I’ve been thinking for some time now that the way we interact with a topic, theme or idea effects the way we think and feel about it as well. I guess this is simple and elemental to many folks. But I’ve been doing an experiment with a journal. So, I made an oddly shaped journal and began to take it… Read more →
Easter is quickly coming upon us. You know ’cause the candy has been in the stores for a while now. It has been a long time since I got into Easter candy. One year I gave up all sugar for Lent. No candy that year. I am thinking about doing something radical this year after Easter. Lots of folks do… Read more →
Today I watched Alan Hirsch give a talk at the Velocity Conference in Georgia. It was a great video and worth the 47 minutes to watch and take notes on. He made a pretty compelling argument for his statement, “The battle for the future of the church in the West will be won at the level of imagination or it will be… Read more →

I love to talk about innovation and to be innovative in my field. Part of my work is also with the Bible and in theology. Admittedly it is less threatening to be innovative in Christian mission and research. But they all require creativity and innovation. For me, the reason why Bible study and theology can be so creative and innovative… Read more →
This is a great video on the global statistics on Christianity (Evangelical) done by Intervarsity. Nicely done. It was presented at the Urbana conference. Here is where you can get more videos from the Urban2009 conference. I put evangelical in parenthesis since although they do not say specifically that they are talking about evangelicals the statistics do express that. I’m evangelical… Read more →
