The 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...

Its 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...
Promise 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...
Billy Graham, Guns and a Post-Christendom Church

Follow up on the whole “Not being a Jerk” discussion
I've been thinking a lot about why people are jerks. I wrote a little something about it yesterday and you can read it here. In my pondering, and through discussions with people I respect I have come to some conclusions of where maybe some Jerk-itude (that's the one...
Don’t be a jerk
Don't be a jerk. Cool? Cool... For real though, being a jerk ruins stuff. So why do we act like jerks so often? We complain about jerks all the time, you would think it would teach us something. We see it cross-generationally, bad behavior that is learned and then...

So Many Doubts
So many... so... so many doubts... right now my head is full of them. Most stemming from what I shared yesterday (take a look at the pic below). Growing up I was taught doubting was sinful. It meant that you lacked faith. The cure for doubt was more faith. So in...
