Before I was a leader here at Lincoln Young Life I was a leader at Swift Creek Middle School. I was once hanging out with the other leaders on that team and we were all going around a circle telling each other what we thought each individual's spiritual gifts were. When the rotation came to … Continue reading The Impossible God (Young Life Talk)
As a major in Religion I had heard it all. That my beliefs were false. That you'd be silly to believe in this. The archaeological evidence that disproved a certain story. The contradictions within a text that is without error. The other cultures that our "Genesis" pulls from. Any deep study of the Bible will … Continue reading The Lonely Christians
Today is December 16th, 2014. In just a few hours my ticket stub will be torn and I will enter theater 19 at AMC to watch the final chapter of the Middle Earth saga. A journey that took root thirteen years ago in the very same theater. I was just a little kid then. I … Continue reading Why I Love: The Lord of the Rings
This rock we call home is against us. It is broken. It is darkness. It is the ongoing calamity that throws punches at each and every single one of us. And at one point or another we all will lose in that fight. For some of us, this loss feels like the most lonely … Continue reading An open letter to those who have the world against them.
Since this is one of my lengthier posts (uh oh RED FLAG RIGHT THERE "I'm out.") I've decided to try and split this up into a few sections. (Eh...maybe I can deal with that.) Understand my ultimate audience in most of these is...me. Yet my goal is to write in such a way that you … Continue reading Who has the keys? (A post on Christian conformity)

If you've read any of the last posts of mine you would gather that I've been restyling with the diversity and often divisiveness of this huge group of people called the church. At … Continue reading A forgotten thought…
10. YEARS. 10. ENTIRE YEARS my brain has committed to the 121 episodes of what is WITHOUT ARGUE the greatest TV show of all time. And I mean it. I love this TV show more than pretty much any movie or book. I've even gone so far as to say it is my favorite story … Continue reading ‘Lost’ talk
This song is definitely a work in progress. Maybe I'll trash the whole things after I see its own faults. But it was a combination of things today. One: I found a riff that I liked enough. Two: Saw some street preachers I know once again damning Harry Potter while allowing very similar content … Continue reading “Calm These Waves”
Some years ago after hearing this song it started to tell a story in my head. I don't really know how it came there or how it evolved into this. As I listened to the song it turned into the death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ from the disciples perspective. I was listening to a … Continue reading “After The Storm” music video.
This will be hard to write without Spoilers but as my intent is to hopefully get people who have never seen the show to watch it, to sit down and watch what I regard a six season Masterpiece, I will do what I can and avoid any freakish spoilers of this show. Perhaps I will … Continue reading Why I Love: LOST
