Four years ago this October, I was reading an excellent book from Tommy Tenny called The God Chasers. In it, he wrote a phrase that simply leaped out of the page when I read it. It goes something like this: “If someone would simply open a store that dispenses Jesus, the hungry masses would come.” [...]
While working today, I’ve been watching “The Nines” out of the corner of my eye. The Nines is a one-day video-based online Christian leadership seminar. The theme is for each leader to spend about six minutes sharing what the “game changers” have been in their lives and their ministries. It’s going to take a while [...]
In the previous couple of posts in this series, I wrote a bit about the journey I’ve been on over the past few years. I was intending on continuing in short order with a further exposé of what was going on in my life right now and I what I felt God was calling me [...]
Hey, welcome back. The saga continues. In my previous post, I went back in time to 2006 and began to describe some of the events that occurred that year, things that would make a huge impact on my spiritual life.

If you have, then you may be feeling very confused, disappointed, lost, even betrayed right now. It started out so unassuming…another conference at a [...]
Today, my brother Shayne and I attended The Whiteboard Sessions, a one-day church leadership conference that was organized by Ben Arment who is a pastor of Reston Community Church. Heh, that would explain why the event was held in Reston, VA. Silly me. Honestly, I had no idea who Ben was or practically how this [...]
Ben over at openswitch links to this post by Dan Edelen regarding living the American Christian life. Quote: I want to believe that a man can work a sixty-hour week, spend quality time with his wife and kids, be involved in his community, find time for leisure, and still be an effective disciple of Jesus [...]
For those of you who remember that I was writing a blog series a couple of months ago, welcome back! To those who don’t have a clue what this is all about, please read the first two posts in this series: Look Normal, Smell Different, and Look Different, Smell Old. And now, without further ado, [...]
