I love to express what I feel called to say. Writing helps me to open up my heart and do that. I hope that what I write helps you in some way. I hope it makes you think, encourages you, or inspires you. If it challenges you or if you disagree, I hope you know that I respect your right to have a different point of view.
The best advice I’ve ever received came from Mary, the mother of Jesus. She told a group of people: “Whatever He (Jesus) says to you, do it.”
Mary’s advice is often stated as “Just do it.” Unfortunately, our society likes to leave Jesus out of our thinking. However, for me, life doesn’t go well if I “just do” whatever I desire. I’m much happier if I stay aware of Jesus and do what He prompts me to do. He often uses my conscience to nudge me along, so I try to closely listen to and obey it.
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 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 in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia."
