Recently I shared a clip on social media about whether robots could be made in the image of God (from episode 31 of Cabernet and Pray). In response to that, I received an overwhelming number of comments online. Now in Episode 33, I reflect on what I learned from these reactions.
This leads me to...
The third reading list post of the year usually begins with me talking about how the brutal heat in Arizona has finally turned, and we are finally enjoying the weather. Except Arizona is acting like a jilted ex and decided to keep three-digit temperatures going way longer than it has any right to do...
This past weekend, I preached on the idea of Christianity as a story for us to tell. Ever since I got awarded the "Best Storyteller" award in kindergarten, it's been clear to me how much I love a good story. And apparently, so does Jesus. That's why many of his teachings were in story format thro...
I enjoy playing video games with my kids and by myself to relax. Playing Fortnite has allowed me to experience them "on their turf" in a unique way. It's also a very humbling experience as two of them are far better than me. I contribute best to our squad through encouragement and carrying heals ...

Here are three things I've noticed.

Have you ever wanted to skip the journey and just get to the destination in life? We live in a world that is so focused on results and outcomes.
This past weekend I explored the story of David as a powerful example of this. David was anointed as the future king of Israel when he was just a youn...
Batman and Robin.
Peanut butter and jelly.
Mario and Luigi.
Fear and Christianity.
It seems some things just go together.
And it's not just the fear of hell (although that's the big one). It turns out we've found ways to weave fear into much of how we make sense of Christianity. It could be ...

Yet we often look at all that has been established and then downplay what slowly...
