As I finished lunch this past Wednesday, I was checking tweets and saw the above tweet from Bruce Reyes-Chow. Then I started doing some searching through hashtags and people’s tweets, and realized that the news was in fact true: fellow emergent church blogger Gideon Addington had taken his own life.

August is Psoriasis Awareness Month. As with any health-related issue and so many other issues in our world today – so many problems arise from misunderstandings, mis-communication and a lack of awareness. I was probably diagnosed with psoriasis about 10 years ago but it’s only been in the last 4-5 years that it’s really started [...]

There are many places in the world that I would love to travel to. Between my wife and my immediate family, I’m the only one who hasn’t been to Iona – and I think there is something wrong with that.

When I’m talking about Facebook, or explaining it to someone who may not be familiar with the social network, it generally comes up that I have a lot of connections on Facebook. As of December 8, 2008, I have 1478 “Friends” on Facebook. Now, many people handle their Friend Requests differently on social networking sites [...]

I can’t remember when I first met Will Samson, though it may have been at one of the first Emergent Conventions. Since then, he and I have crossed paths numerous times (Princeton Seminary, Yale Divinity School, Emergent Cohorts and other conferences). He and his wife have recently co-written a book entitled Justice in the Burbs. [...]

I met Joe Myers a few years ago at an Emergent event and have enjoyed getting to know him since then, as we’ve run into each other a couple times and as I’ve had the chance to read both of his great books, The Search to Belong (short review here) and his newest book, Organic [...]
