on bears and monsters

The upcoming UNCO12 conference asked for submissions of liturgies based on 2 Kings 2:23-25 today on Facebook. That’s the passage where the bears come out of the woods and maul the children taunting Elisha. Not a verse often heard in church. Still, sometimes inspiration can come from pretty curious p

on calling…

“So, when are you joining the ministry?” I heard this phrase on many occasions growing up in church. Not because of any gripping or charismatic sermons in youth group or expressed desire to be in pastoral leadership, but rather because my dad was the pastor of our church. “Oh, that’s not for me,” wa

One thing that has been keeping me busy recently is a video project for my church, Sanctuary CRC. We are starting a new sermon series on the role of Kingdom justice in our lives and what that means for us and the church. I helped produce a video to introduce this series to the congregation. [...]

on prayers of rememberence, confession and hope…

Ten years ago, 19 men crashed two passenger jets into the twin towers of the World Trade Center and a third into the Pentagon.

on remembering september 11…

on church, culture and language…

I spent four days this last week at the Kindlings Fest conference up on Orcas Island. Kindlings is an organization dedicated “to rekindle the spiritual, intellectual and creative legacy of Christians in culture.” The theme of this year’s conference was “turning mourning into dancing.” Most of the ar
