I am a follower of King Jesus. I am a husband to one amazing wife. I have 5 crazy-cool kids. I pastor/mentor others in the Way, Grace and Goodness of Jesus.
Re-reading MLK’s Strength to Love: “in a real sense, all life is interrelated. All are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality… I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be.”
O that we would recapture a sense of responsibility for one another.
I came across @darinmcwatters podcast and this line struck me: “God is not us on a good day”. Great thought to consider. Thanks Brother.
Sometimes our image of God is shaped by what we want Him to be rather than who He is. Does your theology of God have room for mystery?
I want to think intentionally about how the Church can be a blessing to the communities in which we live. I am increasingly convinced that having been through so much in the past year, if the Church could get Mark 10:42-45 marinated in our souls it would be good. Let’s chat!
Coming back from my #sabbatical and realizing while we would like to learn the rhythms of rest, we too easily exchange one set of busyness for another.
I’m learning a new rhythm.
Sunday’s message will center on becoming a Good and Beautiful Community. In particular, how our community follows the radical and distinctive way of Jesus. Thinking it is a needed reminder of who we are as the Church. @jamesbryansmith@CrossroadsCHOG
Reading Survival Guide for the Soul by @KenShigematsu and finding the practices to be life-giving. If you’re looking to have a flourishing soul...I highly recommend it! But don’t just read it...do it!
