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figure it out, we are making a joke about boomers being bloggers because all millennials have podcacts and blogs are outdated…

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...
Civil Disobedience
I am about to lead a Bible study on civil disobedience. I have never been to a Bible study on civil disobedience. Perhaps that's because back in the day Christians simply participated in civil disobedience as they would not compromise their faith. Martin Luther King,...
Two Year Review
If you are new to the blog, we like sharing stories with you about what it's like to be a millennial in the position of lead pastor. There's not a ton of us out there so in the spirit of solidarity, we want to celebrate those stories and share a perspective we believe...
It’s All About Meme
Millennials are accused of being selfish... often... I kind of feel like all humans have that bent, but I'm a millennial... I would say that. Whats curious about millennials and our interaction with technology is not only how it has shaped us, but how we have informed...
It really might be almost done…
Really... Almost... The image above perfectly illustrates how I have felt during the past five months... The bridge exists, but no one can use it. Parts are there, it's technically a bridge, but pieces seem to always be missing... Here is where my bridge is at......
Maybe don’t call an entire country a “Shi**ole” though…
I'm sorry but I can't remain silent. I pray that word "shi**ole" wasn't actually used to describe any country, but if I'm honest, it seems evident to me that it most certainly was... In light of these accounts, I must speak out. Perhaps it's because I personally have...
I’m Back
I went on vacation. It was much needed. Now I'm back. Yay... Maybe you didn't know, but I am quite the introvert. Vacation is much needed when you are introverted, especially when your jobs primary function is interacting with a lot of people. Let me take a step back...
Fake It ’til You Make It: Or, Why #PreachingIsHard.
This may or may not be obvious to you, especially if you've never done it, but preaching is hard, really hard. It's a communication style unlike any other. You're trying to inspire, while not moving into "corny motivational speaker" territory. You want to communicate...
Dialogue
When's the last time you had a heartfelt, open dialogue with someone who was your complete opposite? What does that even look like? Maybe it looks like being a "youngin" like me having a discussion with someone in there 80's about Facebook... Or maybe you are a woman...
Let Me Introduce Keegan
Keegan is a Lead Pastor in the same state as yours truly. He isn't a millennial, but in his own words, he doesn't really fit into any generation exclusively. Still, he is a bit older than me so I had to give him a hard time for posting on his behalf. Being a...
Ch. 12 – So Now What?
Here is the final teaser from my book, The Millennial Pastor, from a chapter called "So Now What?" I have no idea… maybe I’ll write a book? Hahaha… Looks like I did. Maybe we need to talk about this more. Maybe millennials need to stop complaining that the church is...
Remember when I said we are so close?
I remember that... It suddenly feel's so far away... Ok so here is the story on the latest publishing update in lieu of a chapter teaser. Don't worry, I'll post that tomorrow. Anyways, back to the "story of my life"... the acoustic version. Don't pretend like your not...
