The Monday Minute: Time to de-lurkify yourself Announcements, Authenticity, Geeky, Monday Minute, Musings | (9)
Alright all you lurkers, I know you're out there. It's time to step up and introduce yourselves. According to my glance at my stats—as of this writing—there are 110 feed subscribers, a handful of email subscribers, and an average of daily hit count between 160-180. Who are you? Please comment and introduce yourself, and tell me why you read this blog. What draws you to the drivel I write on a semi-regular basis? Are there some things you'd like to see more/less of? I truly believe all blogs are better when they become two-way conversations. Add your voice.

Turn about is fair play… Announcements, Authenticity, Music, Musings, Worship, Worship Leader Wednesday | (1)
I've been doing interviews sporadically here on my blog for a few months, and now someone actually thought it was worth interviewing me in return. Hit the logo in the post and head on over to the The Worship Journals for my answers to their 5Questions series of interviews. Thanks to Conrad Abraham for the interview.

WLW Announcement Announcements, Worship, Worship Leader Wednesday | (3)
I've had a few inquiries about whether or not the worship leader interviews are going to continue. Never fear, another round of interviews is being prepped, and will will debut in the next couple of weeks. If you are a worship leader (in any capacity, whether full-time/part-time/volunteer), and would be willing to be interviewed in a future edition of Worship Leader Wednesday, please leave a comment. Thanks as always for reading.

The Monday Minute: We the Church Announcements, Authenticity, Featured, Geeky, Monday Minute, Musings, Resources, Worship | (1)
I know the Monday Minute usually happens earlier in the day, but this is a special occasion. I wanted to wait until today's feature had officially launched before spotlighting it. We the Church is the brain child of fellow blogger Chad Wright, and was produced in partnership with another blogger Scott Magdalein. I was privileged to be one of their beta testers, and this is one of the best things I've ever seen come out of the internet. What is We the Church? Imagine prayer requests and praise reports being shared in a Twitter-like fashion. We the Church exists solely for the ...

Worship Leader Wednesday: The Totally Off-track Edition Announcements, Music, Worship, Worship Leader Wednesday, Worship Theology | (2)
Hey everyone. I'm going to have to apologize, but due to the incredibly slammed week I had last week, I don't have part 2 of Jamey's interview in the can yet. We've chatted via email, and plan to have the second half up next week, so again, I apologize for the delay. In order to not leave you completely hanging, why don't you check out some of the previous interviews you might have missed in the past? Below are links to all the worship leader interviews conducted so far. Hopefully, I'll be back on track next week. Worship Leader Wednesday Interviews Terry Foester, ...

Help me win a date with my wife Announcements, Geeky, Humor, Musings | (0)
No, my wife's not having a contest to make me earn the right to have dinner with her, we've been entered in a blog contest. My wife recently entered us in an online contest called Love GenX Style hosted by Tricia Goyer, one of the (homeschooling) Christian authors that she likes to read. The winner of the contest gets dinner out with their spouse (woohoo—free food!). The contest rules required that she post the story on her blog of how we met and “fell in love,” but now it’s up to everyone else to vote for our story! All you need to do ...

The Monday Minute: Link Love Announcements, Geeky, Monday Minute | (12)
This week's Monday Minute is all about love. Link love. This is pure, unadulterated, shameless self-promotion. You get to promote yourself here by helping promote me. I'm trying out the Mr. Linky thing, so here's how we'll do this. If you are a regular, semi-regular, or new reader of this blog, and you've gotten one iota of value out of something here, I'm asking for a link. Place a link to me in your blogroll, and then hit up Mr. Linky below and link to your own blog. It's immediate gratification. I get a link, and you get one via Mr. ...

My Bible Journey: Week of March 30, 2008 Announcements, Authenticity, Humor, Musings, Worship, Worship Leader Wednesday, Worship Theology | (0)
photo credit: J. Mark Bertrand Deuteronomy 13 = A good warning for us today. We see among us all those preaching a different Gospel than the one Christ spoke. They are following a different god. Just because they look good and act friendly and normal, doesn't mean they are correct in their belief. 14:1 = This is in answer to both Egyptian and Canaanite practices. God wanted His people He had chosen to stand out among the people surrounding them. 14:3-21 = Another list of stuff we don't really worry about anymore? Why? Partly because of grace—we are no longer under the ...

I’m wondering what else we can do Announcements, Featured, Humor, Musings, Reviews, Uncategorized | (10)
I’ve been doing this blogging thing for a few years now (my old blogger account says since early 2001), and I’m increasingly seeing the power of online community. I know that this is not new to the vast majority of readers out there, but the whole blogging/facebook/twitter/etc. paradigm is really starting to rock my world. The more I network with other church leaders out there, the less I am satisfied with how things are, in many areas. I’m discontented with my own relationship with Christ, and want to be closer than ever before. I’m looking for ways to really set my ...

A change of direction… Announcements, Authenticity, Featured, Humor, Musings | (4)
After much consideration, I've determined I've been focusing my time and passion on the wrong calling. I love food. Eating it, smelling it, looking at it, sometimes even making it. I'll be shutting down this blog sometime soon and shifting to a new endeavor: Consuming Food Look for more information here soon.
