Growing up in the church, Jesus as the son of God is the only thing I have known. This is truly a blessing, but it skews my perspective. It is nearly impossible for me to understand how the world could view him as anything else. And although I am grateful for my upbringing, I do not [...]
Last week I wrote about the two different ways to express your opinion. One is to be a critic. The other is to care enough to change the world. I hope that the post helped you to make a decision to do something, but after reading it again, I realized I left something out. A [...]
There is truth in the saying, “I am entitled to my opinion.” Having an opinion is good. Coming from different backgrounds and varying perspectives, it is helpful to develop your own take on the world and we all need you to share it. We need your thoughts. We need your contribution. We need to see [...]
I did not find enough value in women. Maybe I am being too easy on myself. Calling myself a pig is probably more accurate. Specifically, I am referring to my views on the role of women in the church. Being Biblical I was not motivated out of hatred. My goal was not suppression. I just [...]
I used to be a normal church attender living in a weird world. The references to normal and weird from this post were influenced by Seth Godin’s new book We Are All Weird. He explains these concepts in a much more detailed and entertaining way in the book than I can in this post. Godin [...]

He can anticipate the changes that are ahead and develop more effective strategies. He knows how to make a difference. Godin is helping people everywhere rethink how they attract attention, especially in an [...]
I don’t like Christian movies. I know I am not supposed to say that. I know that if someone puts a Christian label on something I am supposed to love it and support it and pay money for it, but I just can’t. I can’t say that the majority of Christian movies are worth the [...]
Eight weeks ago I told you about my crossover from being the doctor to becoming the patient. On Sunday my treatment is over and for the first time since injuring it, I will be permitted to bend my right middle finger. The treatment will be over, but the recovery will continue. In addition to having [...]
Great song by a great new worship band All Sons and Daughters. I am looking forward to hearing them live next month. Check out their website. Buy the EP on iTunes. You deserve it.
