“how metrosexual is your worship leader…?”
Cover of Stuff Christians Like While leading Communion last week, we wanted to emphasize a little about community and what it takes in relation to church – with our group.

kids and selfishness…
I’ve recently discovered… yeah right – I’ve known this all along… I’m selfish. When our first child came along, it was tough because I couldn’t live life as I did before. But after awhile, we found a way to still take him places and still sit down and relax (even if it was after he [...]
the 7 things series… a struggle through media consumption
7 Media Reductions Adullam Southwest May 16, 2010 @10:00am ————– For the month of June, we will be taking a look at 7 reductions of Media.

a pointed question from a friend – (and being away for a month)…
A friend asked me the other day… “Hey Chris… are you grateful and at peace for where you are now in ministry with people who love you, believe in you and are willing to let you lead and pastor…. or are you bitter, hurt or disappointed at those from past jobs/ministries about how they didn’t [...]

my “Avatar” experience…
like so many others… I went to see “Avatar” this week. I had heard from a few of my friends what an amazing movie it was. I had also heard from a few other people, that I should be wary of it/or not see it at all, because it teaches “Pantheism” (and we realize we [...]

This book is called, “Deep Church” by Jim Belcher, and seeks to take a look at the discussion (or sometimes worse, the fight) between the Emerging and Tradition sides in Evangelical Christianity.

Where do you start when sharing your story…?
Image by Rennett Stowe via Flickr When you share your story (if you ever do) with others… where do you start? Do you begin with childhood? Or you’re favorite memory? Or you’re darkest moment?
