Mike Stavlund is a writer who works from a 5-car pile-up at the intersection of his Christian faith and real life. He lives with his
wife and 3 daughters in a small house which he remodeled himself outside Washington, DC. He’s a part of an innovative emergence Christian community called Common Table, a co-conspirator with the Relational Tithe, and a proud part of the collective called Emergent Village. Some consider him a Renaissance man, some an intellectual, some a redneck, and he’s flattered in every case. He cooks, he cleans, he changes diapers and brakes, and he shops at a real hardware store at every opportunity. His first book, "Force of Will" will be published by Baker in March of 2013, and he blogs at MikeStavlund.com.
