Thoughts and Such
Once upon a time, long before we thought about podcasting, we blogged about being millennial Pastors!
It stemmed from the book that this website shares a name with. So, here is our blogroll archive in all of its glory.
… and if you couldn’t figure it out, we are making a joke about boomers being bloggers because all millennials have podcacts and blogs are outdated…

Thoughts on Church and a Book Update
Hey guys... It has been a while since I gave a book update. Also, I wanted to share some results on the poll I created and let you know what is in store for the Millennial Pastors future. The Book Right now I don't know much and it is kind of weird. I don't know how...
Lose/Lose Situation
The biggest losers, children. In this lose/lose power-hungry game of politics, being played out on the international stage, there is one clear loser... Innocent Children It was Mahatma Gandhi who said, “A nation’s greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest...
I Guess God Ordains Separating a Mother from Her Child
Well, that's just according to Jeff Sessions: This, folks, is called proof-texting. Take one sentence, one verse, and extrapolating an ideology, worldview or entire theological framework... i.e. "permanently separating kids from their families is ok"... I know Jeff is...
I Just Wanted to Say Thanks Everyone
This is just the best guys. This whole "I did a thing" writing a book deal has had quite an impact on my life. It's also had some ups and downs. I am trying to be intentional through it all. So this post is about how thankful I am to all of you have read, shared,...
Being a Millennial on Memorial Day
It shouldn't be a thing worth mentioning, but it definitely is. I grew up with a healthy respect for the armed forces. In fact, I talked with a couple different recruiters while in high school and thought about joined one or two different branches myself. I didn't...
Silence in the face of evil is itself evil
These are Dietrich Bonhoeffer's words. The entire quote is “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” I have been haunted by this quote lately. I see a lot of "evil" in the world, but...
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...
What 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...
Allow 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...
Do 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...
Facts 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...
Pick 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...
