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 [...]

Learning the Flow
I’m going to talk about something in this post that will need at least three caveats for some people. The first is that I know the Enneagram is rooted in Sufi mysticism, though it has been adopted and well-embraced by Christians, especially in contemplative Catholic circles.

The Lone Nut
Forwarded by a friend in Jacksonville who is very much the shirtless dancing guy. I’m looking forward to having finished material to share about what he’s doing. I have been hired to help refine and tell the story and hope to have stuff ready before long. In the meantime, check out River City Church, where [...]

Christianity – in the sense of stuff church people do and protest [...]
The end of "Fat Tuesday"
When I decided I wanted to go ahead with the surgery, I started getting very proactive. I was eating well, exercising a lot, pursuing accountability – stuff like that. And as I moved forward, something sprung in me. I wish I could explain it better, but my feelings reminded me of an old episode of [...]
Seashell Shards & Restored Relationships
This is the shard of shell I picked up on my hike when I was a kid (referenced in one of the first chapters in the book). When my relationship with Christine began to get serious, I told her the story and I asked her to hold on to the shell for me, telling her [...]
