Thoughts and Such
This isn’t helpful
Millennial stereotypes... They are SUUUUUUUPER fun... If you couldn't tell, that was sarcasm... forgive me. Seriously though, I am over this. Parents are taking their kids to court to force them to get a job and move out. The news is all too happy to perpetuate the...
read moreWhat is Church?
Seems rhetorical, especially coming from a Pastor... right? What is church? For the record, I am not asking rhetorically. We live in a country and at a time where we seem to have difficulty agreeing on ANYTHING! So I ask because I am curious. What do we, those who...
read moreAllow Me to Ruin Your Mother’s Day
I know... it's a political cartoon. I'm sure you have all the feels about it. I hate politics, so I do my best to frame things through the lens of Scripture, but I am a fallible human. So here goes the whole ruining Mothers Day thing. Notice I posted this later in the...
read moreDo You Speak Christianese?
Seems like I don't. Below is a hilarious video done by BuzzFeed featuring John Crist. But Wait!!!! They Cuss And Refer To Sex! Proceed and your own risk. Seriously though, what were they expecting when they asked someone who had never been to a church what a love...
read moreFacts are facts… unless we don’t like them…
At least that's what the TV said. Facts are now whatever you want them to be, just as long as they support your worldview. I don't know if I have ever heard the term "alternative facts" until Kellyanne Conway said it about Trump’s inauguration audience size. What...
read morePick Your Favorite Jesus
Lego Jesus seems friendly huh? Remember how I said we like to make Jesus look more like us? As in, we seem more comfortable making Jesus look like, think like, and act like us rather than the other way around. We like to make Jesus align with our politics, our...
read moreTraveling… and such
I can now say I have traveled to a place, to do a thing, and my book was involved. It was quite an experience. I sat at a table, with the cover of my book blown up and printed on a canvas, inviting passers-by to come and chat... It was quite an experience. I would be...

read moreThe Day Sunday School Died
Have you heard about the good old days? The time when the church was in its heyday? Sometimes they call it the glory days and reminisce about the days when Sunday School classrooms were full of people of all ages. Or the Sunday mornings when church pews were full of...

read moreIts Been a Bit
Heres why: I was invited to be part of this amazing "grand experiment" my denomination is exploring. Basically, I spent a little less than a week with other millennial pastors. Most were also lead pastors who had eerily similar ministerial situations to mine. I say...
read morePromise That You Will Read This First
I have had requests to put Millennial Jesus (or Hipster Jesus as some of you call Him) on a shirt. I thought long and hard about it and spent more than a couple moments in prayer. Truthfully, I hate the idea of monetizing Jesus which made this a struggle. What I...
