A little while ago I wrote a series about using WordPress to build a church website. Since then, we’ve come up with a quick and easy solution for posting our worship team schedule. We have a lady who coordinates and schedules our various people who assist during Sunday mornings. She wanted to be able to […]
Is “Grow” a Four Letter Word?
Over the past few weeks I have been listening to a lot of podcasts from William Willimon, who is currently the Bishop of the North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist Church. I didn’t know much about Willimon much before this recent spate of listening, except that he was dean of the Chapel and professor […]

Charities and Lutherans
Did you know that the U.S. donates almost $1.4 trillion dollars to charity every year? Or that the charity that has the highest revenue is Lutheran Services in America at $16.6 billion? I didn’t either. All this is according to Mint.com, which I found over at Adam McLane’s blog. Go there for lots of more […]
The Resurrection, Eschatology, and Youth Ministry
How do we deal with the resurrection of Jesus within our youth ministries? Of course, we talk about Jesus’ resurrection quite a bit (hopefully). But what does that mean? Do we get to experience resurrection now? Do we get to experience resurrection only in the future? Or do we somehow get glimpses and tastes of […]
Peekaboo
Alright, so my digital slumber (hibernation is more like it) has finally come to a close. A few people have noticed that I haven’t blogged, tweeted, facebooked, et cetera, in the past few weeks (months). And the reason? Well, there isn’t really a good one. During October I just didn’t feel like writing, so I […]
Maybe the ELCA should become Lutheran
I listened to a lecture for class yesterday by Dr. Walter Sundberg that included some great quotes that give a hint of Luther’s ecclesiology. The radicalness of his vision for the church, especially considering the authoritarian hierarchy of the day, is remarkable. Does the ELCA want some suggestions for a way forward, a way of […]
Linkworthy – 10/18/09
Youth Ministry Make a paper youth directory using a free program. I’ve never used this, but it looks interesting. Joel is rethinking big events. Is this what youth pastors will look like in 2019? I hope it doesn’t take that long. Halloween and the sexualization of evil. Adam McLane is starting a new youth ministry. […]
Writing a Sermon on Paper
I preached this past Sunday, and due to certain circumstances I started writing my sermon on paper. My wife Alicia was interviewing on Friday for a residency next year and I went with her (mostly for the free meals). There were four separate interviews scheduled, so I thought that would give me some good time […]
5 Year Blogging Anniversary
Yup, today is it. It’s hard to believe that I have been blogging for five years (although with varied degrees of commitment). For those who think that they will start blogging in order to become famous, I say: Ha! Blogging is a lesson in perseverance, my friend. For those who are wondering how this thing […]
