  • A Reminder of Thanksgiving

    I have posted this video from Brennan Manning before, but it is a powerful reminder (at least to me) of what I am truly thankful for this Thanksgiving… the life and work of Jesus Christ — and his friendship and love. Take a few moments to watch… →

  • The Lord’s Prayer

  • Pastors

    Unless you have been or are a pastor, it is hard to fully understand the dynamics and pressure you are under on a regular basis. I am currently working 3 different part time jobs and going to school full time… two of the jobs are seriously physi… →

  • We few, we happy few, we band of brothers

    One of the most rousing battle speeches of all time must be the one Shakespeare puts in the lips of King Henry V before the Battle of Agincourt on the Feast of St. Crispian. The scene finds the English army outnumbered, broken and losing hope. And… →

  • Seasons Changing (and so is this blog)

    Not only are our natural seasons changing rapidly from Fall to Winter, but the spiritual season is changing as well. This coming Sunday marks the beginning of the Season of Advent, which marks the beginning of the church year. I will be posting mo… →

    This was from my daily devotional today… some days I skip it, other days I glance at it, and then once in a while it literally arrests me. Today was an arresting day! Here it is, from Richard Rohr: Give me your failure, God says, and I will make… →

  • Becoming Church for Tyler

    Yesterday I posted about my friend Tyler. You can read about him here. I know a lot of serious Jesus followers who authentically want to create a place within the church for a person like Tyler and for LGBT folks more generally. (I also know a lot… →

  • An Open Letter to those who Don’t Hate Me

    Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ, I want to make sure you know that the people I addressed in yesterday’s open letter (here) are really a minority. Most of you have been very gracious and compassionate with me. And I hear some things through the … →

  • No Church for Tyler

    Over the past few weeks I have had a chance to hang out with Tyler (not his real name). Tyler is a 20-something, gay, and has quite a life story. He is sharp, compassionate and an all around good guy. We were hanging out the other day and he notic… →
