This video is me interviewing a straight participant in the I’m Sorry Campaign 2010 Atlanta stop. She just so happens to be an Officer in the Salvation Army. An Officer is what the Salvation Army calls a pastor. It seems to be that she just found church. Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more

What is My One Sentence Bible? 10-26-10: There are two types of discipleship: Those that disseminate personally structured tradition and those that disseminate the unbound teachings of Jesus. Mark 7:13-16 Don’t be stupid enough to think that rules make someone holy—their heart and actions do. Mark 7:17-23 Our dense brains can’t even conceptualize the exact same miracle happening twice in the exact same situation. Where’s the faith? Mark 8:1-9 Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more

What is My One Sentence Bible? 10-25-10: Jesus never went looking for attention to show off his miracles. They were in response to a critic or a need. Mark 6:48-50; 7:32-36 Don’t ever let culture’s traditions guilt you to stop doing Kingdom’s work. Mark 7:1-8 Selective criticism is the most efficient way to defend your power structure over others. Mark 7:9-12 Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more
I just got a message from my doctor saying that the growth that had to have a biopsy came back benign! Thank you all so very much for your prayers over the past week. This is a huuuuuuge relief. Phew. The doctor said it is: “Not a wart or calcium build-up or cancer. Just a built up mass on your toe. No need to worry now that we know what it is. We can remove it if it ever starts to bother you.”... Read more
ICSEX – Andrew Marin Breakout Session from The Idea Camp on Vimeo. Watching this video back I learned another valuable lesson in critiquing myself for what it means to speak in public – what is in my head doesn’t always translate in certain moments in vocalization. But, the life of learning what it means to live and love, especially when much of what you do is recorded or documented, isn’t always easy or doesn’t always come out right. At the very... Read more
