Why a Personal Blog?
This blog is an attempt to think about Christianity in a manner that provides a deeper meaning for us average folk.
Please join in the conversation. Share your thoughts. The more voices, the stronger our chances of learning something meaningful.
The ideas I kick around
Personal Growth
Content within this section is focused on the deep and the practical side of your own adventure. We often are our own worst enemies and these articles will help you sort out what is going on within you with a Biblical lens.
Biblical Thinking
Articles posted in this category help us to understand Biblical texts and concepts that we think are important. These cover misconceptions but also just good insight that is worth mentioning.
Culture
This contains content that is focused on Christian culture but also the culture that surrounds us. It helps us frame where the dividing lines are and how to best engage the cultures around us for maximum effect.
Other
Notes are a brain dump of things I want to keep on top of. There’s also the Letterbook which is where I post some prose. We also have the Whereabouts, which details small or large aspects of life that are happening to me and my family.
