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.

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.
Praying with your Feet

My co-host Don was present for the protests in Toledo this past Saturday, and we discuss it. He asked me to gather some quotes, memes, etc on the protests/riots and discuss them. … Continue reading Praying with your Feet
Advent: Love

“…sometimes they are exaggerated beyond the truth and become ludicrous.”
The church frequently reports extraordinary things, and sometimes they are exaggerated beyond the truth and become ludicrous. Therefore, I advise you not to accuse your brother Roricus unjustly in your heart, and not to move beyond the bounds in speaking depraved words about him. God knows that you do not act rightly in this matter. … Continue reading “…sometimes they are exaggerated beyond the truth and become ludicrous.”
Don, Lee, and Evangebros
Don and Lee Talk About Happiness This week I was unable to record with Don, but I thoroughly enjoyed the episode. It was great hearing Don sit down with another person in his discipleship group. Honestly, I want a Don and Lee series. Check it out. I have been having audio linking issues so if … Continue reading Don, Lee, and Evangebros
Advent: Hope
