In what seems like a previous life, I was a red blooded patriot, after September 11th I wanted to join the military (I was, of course, too young, and am thankful that I didn’t). I lauded at a friend that said he would never join the military, I told him I thought he was a [...]
That’s right, I hereby declare this day, June 17th, “National Thank Your Commenter Day.” You guys are basically the life force that keep me blogging, carrying on the conversation to a level that I cannot do alone, you guys make my blog worth reading. Often times we don’t think about the commenting section as the [...]
It’s been a crazy day, we’ve heard lots of voices chime in on the “Disappointed Emergent” issue, it’s been a bit overwhelming to see them all. I’ve done my best to read through them, as well as the subsequent comments, and I’ve come to the conclusion this conversation was necessary. It was needed. That does [...]
I was a bit surprised at the number of responses I got from my first post entitled “Drawing Lines,” I have a few regular commenters (all of whom I greatly appreciate and your comments influence me more than I let on), but I had quite a few different/new voices respond to me in that post. [...]
I have the pleasure of being part of quite an interesting cohort. While I imagine (and based of my experiences at a second cohort I’ve been to a few times) most cohorts are, at least theologically, progressive in nature, several of the attendees at the cohort I’m a part of are more conservative in nature.

Well, considering I missed posting this at all last week, I felt I really needed to make sure I did it this week. Thus, here I am, battling through my cold, giving you the Saturday Roundup. First up, if you haven’t checked out Open Table Theology yet, please give us a look. Blake did an [...]
There are a lot of thinkers out there, there are a lot of tinkerers out there, there are a lot of voices that don’t always have a platform to speak from out there, and there is a lot to learn from all of those people. My hope is via “Open Table Theology” to bring some [...]
There will be a small conference, starting this Friday, with 24 people discussing the future of Emergent Village. I wanted to take a minute and type out some thoughts/hopes for the future of EV, since it’s been instrumental in much of the conversation and many of the friendships I have grown into over the past [...]
I worked a ten hour shift yesterday, then went to a bachealor party last night, so I didn’t have a chance to write out the roundup for the week. (Though, to be honest, I probably could have done it yesterday, I’m probably just lazy). First up, my friend Paul responded to my post on becoming [...]
They haven’t updated the main website but, according to the facebook group page, we will be meeting Tuesday night at Johnnie MacCrackens, 7:00. If last months meeting was of any indication, showing up a tad bit earlier than 7:00 will probably be of great benefit. If there are as many people as there were last [...]
