There and Back Again 2009

This year I led the Mission Trip to Mexico. It was an amazing/awesome/

Reality Check

I’m Bringin’ Servin’ Back

One was on Dave Ferguson’s blog, and the other is from the SCL blog. I’m posting both for your enjoyment. (If you [...]

Intellectual Life as a Christian Calling

In my Christian Worldview class, we are currently reading Habits of the Mind by James W. Sire, and the subtitle is “Intellectual Life as a Christian Calling.” Today at CRIBS we discussed the elephant in the room that is politics in the church, and I feel that we had a good discussion. [...]
