I’m back from a WONDERFUL vacation (no Blackberry for 6 days was close to the best thing I’ve ever experienced!), and what a better way to be greeted back then by an interview on The Frank Pastore Show – America’s most listened to Christian radio program. I have been on air with Frank one other time, and it was one of the most intriguing and best segments I have ever done. Frank is a great host, asks great questions, and... Read more
I’m going on vacation! The picture above is the resort where my wife and I will be staying. It’s our first vacation in almost two years, and it’s going to be awesome. So while I’m gone, underneath this post are four other new ones to keep the conversation rolling. I look forward to being with you again when I return. Much love.http://www.themarinfoundation.org/ Read more
Here is my final reflection from walking in the 2009 Chicago Gay Pride Parade and interviewing a variety of people who were all a part of that day as well. Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more

I was recently asked: How do you think modern views of historiography have affected our ability to think theologically and ethically about our past and present experiences? Here is my answer: Modern views of historiography, like most everything modern (or should I say postmodern?), are thoroughly rooted in a pluralistic secular movement of what it means to live in a post-Christian era. Sometimes I get shrieks when I say post-Christian, as most people look at Europe as the prime example... Read more
Brenda and I are looking for new flooring (still deciding if we should put in hardwood or that cool shag-type carpet). Anyway, we called Empire Carpet and they had a super-sailor-foul-mouthed man come over. Among his ramblings of which I paid no attention, he saw that I had a lot of religious books on my bookshelf. And out of nowhere he said: “Do you know what I think about living out your faith?”In my head I said: Nope—don’t know and... Read more

Short and to the point—this is officially the worst evangelism tool ever found on the face of the earth. Sadness strikes me in great amounts hearing this gay man’s response. Much love.www.themarinfoundation.org Read more
In this video I get yelled at and told I’m going to hell. The protestors thought I was gay. When I told them I wasn’t gay and went to a conservative seminary, I was still told I’m going to hell. One thing to notice about half way through the video, the guy with the megaphone kept yelling: “Sick, Sick, Sick”Does that really work? Maybe it’s just me, but that does absolutely no good—for anyone. Much love.http://www.themarinfoundation.org/ Read more
So. Many. People. In this video I offer a little prayer for bridge builders amidst the opportunity to be involved. Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more
