This came up in an email discussion recently and I’d like to process it here for the benefit of many of you whom I know can relate.
My husband and I were talking last night about how “dumb” we feel sometimes because people look to us for systems and plans and we just don’t always have [...]

How hard should we work to restore the house on the rock that’s a hair’s breadth away from becoming dust in the wind? Surely it’s not the rock’s fault? And the owners can’t be blamed for the storms that have pummeled the staid little house for so many years. But when is an extreme home [...]

I have chubby knees, it’s true. I’m a generally slender person but there are few areas that betray me. I’m also generally self confident but chubby knees? Seriously, how can I be confident about chubby knees?!
But the reality is, I need my knees (enter rim shot here). Chubby or not, they are mine and there [...]

I’ve never been there but this is a totally neat video and I love what they’re doing.
and I like this from their about page:

This is one of the best responses/comments regarding emerging and other “progressive” movements within christianity that I have ever read. And the whole post from Deeks in general is very fair. I also want to say that Chuck Smith Jr. gets huge high fives from me.
…it’s inevitable that reform movements appear extreme and off-balance. Of [...]

Really good two posts from the Blind Beggar. First a letter giving us a picture of first and second century Christ followers that is not only interesting but truly revolutionary.

One of the thoughts that emerged from reading the EFC as well as an article and a few blog entries is that it feels to me as though we Christians (generally speaking of course) center our lives and our “ministry” on the Sunday service and anything that comes from that - small groups, bible studies [...]

Hirsch has been posting discussions based off his new book The Forgotten Ways. I read the preview chapter and it was really good. I haven’t been able to order the book yet but hope to very soon as it sounds fantastic.
