  • Context

    Context matters. It really matters. And when interpreting the Bible, it matters even more. Why? Because the Bible matters… and getting our interpretation correct matters for those of us for whom the Bible is both formative and authoritative. An example: Many years ago, when I was a Young Life area director working with leaders at →

  • Twenty Years Later

    This weekend, the Wilton High School Class of 1993 will be gathering for its 20th Reunion.  I won’t be able to make it because of work obligations, but it is worth a brief time of reflection. In many respects 20 years has flown by — and yet for all of us, a lifetime has taken →

  • Matthew Vines

    This is a compelling and passionate talk by Matthew Vines about the Bible, Christianity and homosexuality. Totally worth the time to watch the entire talk. I would love to hear what you think… →

  • Getting Beyond Religion

For a couple weeks after finishing the book Greg would ask me what I was… →

  • The Bigotry Label

    I won’t call you a bigot simply because you think homosexuality is wrong for theological reasons. While I totally disagree with your interpretation and application of God’s Word on this topic, I certainly respect your right to disagree with me. Being a traditionalist Christian on this issue does not make you a hate-filled bigot. And frankly, →

  • When the Ministry is the Closet

    While I hope you will purchase and read the entire book (it is an important and compelling read), for those who just want to read the chapter about me, you can read it here online. After you do, let me know your thoughts here. →
