I’m back after a week in Appalachian Kentucky. I have no less than a hundred emails to catch up on, about two weeks worth of things to do in the office, eight hours of video training to watch for our new online system, and nearly three weeks of classwork that desperately needs my attention. And, [...]

For the past few weeks, I’ve been working through a study on the Promised Land. It is a study produced by a guy named Ray Vander Laan. He’s a phenomenal teacher. He came and taught for a day when I was at Focus. I literally spent about eight hours with my mouth hanging wide open in astonishment. I [...]

Emerging Church, Part 3/Wrap-Up
Posted in Emerging Church on March 17, 2008 | 8 Comments »
The odds and ends that didn’t quite make it into the letter (but are not necessarily of less value):
First, my apologies for not clearing this up from the beginning, but I do want to comment (from strictly a personal opinion) about the ways I use “emerging” and “emergent” differently than the current trend. I know [...]

Here we go. Can of worms: Part 2.
Dear Twenty-Something Emergent-ish Believer –
Be careful. I have been where you are. I’ve read the same books you have read and I’ve heard the same motivating messages spoken by Emergents and those who associate with them. It’s hard not to get swept away in it. It was made to [...]
Emerging Church, Part 1.5

I got online about an hour ago, ready to tackle part 2 on the Emerging church topic. After starting about twenty-five different paragraphs, I just realized that I just don’t have the mental energy tonight. Tomorrow.
But before I get offline tonight, I just wanted to make this quick note: My blog’s popularity has shot through the [...]
Emerging Church, Part 1
Posted in Emerging Church on March 14, 2008 | 17 Comments »
Things to remember as you read this:
I am not a theologian or Bible scholar – just a twenty-something Christian who wants to know and live in the heart of God…not as conservative as most people assume, but definitely not liberal.
My thoughts are a compilation of several years of questions about the emerging church, [...]
Flips.

I’m answering the phones for lunch today, so I have approximately ten more minutes of free time before I have to return to working at my desk. In the mean time…three happies for today:
1. FLIP-FLOPS. It’s finally nice enough outside to pull out my flips for the spring and summer. No more socks - my feet are free. [...]
Spring break.

Class #1 for this semester: Complete. Awaiting a final grade. Looks good.
Class #2 for this semester: Begins in one week. Ranked as the most difficult and time-consuming class in the entire counseling grad program. I’m bracing myself for a doozy.
Class #1 ended today, and class #2 does not start until next Sunday, so for all [...]
Pathway, Quest, home.
Posted in Uncategorized on March 7, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’m currently curled up in a chair in one of my favorite places in Cleveland – Pathway. Pathway is a giant Christian bookstore in Cleveland, and it reminds me of a less-cluttered Barnes & Noble. They have a Starbucks coffee place right in the middle of the store, and I’m literally surrounded by thousands of [...]
