I’m not a professional writer. I mean, my book is coming out this summer, I have a few magazine articles in my files, and I post on this blog as often as I can, but I don’t make my living off of writing. Perhaps because my roof and food don’t depend on it, I find [...]

When someone asked me why I started this site and blog regularly, I responded by explaining that writing is my current outlet to teach and share the things I am experiencing and learning. Preaching used to be that for me. I thoroughly enjoy public speaking and used to have a position where I would sometimes [...]

For those of you who may be new to my blog or have not had a chance to read every post of mine, I have decided to do a year end compilation.
Since I began blogging last spring, I have posted my thoughts on entertainment, politics, spirituality, my own personal life, and more. Looking back, some [...]

Last night Katy and I went to see Donald Miller on the last stop of his speaking tour entitled a million miles in a thousand years. I was impressed with the hundreds of coffee shop culture young adults who showed up not for a concert, but a lecture. There was an atmosphere of emergence and [...]

One NFL story I have been particularly interested in is the return of Michael Vick, who after almost two years in [...]

The second chapter of my book Repentance and Recovery tends to be so dry and filled with dry, doctrinal language that I have reconsidered having it so near the front. My fear has been that some readers may get that far, become board in thumbing through my rants on dictionary definitions, and put the book [...]

Here are some excerpts from a piece our local newspaper ran a couple weeks ago covering the annual Southern Baptist Convention conference.
Southern Baptists are facing a membership decline that could shrink the nation’s largest Protestant denomination by nearly half in 40 years, its convention president said Tuesday.
The Rev. Johnny Hunt, a megachurch pastor from Woodstock, [...]

Just weeks after being released from my first church ministry position in August of 2007, I sat outside the Art Institute in Atlanta and made this record of observations on how I would do that ministry differently knowing and seeing what I do now.
Don’t be so organized! I planned to do so many things that [...]

I have experienced that many in our emerging communities today, especially those with religious backgrounds, have no problem talking about sin. Many times I have even been around some of my peers when they would begin to openly discuss serious and personal sins they were struggling with. I disagree with those who claim these actions [...]
