thinking out loud: June 2008

http://thinkingoutloud49.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

Thursday, June 26, 2008. I didn't sleep much on Tuesday evening. My restlessness wasn't caused by anxiety or worry. And while the iced coffee I had at 7 PM may have contributed to it, I really don't think that was the primary reason either. Central to our discussion was the idea of worldview. Is there such a thing as a "Christian worldview? Or might it be better to think about developing and nurturing a biblically faithful worldview? If you are interested, here is a brief description of the conversations.

thinking out loud: The Journey to the Cross

http://thinkingoutloud49.blogspot.com/2009/04/journey-to-cross.html

Friday, April 3, 2009. The Journey to the Cross. This Sunday we enter into the week we call holy. It is a fresh opportunity to enter more deeply into the passion of Jesus - His life, death, and resurrection. This Lent we have invited artists in our community to use their artistic gifts to help each of us and all of us experience anew the reality of Christ's amazing love and sacrifice. The following is my introduction to the Journey and I invite you to reflect upon these words today. Follow me on Twitter.

thinking out loud: Q: Power and Privilege (Andy Crouch)

http://thinkingoutloud49.blogspot.com/2009/05/q-power-and-privilege-andy-crouch.html

Monday, May 4, 2009. Q: Power and Privilege (Andy Crouch). Last week I had the privilege of traveling to Austin, TX and participating in my second Q. Due to a nightmarish travel experience with Northwest and Delta, I missed the morning session of Q and arrived just in time for Andy Crouch's. Afternoon session. Andy is the author of Culture-Making. Andy stated with a great question: "what happens when culture-making actually works? Are there any areas of rent in your life? This is something I am thinking ...

thinking out loud: October 2008

http://thinkingoutloud49.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, October 22, 2008. Let me say straight up - Coldplay is not U2. They are in a sense, U2-light or perhaps U2 wannabes (to the extent they even used U2's producer Brian Eno for their latest collection of songs). And there is nothing really wrong with that. U2 is that good! Coldplay's staging, lighting, and special effects were stunning and in many ways similar to a U2 production. Four guys in the band – hmmm, have we seen this before? Look at earth from outer space. Everyone must find their place.

thinking out loud: July 2008

Wednesday, July 30, 2008. The Core of Leadership - Hope. This week I began reading a new book on leadership. It's written by Nancy Ortberg and is entitled, " Unleashing the Power of Rubber Bands: Lessons in Non-Linear Leadership. This is a different kind of book on leadership. First off, it is written by a woman. Honestly, how many books on leadership on your shelf have been authored by a female? What do you think about Nancy's assertion and thesis? What do you think is at the core of leadership? Last ye...

thinking out loud: The Spirituality of the Cell Phone

http://thinkingoutloud49.blogspot.com/2009/05/spirituality-of-cell-phone.html

Monday, May 11, 2009. The Spirituality of the Cell Phone. When was the last time you turned off your cell phone? Confession time - my cell phone is on 24/7 (during daylight hours my phone is set to vibrate and the ringer is on during the night). Now I do have a a very good reason why I do not turn off my phone. I am a pastor and keeping my cell phone on provides my congregation 24/7 access to me; and isn't that what being a pastor is all about? What does it mean to be God-like (created in the imago dei.

Sunday, February 22, 2009. Album as Art-Form: A Sonic Feast. Is there an album that you experience in this way? Another art form where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts? I would love to hear your thoughts? Friday, February 20, 2009. Put on Your Boots. I am so grateful to be a part of a community that is willing to roll up its sleeves, take up the towel, put on their boots and muck it up in the name and Spirit of Jesus. If you would join me in prayer, lifting them up before the Father ask...
