what matters now…
its time to think about things in a new way. given my vantage point on many things i’m not sure our current systems and processes in the church and outside are taking in the realities of just where we are in the Story. One of my favorite authors and contemporary thinkers is seth godin he has an interesting project happening today and i’m doing my small part to push it out to my friends. it’s an interesting concept and one that draws on the value of a larger community. so enjoy…and pass this along to your network. there is much to be done…what matters to you? here’s 70+ voices in just-long-enough essays to get your mind to thinking.
marriage: love and war.
together, my bride melinda and i have been talking alot about marriage. not ours directly, but we have reflected on it, but on the state of marriage in our spiritual community. whether we look at those she and i walk with, students, or even the adults in our small group, it is amazing to us the ongoing assaults that continue to roll towards this blessed state. it seems almost paradoxical that in the midst of a teaching series…40 days of love, that the destruction of love is in every camp in which we walk and live.
it seems very timely that my pal john eldredge and his bride stasi have written a book that takes the message of freedom and offers to the most challenged institution in the world.
together they offer a reminder that marriage is an amazing tension… rich & good and hard . so grateful for them to have taken on this task. the book is due out on december 15th.

story09
spent a few days in the land of lincoln as a participant at story09. it was an amazing couple of days…just to spend some time with our ashland campus pastor kevin rush, jimmy warner the ashland campus worship leader, and a new friend, clint beiri. and then there were many amazing moments over the 48 hours, all of which helped to shape some new understandings of how to communicate more effectively the truths of “the Story.” the event was directed by Ben Arment who is amazingly creative and has an amazing heart. so grateful that he followed his passions and brought together an amazing array of thinkers, writers, artists and poets. the venue itself was the historical paramount theater in downtown aurora, il (on the trip out and back we watched waynes world just to commemorate our travels…party on!).
i was able to connect for the first time with some good “twitter” friends and reconnect with others like lv hanson from catalyst. lv posted some helpful links to the various speakers and their presentations.
the workshops that followed on day two were hosted by pastor scott hodge and his amazing team of volunteers at orchard valley community church. both days were worth the trip in themselves. i’m still processing the two days. more information than i’ve pondered in awhile. one of the most amazing elements was the combination of so many different “artists” of sorts focusing on how to better communicate the Story. plans are already underway for story2010 this is a conference you’ll want to definitely put on your calendar for next year.
