It's been over three years since I was last on staff at a church and I ended my season in full-time ministry as a Lead Pastor. Last week, I shared five things I miss from that season (see: 5 Things I Miss Most), so today I thought I would share a few of the things I miss the least. As a disclaimer, ...
It's been over three years since I was last on staff at a church and I ended my season in full-time ministry as a Lead Pastor. While I wouldn't want to go back, I sometimes miss it, so I thought I would share a few of the things I miss the most.
1. Bringing people along on a journey: I loved how ea...
Last year I dipped my toe into the podcasting waters, and it reinforced how much I like this medium. Then I started thinking about how fun it would be to start a podcast where I explore Christianity through the beauty of wine. And today I get to introduce you to Cabernet and Pray.
I'll use this ...
One of the people I follow online is Dr. James DiNicolantonio. His name may be a lot to pronounce, but I really appreciate how he talks about holistically having a healthier lifestyle. He's worth the follow.
He posts lots of different ways to improve your life, and recently he posted the following...
We’ve wrapped up our podcast The Forest and the Trees going through each chapter of the book of Romans.

We hosted an event for Communion Wine Co. on Monday and decided to try something new. Normally I share thoughts on a subject (or bring in a guest to do so) and then follow it up with Q&A. But I've really enjoyed how these events often wander off the intended course and turn into a larger discussion....
I just finished my ninth read through Walter Brueggemann's book, The Prophetic Imagination. This book is so good and I continue to find something new with each read. For example, this passage stood out to me for the first time.
Thus the teaching presumed a contrast between that to which we cli

If you read much from Christian writers, you will likely come across the name A.W. Tozer. In 1949 he wrote "The Pursuit of God" which is now considered a classic by many. He was a profoundly influential pastor and writer both in his lifetime and since. His was a faith that many have tried to emul...
I recently read something I can't stop thinking about. And while it's not a pleasant thought to consider, it has profound implications for what we believe. (Trigger warning: violence involving children).
In the book After Evangelicalism, David Gushee shares an insight into theology from a Jewish Ra...
