Spiritual memoirs are not something that normally catch my eye. Not because I don't find them interesting, I'm just a nerd that reads theology textbooks for fun. However, when I found out Stina Kielsmeier-Cook had one coming out I immediately jumped on that bandwagon. I have been following her on social media for a little … Continue reading Blessed are the Nones

Acts 03: A Field Guide for Overthrowing Empire and Oppression
https://evangebros.podbean.com/e/acts-3-a-field-guide-for-overthrowing-empire-and-oppression/ For the past few weeks Don and I have been going through the book of Acts. The lens in which we've approached it (as laid out in the title of this post) is how we can use it as a guide to overthrow empire and oppression. But there is something that makes this week … Continue reading Acts 03: A Field Guide for Overthrowing Empire and Oppression
Acts 1
This week on #evangebros we start in chapter one of Acts. I would say we spend quite a bit of time talking about the Spirit of God, and laying a bit of groundwork for chapter two. While I am not sure that'll always be the case, I can imagine that chapters where a lot happens … Continue reading Acts 1
Laying the Groundwork
In this weeks episode of #evangebros Don and I discuss the book of Acts. We are starting a new series where we will go through the book, a chapter at a time looking at it in the lens of a field guide for overthrowing empire and oppression. However, before we jump right into that, there … Continue reading Laying the Groundwork
Forward.
I have been silent on here for a while. The year started with some bad news for my wife and I, and I didn't have the heart to write. Then I thought of a series for Lent, but we found out we were going to have to move from Columbus to Northwest Ohio. Then a … Continue reading Forward.

Rainy Day Books
When I was a young ministry pup, I had been hard into learning the critical analysis and historical context of the Bible and deconstructing it before it was cool. I would (and still do) argue about nuanced things people over look in order, not to prove why my interpretation was correct but, to show that … Continue reading Rainy Day Books
Toe dip.
Today it has been two years since I dipped my toe back into the ministerial waters. Not to spoil tomorrow’s Evangebros episode, but I was invited back to preach at the last church I was on staff at. It just so happened that the day I was given to preach, was the last regular service, … Continue reading Toe dip.
Holy Notre Dame Week.
Sure it's sad that a centuries old church burnt up this week, especially during Holy Week. It is an architectural beauty with great paintings, history, and a Disney film. However, there have been three churches in Louisiana that have been historically black that burnt up as well. Notre Dame will be fine and a few … Continue reading Holy Notre Dame Week.
Reconstructing the Church: Part Two
Last week I posted about ringing in the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, the beginning of the death of mainstream evangelicalism. All of this needs to be considered when we ask ourselves, "what is next for the Church?" I don't listen to a whole lot of worship music, however Mars Hill Bible Church put out … Continue reading Reconstructing the Church: Part Two
