I want God to ignite my words with a match made in Heaven so that they burn in the heart of everyone who reads them or hears them, making them a furnace that spreads God’s warmth and light around the world.
People don’t like to talk about racism, so I made up another word we can use — race-schism. I define it as: The belief (whether conscious or unconscious) that people are different because of skin color.
I recently wrote a book about race in America. Much of the response to it has shown me that even today, society expects people not to express their grief and pain over America’s racist past. Race schism is still producing deep color-based divisions in society.

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I co-lead a non-traditional expression of the body of Christ in Nashville based on open participation and Spirit-led sharing. We long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia" that is available in Kindle & paperback @ http://amzn.to/2nCr5dP
