This month we have tackled some of my favorite parables that Jesus tells. The Good Samaritan is a beautiful story about this guy who should not in any sort of way been a hero becoming…
I don’t really follow Twitter accounts. I find them annoying and usually uninformative. There are very few people in this world that I want to have minute by minute updates on their lives and none…
In an effort to make my life even more organized online I am in the process of migrating this blog over to WordPress. When I first started this site I didn’t even know what a…
I follow politics very little, so my views are probably tainted and not worth reading. However, I’m tired of Obama already. He isn’t even president yet and we’ve already seen the tears, songs, crazy expensive…
This is just wild. (ht) It’s like Jesus is saying “hey, look I know it’s supposed to cost you something to go where no one else will go, but here I’ll make it easy for…
I’m not a big book reader. I do my best, and when I find a good book it’s difficult to put it down, but I am far from considering myself well read. But this past…
So I made a movie a few months back called Ugly Lights, with two friends. Mark Tetreault and Michael Higgins. While I have taken a break from moving making for the time being (but not…
Rachel and I have been married for a year and a half now. It was agreed upon that she was going to change her last name to mine, with no force on my behalf added…
The kids at theStory put together a quick video for the Christmas Eve service, it was well received and hilarious (probably mostly because they are our kids.) Joe’s documentary was in the Observer today. A…
The Bible & Homosexuality: Enough with the Bible Already Kinnon on Keller on Fitch on Kimball on Missional Growth? I really enjoyed this issue of Geez that just came out. Phil Nellis has a bunch…
This is the message I gave on Sunday. I started off reading a very specific prayer. The prayer I read. God we thank-you that we are saved, and redeemed by your blood. We thank-you that…
I wrote this post after which gives some more thoughts on the matter. The Revolution (Church/Body of Christ) Will Not Be Funded Since starting theStory Joe, Darryl and I have wrestled a lot with the…
A good friend of mine makes her own Jewelery. It looks pretty sweet and if you ask me a great present for someone for Christmas and your helping out artists (she’s from Guelph). So buy…
Finally, the documentary has been shot, edited and completed. It is called One Size Fits All. It is now in the hands of the printers to be shipped here for December 3. For the last…
Buy Nothing Day – I’ll be participating. I Was Never ‘Called’ to Journey Alongside of Poor People – I’ve heard that excuse a million times. Brilliantly written, especially the intro. It’s about security. (ht) Great…
Every year it seems to be a tradition for me to write some posts hating on and ranting on Christmas. Here is the posts from previous years. I’m sure I’ll write about something in the…
This past weekend Rachel and I took off to go see the screening of Ordinary Radicals (trailer below) in Toronto at the Bloor Cinema. I was pleasantly impressed by the film. Great story-telling. Beautiful perspective….
Last weekend at Cultivate I sat on a panel about Innovation. So naturally I let my mind wander for a little while on what innovation is and more importantly am I innovative? I could have…
Joe found this site so we are going to Evernote a try. It collects and remembers everything for you and its best feature is probably the image to text recognition, so it will along everything…
