Here’s A Question // and a primary tracker

Feels like everything lately has been all mixed up and changed around a bit and life has had no set routine. But the calendar shows a fairly steady and predictable pattern for the month though it will be one of the busiest and most packed months of the whole year. Through all of the craziness [...]

Personal Growth // next steps

I almost titled this post “A New Regimen” but that word ‘regimen’ kinda scares me. I’m not one for strict structure when it comes to personal discipleship because there are so many ways in which we grow, and for me, they are always changing. My own personal steps though are changing. For a while now, [...]

The desert // and the oasis

In a random conversation with a friend the other, we began discussing the differences between the desert and the oasis. Here’s my take. Someone’s gonna call me crazy, but I’m not completely convinced that you can always tell an immediate difference when you’re on the inside of them, and here’s what I mean. They can [...]

growing up // and a “dang it”

This was my conversation with God this morning (I know that sounds crazy to some of you, and some don’t think that God speaks, but this is the conversation that happened nonetheless). God: Hey b/: I know, I’ve got to focus more, I want to grow deeper. God: The reason you’re not growing is because [...]

some great podcasts // at least I think so

Here are some of the podcasts I’m subscribed to that are shaping what’s coming back out. Cornerstone Simi Valley Desiring God The Village Church Mars Hill Church

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Missional Renaissance // playing with my brain

Okay, the anniversary weekend is over and life will return to normal. Well, not really, these next two weeks are going to be pretty crazy, but at least I’ll be back to twittering and blogging (which I am intentionally trying to do more of during Lent). So I asked about “church” the other day and [...]

The Shut Your Mouth Campaign Part 2 // a little flavor of Monday

So this is part two in the Shut Your Mouth Campaign. This is not a national campaign and as of yet we have not had any marches or sit-ins, nor are any planned for the near future. We’ve made no signs and cast no great speeches either. In fact, we are one member strong…we is [...]
