I have been reading a lot lately about the way things are going in the church in America. There are many ideas out there about what will happen the the western church and the ideals it is built on. From what I understand, some like Phyllis Tickle are thinking it will be a convergence of [...]

I have had some great conversations through this series online and off. It is telling how much each of us cling to one side of this over the other. When I started thinking about this idea, I was swinging from a pendulum of the idol of theology. Most of my background has been in a [...]

I have been thinking about grace a lot lately. It really is such an incredible thing that I don’t think I really get. I know I understand the concept, but I don’t walk around feeling it in my life. I don’t often think of how it is can be such a life changing thing. It [...]

I just saved money by switching to Geico. Much like this ad series, evangelistic efforts across the globe have enticed people to start a relationship with God by telling them about some good news that they will want to know one day. I grew up hearing the Four Spiritual Laws, Evangelism Explosion, and many other [...]

There is an interesting discussion going on over at the YM 3.0 page on Facebook. Part of the book dealt with how we see sacraments playing into how we do community in youth ministry and how many ministries are returning to ancient practices to form community. Highlights so far: “True communion is the example we’ve had from [...]
