uh ... what?: May 2008
http://matt-gallion.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 21, 2008. This is a guest post from Ian Scott Paterson. Check his. I first began writing to foster myself to greatness. . When I put myself into these stories, however, I find I’m not wearing Hero’s shoes. I’m atop a dark mountain, looking down at a world fighting in the chaos I created, laughing maniacally. I was the Villain. All irony intended, my soap box was desecrated by words in stories. Posted by matt gallion. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Springfield, MO, United States.

Wednesday, October 31, 2007. Read this. Listen to this. Tell me how you feel. Http:/ reformedvoices.blogspot.com/2007/10/todd-friel-interviews-doug-pagitt-of 24.html. Is Doug Pagitt (and therefore, the entire emergent movement) a proclaimer of heresy? Posted by matt gallion. Thursday, October 25, 2007. Http:/ www.jesuscreed.org/? First and foremost, I'd like to read this book, if there are any Christmas shoppers out there. Secondly, what are your reactions to this type of thinking? Posted by matt gallion.

Thursday, December 20, 2007. Or Jerry Seinfeld's Bee Movie. Now, normally a decision between Steven King and Jerry Seinfeld is a no-brainer, but The Mist. Started sooner and my future mother-in-law is a sucker for a crappy horror movie. And so it was. This is by no means an attempt to review this movie, as it was everything I am sure you might think. Instead, I just wanted to point out a few little somethings I found interesting. But even more broadly, King seems to have something to say about religion a...

uh ... what?: The Environmentalist, Take 2
http://matt-gallion.blogspot.com/2008/12/environmentalist-take-2.html
Monday, December 08, 2008. The Environmentalist, Take 2. This is an extended and more complete version of the last post. Enjoy. 160; . Up to this point in time, there have been a relatively small number of books on leadership in post-modern ecclesiology. However, one such work has redefined the way I view the idea of church leadership in a post-Christian society. Tim Keel’s book. Creativity is easily identified, Keel says, by its fondness for tension. Such creative communities require leadership...

uh ... what?: Summer Time, a Series of Posts and Soteriological Epistemology
http://matt-gallion.blogspot.com/2008/08/summer-time-series-of-posts-and.html
Monday, August 18, 2008. Summer Time, a Series of Posts and Soteriological Epistemology. Hello my few and faithful friends,. It has been a long time since I've posted, and I feel I ought to apologize for the long lull in conversation. I fully intend to pick up my conversation on the ecclesial role of women with at least one more post, but I have some more pressing thoughts on my mind at the moment. That you're anywhere close? How do we know the truth of Christ's gospel? The question is really one centere...

uh ... what?: Christian community, conflict and the role of a "pastor"
http://matt-gallion.blogspot.com/2008/10/christian-community-conflict-and-role.html
Thursday, October 30, 2008. Christian community, conflict and the role of a "pastor". Students begin to feel betrayed by their pastors, as if their pastors were either liars or ignorant men (and yes, they are almost all men). And so what role would a pastor who stands in this great chasm play? Posted by matt gallion. I think you have an excellent point. It's not so easy when we wrap all of those things up in one person. How do we logistically move away from this? Because this thing is a big struggle and ...

uh ... what?: June 2008
http://matt-gallion.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 24, 2008. Here's some thoughts I picked up from Andrew Jones:. I love the word missional but it still has some problems:. 1 It is often dumbed down by people who confuse it with "evangelistic" or "mission-minded". 2 It has often been purged by some evangelicals of its connections to the global mission movement (read 'Ecumenical') and given a newer and more acceptable face. 5 It lacks an immediate connection with worship which might be the flip side and a necessary balance. What do you think?

uh ... what?: It has its place.
http://matt-gallion.blogspot.com/2008/12/it-has-its-place.html
Thursday, December 04, 2008. It has its place. I'm gonna try to start another blog series (something I suck at). This time, I want to spend some time expounding on what I feel like I am called to do, or rather, who I am called to be as a person in ministry. I see (so far) five roles that I desire to live into as a "pastor.". 3 Dreamer and Story-Teller. Stay tuned for more explanation of each (hopefully). Posted by matt gallion.

uh ... what?: January 2008
http://matt-gallion.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 05, 2008. What It Is to Blog. Truth be told, I am not much more than a kid playing make believe, and I'm playing with some pretty dangerous toys. I like to pretend that I'm a real writer. Heck, we all must. That's why we blog. We want to be read and to feel somehow validated by the comments of our plethora of readers. In my own mind, the approval of readers proves that my opinions are not worthless. 1 Blogging to Scratch an Itch. 2 Blogging to be Heard. 3 Blogging to be an Author.

uh ... what?: September 2007
http://matt-gallion.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 30, 2007. I'm Emerging. I like Philosophy. Love is What Makes the World Go Around. The Commune 10.1.07. The world we live in is filled with constant struggle. As I so very slowly grow old, I am beginning to notice that nearly all of our strife stems from relationships. They say that art imitates life, and if so, TV most definitely demonstrates the difficulty of relationships. Socrates adds that man only seeks such completion, if it is truly good. Therefore, for Socrates, we seek the...
