian walk” should look like and turns them on their head. He basically presents the [...]

Creativity // some more thoughts

A few weeks back I wrote a post on an article that I was reading called How to Be Creative. And I’ve been in that mode recently where I have been doing a lot of creative thinking, tossing around ideas and planning for future series and services for Cornerstone, so it seemed like an appropriate [...]

The Book Tour // one extremely painful area of growth

Last night I finished up week four of the One Book A Week For A Year Tour. Once again this is a completely made up title that is more a descriptor of the task at hand rather than a real title. I must start with a confession, however. It feels like I may have already [...]

It’s only Wednesday // How to drain yourself in three days

My voice is pretty much shot for the night,  I’m about to fall asleep while typing, and I really don’t want to move from this room over to the bedroom, but oh how I would like to rest. (That’s a lovely pic, huh?) This is the result of many meetings, creative planning, late nights and [...]

change the world // in an un-Clapton like way

I don’t have anything against Clapton, quite the opposite. I agree that he is a musician with far superior talents than most artists that the music world is producing these days. But, that’s not the intention of this post at all, just can’t seem to get that song out of my head since I typed [...]

Tim Stevens

I saw this video on Tim Steven‘s blog and thought it was pretty awesome. People are so afraid of change sometimes, but I find that I generally love change. It keeps me on my feet, challenging me and making me grow. Go visit Tim’s blog, Leadingsmart. I promise that he will help you step outside [...]
