Our son, Lukas, is 26 today. He’s on the road watching a pitcher at the University of Tennessee, and then on his way home. Here are some pics, one from Mexico’s New Year’s party and the other from Thanksgiving we spent with Annika and Luke: |inline Read more
I will begin a series this week on 1 Peter and contend that 1 Peter is a good example of what theology looks like in an emerging environment. Read more
This justified rant by TSK is exactly what a rant out to be. Top of the list for me. And, finally, a missionally-shaped, emerging-focused, technologically-alert, monastically-inspired, internationally-influenced Christian who will read academically-oriented bloggers. |inline Read more
