The Church and Millennials- Part 2

Today I am picking up the conversation about what the church might be able to learn from millennials.

Millennials value authenticity, and because of this they value authentic stories– in preaching, leading and relationship. They want to know … Continue reading The Church and Millennials- Part 2

The Church and Millennials- Part 1

This past weekend I had the chance to participate in an open-space conversation on the purpose and practices of lay theological education. As part of this discussion, there emerged a recognition and need to talk openly with and about millennials. How can the church engage them? How can the church meet them where they are at? As one of probably only two actual millennials in … Continue reading The Church and Millennials- Part 1

Twelve Questions on my Mind Today

Every once and awhile a big question pops into my head. Sometimes I think about those questions and am completely focused on them. Sometimes I ignore the questions because I am just too busy. Other times I write the questions down and allow myself time to reflect and wrestle with them. I seem to have had a lot of questions lately. In fact, far more … Continue reading Twelve Questions on my Mind Today

From Where I Sit

I’m excited to announce a new pilot project I am helping get off the ground with LEAD. “Have you ever tried to talk about a major issue in society or the world with your family members or friends? Was it a positive experience? Or did the conversation turn into a debate or argument with polar opposite views, anger, and frustration? If you found yourself nodding … Continue reading From Where I Sit

“Sir! Don’t they have barbers where you are from?”

A couple weeks ago I was spending the day in New York City with my family. We were in the midst of a fun day, checking off bucket list items for both of my parents and decided to go spend some time in Central Park. We were heading to Central Park with the end goal of finding a nice shady bench and some hot dogs for … Continue reading “Sir! Don’t they have barbers where you are from?”
