Just in time to end the year, a new podcast. Its a little different from some podcasts in that it has less to do with any specific site on the web and more to do with what I see as the transitions going on in the world, generations, and in the church. As I say […]

Well, I finally sat down and got a podcast out. Its my reflections on how Christians have this tendency to separate people out as the right sort and wrong sort, saints and sinners, saved and fallen, and then keep to themselves. Its this strange twist that forgets that Jesus hung around the social outcasts, not […]

Finally, a new podcast. What sparked it was some of the positive experiences I have had with congregations and change in recent months but the reality that most have become what Len Sweet calls “Bastions of Boredom.” Bastions Of Boredom from The Work Of The People on Vimeo. This great video done by Work of […]

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 I think […]

Once again tragedy strikes, the question is asked “Why?”, and people start saying stupid things to find some cause or person to blame. It tends to follow the same pattern as it has for eons: something hugely bad has happened, so God must known; God must have allowed or inflicted it for some reason; the […]

Finally, podcast #50 is posted to start a new year, making five years of podcasting. Hard to believe. In this episode I reflect on the impact of social networking on how we form relationships and the generational gulf between the Boomer emphasis on information/communication and the hunger for authentic relationships by emerging generations. I have […]

In the midst of a funeral, community fundraiser, and the general church stuff, I have been able to figure out one thing – Itunes is still talking to Wired Jesus. While my old subscription in Itunes isn’t updating, I resubscribed and all the previous podcasts reappeared in the podcast menu where you can get any […]

It appears that Itunes no longer is listing current podcast library. I’m going to do a couple of test uploads to see if it will re-seed the feed or if something else is going on. I know it has been 8 weeks since my last podcast – sadly I have let the busyness of life […]

Here is a new podcast I’ved called I AM, We Are – play on the the Hebrew name of of God and the nature of being a discipling community, the Church. I begin with my recent confirmation camp experience, painting a picture of the faith journey of millenials out of an exercise one of the […]
