I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the RSA Animate films; they are brilliant. They somehow manage to take highly intellectual lectures and turn them into enjoyable 10 minute sessions of learning. By drawing and…

Joe’s documentary, One Size Fits All? is online now in it’s entirety. The DVD’s are all sold out and so we thought it would be generous to offer it to everyone. Here it all is…

Since I’ve been married, I have tried to explain to Rachel why I am so brilliant. I say, “listen, I am an idiot, and you are brilliant, but you married me, so that makes you…

This is my contribution to the Eighth Letter conference we are running coming up in October. Thanks to Rachel for organizing a Syncroblog of all the letters. To The Church in North America It’s odd…

Of all the commandments of Jesus, the one that I see as most revolutionary is the one to love your enemies. Not only is the idea of loving enemies a hard one, it’s completely foreign…

It keeps us from turning commands found there into isolated rules of principles that are assumed to have special status because they are in the Bible. Rather is proposes that Christians (and we hope others)…

I’m reading this book right now called Mistakes were Made but not by Me and it is changing the way I interact with people and view them from a distance. We can be quick to…

I love Lost. As most of you know I was a bit disappointed that it was all over and especially the way the writers ended everything, but nevertheless, it was still great writing and television….

The following is a conversation that happened on my Facebook Wall a few weeks ago. Ralph is a worship pastor at the large Baptist church in Sarnia, and we tend to go back and forth…

I am learning the art of attacking systems. I don’t want to just point them out and walk around with a sign that makes catchy insults about them. I don’t want to just blog about…

It’s good when people try their best to redeem our consistent need to have the best brands.  Brands drive me nuts.  So crazy that I have gone out of my way to not buy things…
