Well, it’s happening yet again, we are tackling our fourth conference in the last five years. This one is called The Evolving Church: Kingdom Economy and it’s on April 10, 2010 at People’s Church in…
Sarnia fanatical and conservative Christians seem to have a really large voice in Sarnia. It is unfortunate, because more times than not, I along with us at theStory, will get lumped in with all their…
Lately I was shown a status update on someone’s Facebook that said “Just got back from feeding the poor, feeling great, I was created for this.” I am positive, that if I was following the…
For some time now I have found that in many discussions have ended over and over again with being accused of being too idealistic or unrealistic. I find this hard to swallow. Are we not…
Dan and I have stumbled across a few videos lately that at a first watching thought we were watching a joke. To our dismay, we found out they were real; as in these people were…
After reading through Andy Crouch’s talk on practices and purchases, and wrestling with some ideas surrounding church planting, I’m beginning to see a major dichotomy that I hadn’t seen before. The split is now glaringly…

I was able to make it to the morning block of films for the Bluewater Film Festival. Ugly Lights was shown in this block along with a few other great films. Here is an article…
I’m doing a message on hell tomorrow, and it’s just very difficult to come to any sort of conclusion on this topic. I’ll post my message next week, but in the meantime, here are some…
Rachel and I bought an ebike at the beginning of last summer. It was her idea to get it, but it basically ended up being mine because I used it as our second vehicle the…
This guy is awesome. Sort of reminds me of the experiments I read about that Shaine Claiborne did. I’ve always wondered how to successfully get entire groups of people thinking outside the box and challenge…
I thought this dream was over. Apparently not. Ugly Lights (you know that movie I made with a few downtown folk almost two years ago) has got accepted into the Blue Water Film Festival in…
Richard Rohr was on CBC’s Tapestry yesturday. It was an excellent interview, and he really got me thinking. This whole thing on non-dual thinking really resonated with me. It is sort of along the same…
