My papers and such on ministry. Being and making apprentices of Jesus in a changing world. We thought…but found… (part 1). October 1, 2014. I’m finally to some of the “meat” of what we’ve learned in trying to start a church as a network of missional communities in NW Indiana. I’ve written about our vision. And the city we started in. I shared some of the ways we saw God work. In and through our community. Now to figure out what we’ve learned from this season! First, we thought. I remember listening to a ...

Thinking Out Loud …. A God who speaks my language. May 15, 2016. I haven’t blogged in the last few months as I have been busy finishing up my thesis, but I’m hoping to get back into it soon. For now, here’s a post I wrote for Tabor’s blog “Manna” last week …. But every time a student raises this issue, I’m reminded about a wonderful and profound truth those gaps teach me about our God. How do we decide what to care about? April 29, 2015. Like many other Australians, I was horrified this morning to hear o...

Thinking Out Loud …. Some thoughts on racism, listening, and the gospel. August 2, 2015.

It doesn’t matter if it is summer or winter, day or night, twilight or sunset, it’s a beautiful place to visit. Seeing it on the horizon instantly reminds you that you are in Paris, with all the emotions and possibilities that city’s name conjures up. It is the most visited tourist attraction in the world. Oh, the views. But at 324 m...
