A clearinghouse for all things religion of every variety, Patheos, recently asked me to write an article for them on a new medium of engagement between the gay community and evangelicals. Here it is. Also, here is the page where you can find the 4 other articles that were written in their GLBT/evangelical series during the month of April. Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more

I posted my full talk here from Q. Although the response on my blog (and many other sites) has been overwhelmingly positive, there have been just as many harsh words written about what I said. I knew this would happen (duh!), but it’s so ironic to me that many of the people writing that crap about what I said are the exact ‘branded Christianity’ target audience I was speaking to … shocker. Here’s a paraphrased summary of a typical negative response... Read more
First off, let me apologize for being an absentee friend (at least, that is what I feel like). So much has happened recently in such a short period of time that it’s one of those for real moments of ‘when it rains it pours.’ I’m back now, but here is a quick summary of what has happened over the last few weeks, just in case you haven’t been able to keep up on Facebook or Twitter: April 3-26 – I’m on...

So a day after I land from England I had to speak at the one-of-a-kind Q Conference, which was being held in Chicago this year (I took the picture above from my phone as I was about to go on stage). I was very humbled that Q’s founder, Gabe Lyons, asked me to share some thoughts in front of 600 of the most proufound influencers in our faith. I only had 3 minutes to speak, so I made the most of... Read more
Ok, so I’m finally admitting to myself (albeit at the end of the trip) that I’m not going to get to updating you with all of the fun stories and moving experiences until I get back home and am on my blogging routine again. I’m sorry I’ve lied to myself and you all for the last few weeks…Drat! 🙁 Good news – I’m now heading to London, as over the next few days I will be speaking to Courage UK (here... Read more

Don’t know how I missed this one either! Guess life goes on when you’re in another country… 🙂 I’m blessed to have read this. The conversation over there is poppin’! Rachel Held Evans wrote this review. I have never met her, but I continue to hear great things about her upcoming book. Holla! Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more
The ever-present and big-time blogger Nicole Wick got a hold of my book, read it, loved it, interviewed me about it (and asked me 2 questions I’ve never been asked before), and out came this! Soooo cool. Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more
Hello everyone! Wow, what a last 2 weeks…and I still have one more to go. I am sooo sorry for not blogging everyday, every other day, or even once a week. Ouch.
