I was outraged. Following the presidential politics, I was checking a news website, and I came across a headline: Bush voices concern over Darfur rebels strikes against Sudan government. What?!? After 10 years of the international community sitting by while religious and ethnic genocides ravages this country, the current U.S. administration shares concerns over violence now?
I do not promote violence or violent resistance. The way of...

When we look at the story of Jesus, we see a fully integrated description of both proclamation and presence of the Kingdom of God. Jesus embodied God's reign of righteousness-justice, and his words and deeds were an inseparable representation of God's Kingdom. Jesus was fully present amidst the brokenness and lostness of our world, and he brought justice and restoration. Jesus proclaimed the worldview of the Kingdom of God as true reality, and he did so without apology....

Well, I've just begun the "field work" portion of my research project, and this is the part -- while a little more difficult -- that really gets me excited. It's the part that I believe we have the most to learn from. Last year, I put together a literature review paper that worked through some of the major themes involved in organic church planting in North America, and at this stage I'm conducting interviews with actual organic church planters. First, I'll survey (via phone) leaders of...

A couple of weeks ago my family and I went tent-camping for three nights. It was not only Adalia's first time, but it was Hylma's too! It was great. On the last night there, someone nearby came over asking for lighter fluid. Unfortunately for them, I had to explain that I didn't have any lighter fluid and had lit my fire "the old fashioned way." Knowing well how to build a fire combined with a lack rain, I didn't use more than a couple of matches throughout the entire 3 days.

I've done a certain exercise with a few different groups as I've had opportunities to teach. I ask everyone to list several qualities that they believe their "unchurched" or unbelieving friends would say about church. I've done this in two different states and a handful of different groups, and the response is always the same. Negative, overwhelmingly negative. Then, I ask them to list several qualities that they believe the crowds -- not the Twelve -- said (or would likely have said) about...

A couple of days ago I received a call from a minister/church planter in Florida. We had never met, but our hour and a half conversation was the result of his own need to connect to someone doing this sort of "organic" ministry that he is feeling drawn towards. He described his own heart for people, his love of God, and his search for church as community.
Trying to encourage him, I assured him that he is not alone in the way that he is feeling. He shared how so many church...
