    I write for the church

    I am beginning to flesh out my book more. The working title is What Happened to My Church? Holding Onto Your Spiritual Family Without Tossing Out Your Faith. The intimidation factor is great. What do I have to say? What do I have to add? How do I write so I don’t sound angry or bitter and have no solutions?…

    Looking back…

    I put this up again because the problem remains the same. We live in fear. We vote in fear. We lose sight of the Kingdom of God. We have a spiritual poverty that is deeply harming American Christianity. I hope to write a book soon chronicling our time and struggles. Join me in the journey. Reach out to me. Disagree…

    Re-evaluating my use of Substack and this blog

    Over a year ago I made the move to Substack and kept this blog present so if I didn’t like Substack, I could come back here. THIS ARTICLE is part of my evaluation as I think through how to navigate the “blogging” world. I still love blogging and posting. Has this site been more effective than Substack? Could you give…

    The elements of care

    We are in a harsh dualistic age. It has sharp edges. Ideologies are in combat and the stakes are this: “It has to be exactly like this or not at all.” This particular piece shows that tension.

    Digital Minimalism

    My wife and I recently listened to Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport on a trip. I was so impressed because he wasn’t calling for a whitewash of digital products in our lives. He was desiring to draw people back to thinking, meditation, clearing the mind, and developing deeper friendships once again.

    Our life in God

    I am trying to find a “groove” in a discipline of writing. This time it isn’t about blogging, but about actual writing. A book. One I’ve needed to write for quite some time and have just been too lazy and timid to organize. It is still a big mess, but I am working on it.

    It’s me, O Lord, standing in the need of prayer

    I need the Daily Office. I need the daily confession. I need the daily reminder of the creed. In this time, it is even more vital. The Sermon on the Mountain is calling out to me again.
