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figure it out, we are making a joke about boomers being bloggers because all millennials have podcacts and blogs are outdated…

The Cover of “The Millennial Pastor”
This is the Cover of "The Millennial Pastor"... First and foremost - Artist Credit: Kassidy Heal Allow me to explain... Title: The Millennial Pastor - At this point I hope it's clear to you that I am a millennial who is also a lead pastor. Those two attributes are not...
What are you so afraid of?
This week I shared a lot on the subject of fear. Fear of skydiving, fear of confrontation , fear of "putting my big boy pants on" by becoming a lead pastor and fear of admitting to others that I wrote a book. Fear makes us do silly things. Ironically enough, public...
Chapter Two – They Seriously Gave Me a Church?
Monday of this week I talked about fear (read about it here). Fear is a powerful thing. It can be an immobilizer, or it can be a healthy response to a serious situation. In the second chapter of my book I share some of the fear that I began to experience when the...
What the Meme
Millennials and memes go together like Baby Boomers and AARP... Let that sink in... Maybe you think that is rude, and that's fair. Most individuals don't like blanket statements about their generation. Millennials like being chastised for not being mature probably as...
Millennial Mondays – Fear
I jumped out of a plane yesterday. It was terrifyingly amazing. I absolutely loved it. My wife wanted to get me the gift of skydiving for my 30th birthday present. I have a history of doing mildly dangerous things like this. I played full contact sports in high...
Telling Other Humans “I Wrote a Book”
So I've never done this whole publishing thing. I hope I've made that clear. I had a very romanticized view of what the whole process looked like. I was super wrong... Basically Amazon changed the game, and now I pay a company to publish my book. You can read my post...
Chapter One – You want me to do what?
Here's an excerpt from the first chapter: I am on the phone with a guy who said the words “Lead Pastor.” I sent my resume to a couple different places and I had some offers, all of which were as an Associate Pastor. This made sense to me, it was familiar, comfortable,...
Millennial Mondays – Ageism
You can't mention the word millennial without bringing up age. The two go hand in hand. One defines the other. I started writing my book when I was 29 about being given a church at the age of 28. Currently I am 30 and for as long as I can remember age has been a huge...
How To Publish a Book
This by no means is some exhaustive list of all the different ways you can publish a book. This is just an account of my preconceived ideas about the publishing process and what actually ended up happening. Spoiler alert: Amazon ruined everything! Before this all...
From The Book
As promised, I want to give you guys a look inside my book. Some of you have been asking for a peak, a few of you have honored me with being my editors, and frankly some of you aren't sure if you care yet. You just liked my Facebook page because you were being nice...
#Blessed
I think I'll dub this "Millennial Mondays" since it's Monday and I am a Millennial. #thankscaptainobvious Maybe you didn't know what a hashtag was. Maybe your town is the one in Footloose... but instead of dancing, they outlawed the internet... so because of this you...
I guess I’ll write a blog?
I just got off the phone with my marketing rep... because I have one I guess... That is super weird to type and even more weird to read back to myself. Still, this is happening. This is the journey I am on, the journey I invite you to take with me. She told me I...
