In March of 2010 my book Repentance and Recovery was released. In the three years since that time I have learned a lot. Looking back on the entire experience of studying, writing, publishing and promoting several things stick out to me. I wish I had not rushed so much. I was in such a hurry [...]

There has recently been unfair internet criticism aimed at Andy Stanley. It’s ok if you are unaware of what I’m referring to but I’m not going to mention the issue here because it’s not worthy of acknowledging the small people who have created it. So as someone who has benefited much from Andy’s ministry, I [...]

I have been blogging for over four years now. In that time I’ve learned quite a bit about practice and discipline when it comes to writing for a blog. A couple posts of mine have created quite a buzz and got a lot of hits, which caused me to tighten up and create a good [...]

In the past years my life has contained no shortage [...]

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 [...]

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.

As I had mentioned before, I went with some friends this past Sunday to Anderson, South Carolina to attend NewSpring Church. I had been there about 18 months ago for their Unleashed conference but never for a regular Sunday service. It was at that conference in ’08 I was introduced to Perry Noble, and have [...]
