This book, Ex-Gays?, is not an easy read because the authors, Stan Jones and Mark Yarhouse, want this to be seen as an empirically-based study. The prose is fine but this is a serious piece and not your typical storied study of homosexuality and the Christian faith. So, in one fell swoop I will summarize three chps about “methodology” and “sample” and “understanding and measuring change of sexual orientation.” |inline Read more
Tim Keel, founding pastor at Jacob’s Well in Kansas City, says this: “My former church was a suburban megachurch functioning under Willow Creek’s seeker-targeted church paradigm. I was a naive and idealistic twenty-seven-year-old wanting to call off all bets in order to creatively engage everything in the pursuit of God.” This, from p. 83, is a defining theme for Tim Keel’s new book, Intuitive Leadership. |inline Read more
The story has been around for a long time: the Cubs, the storied franchise that plays at the even more storied Wrigley Field — the finest sports venu in the world, are for sale.

In Walsh-Keesmaat,Colossians Remixed, we are exploring how a postmodern world can grapple with Paul’s “totalizing” worldview in Colossians. |inline Read more
The subject of Jones and Yarhouse’s Ex-Gays?, whether or not there is evidence that those with homosexual orientation can change that orientation, is not an easy topic to discuss. But, I think we’ve seen that we can talk and learn from one another. The rationale of the study is the topic of chp 3. |inline Read more
Kris and I were laughing the other day about jobs I’ve had — starting way back in high school. And in the hope some of you will cough up information, bad memories or not, here are some of the jobs I’ve had: |inline Read more
