I’ve got 20 minutes. Yesterday I was reading Dwell magazine. An article about “rethinking your bathroom.” They’d highlighted sentences for me, and had several callouts of “fun facts.” All I read were the highlights and the factoids. So I’m part of whatever problem I’m about to address. Thought 1: most worth while data, insights, or [...]

Samson Society Podcast
I spent the summer of 2008 traveling with the Samson Society, and am very close with a good number of Samson guys. Today I’m their guest on second half of the podcast. Powered by Podbean.com
Grief, Joy and Floods
I’ve been in a strange sort of shock all week. Last weekend I was in Nashville for a men’s initiation weekend when the floods came. We evacuated earlier than I would have, but it turns out we left just in time, and we still lost a lot of stuff. If we’d waited until I would [...]
Sheep, Shepherds, Love and Power
Bad news: there’s a lot to think about in this post. Good news: there are 2 videos, and one of them is an NBC Dateline, so the thinking doesn’t have to be all THAT hard. :::::: Lately my dad and I have been having conversations about personal responsibility versus community. There is a tension about [...]
How big a deal is sin to a Christian?
I am not asking “how big a deal do Christians make of sin?” Nor am I asking “how big a deal is sin in the world?” Nor am I asking “do Christians sin?” I’m asking: How big a deal is sin to a Christian? Ah, man. As soon as I wind up to start responding [...]
Hard, wet punching sounds. [EXPLICIT]
I’ve got Fight Club on the brain this week. Ten days ago one of my best friends was taken to rehab. Another friend is recently divorced – and is more recently taking a break from friends to isolate. Several others are exactly where they want to be…dying. And one, the friend who showed up in [...]

Share with your friends. The audio file [...]
Ron Frost & Bible Read-Throughs
If you’ve read Blue Like Jazz, Ron Frost’s story and inspiration for “Bible read throughs” may ring a bell. Ron is a friend of mine who has also be a huge influence in my theology, especially relating to the Trinity. Especially relating to the Trinity being happy and focused on spreading goodness to delight in [...]
Tumors, Muscles and the Face of Christianity
“The rest of the church is just so lame by comparison.” I hear it with nearly every church, ministry, non-profit or recovery client or friend. Some aspect of life, or some gathering, some ministry, some men’s group, some cause – some thing has grabbed the attention of a portion of the Body and become so [...]
The Joy of Being My Father’s Passenger
Earlier this week I joined my dad for a quick trip to Kentucky to pick up the daughter of a Romanian friend of Dad’s, who is in college and who is heading home to Romania for Christmas. I asked if I could ride along because I wanted the time with my dad. The ride down [...]
