God, the Church, and Theology
Trying to understand the ununderstandable
I was speaking with one of our kids from The Bridge today and she asked for help in understanding a Scripture she had picked to share about in The Sanctuary – our weekly youth church gathering.
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say “No” to [...]

Help us design a t-shirt!
We’re working on a t-shirt design for a mission trip that we’re putting together for our youth program during the summer. It’s an inner-city trip (actually all done within our own hometown) so we want it to have an urban feel to it, but we’re also going (at least for now) for a 70’s [...]

Saturday iTunes v10.0
So I’m doing this “Saturday iTunes” entry much later than I normally do… if I do it at all. In fact, it’s so late that it’s almost Sunday as I’m typing this.
Anyway. Today was a good day. I woke up and finished editing down a video that I’ve been working on. [...]
A question of forgiveness
I sometimes… ok, often times… like to ask questions that really challenge or make you think about your faith. For me, at least, it helps me to have a stronger foundation in what I believe because I really have to think out and examine why I believe what I believe and what it means [...]

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes preview for the rules video for Retreat9. Every year, as a way to make things a little fun, we record some kind of humorous take on the rules to present them to the kids once we arrive at the conference center.
