Lutheran Songs Today – Vol. 2 Released!

At the beginning of this year I wrote an article for our denominational magazine, The Lutheran, about a new set of song books by my friend, Eric Wefald. Like many mainline denominations, we have a difficult time getting our groove on in worship with anything that was written after the 19th Century. This [...]

Wired Jesus Podcast #53 – Review of Your Church Is Too Small

This is a first – a book review. Wired Jesus has been largely about the net but as we have all seen in the last five years, the distinctions have disappeared and nearly everything points back to the web anymore. Your Church Is Too Small is a book that speaks to me and [...]

Shoes of the Fisherman

As I finish posting Podcast #8, I’m home sick watching The Shoes of the Fisherman (1968) starring Anthony Quinn on Turner Classic Movies. I figured someone would pull this old gem of a movie out after John Paul II died. Not only does it give a good view of what happens whenever a [...]

Wired Jesus Podcast #3 – Welcome to Ginkworld

I planned on posting this Thursday but got sidetracked until tonight. Welcome To Ginkworld is an introduction to the christian postmodern site ginkworld.net, my current homepage when I boot up Firefox.
