Yes, at long last, an actual new podcast for the new year. While I give you an update on what’s been up in my life and how that has unfortunately sidetracked Wired Jesus way too much, I also reflect on Brad Stine and Godmen. In a nutshell, Godmen seems to be a postmodern version of […]

Well, I’m back from Florida and now deep in the final prep for our U2 Eucharist. Despite what you may have read via Reuters, the first live U2 Eucharist will not be in London in May but here in Chicago this Sunday. One thing that has struck me since the gathering and in being interviewed […]

Our denominational leadership asked me to do an article on podcasting to help pastors and church leaders better understand this “new” medium. I remember when I first proposed this article about a year ago, corporations weren’t interested and it was fairly wide open with all kinds of individuals going in every direction possible.

Living next door to Wheaton, IL, the “official” town with the most churches per capita in the US, this little story caught me by surprise. “They are not the words one expects to hear from a politician or a Southerner, and Leonard Scarcella is both: “Our city has an excessive number of churches.” Scarcella is […]

Every now and then I try and float articles that try help pastors and others in the church better understand the challenges of postmoderns and faith.

If you haven’t found Andrew Jones’ blog TallSkinnyKiwi, you are missing out on one of the more articulate and good humored pastors out there who get the whole postmodern/emergent thing that I try and do here. If you are one of the church leaders who listen to Wired Jesus, you need to check out this […]

Yes, I’m back and the explanation is on the podcast. Let’s just say life got busy and unpleasant for a bit but things are much improved. Hopefully my podcasting time will improve as well. While the Soundtrack to Life podcast is still coming, because of a personal experience and recent Evil Genius Chronicles, I’m wandering […]

Here is podcast #20 and I think I’m starting to get the hang of this. This original posting is pretty bare bones and without the show notes – have a friend flying in from Florida and just got back from a 4th Grade soccer players got injuried and ended up in the ER. Life catches […]

A good friend and martini master sent me this profound observation from the Orlando Weekly, the sunny locale he has recently retired to although is his attitude and energy is that of a 30 year old – completely pomo. Who up for a night on the town with Jesus and a nice cuban cigar? Make […]
