Steve Jobs Delivers 3 Life Lessons on Personal Clarity – Will Mancini. Profoundly sad, Steve was one of those visionaries like an Edison or DaVinci that leaves a lasting mark on the world. As I was listening to WJR in Detroit this morning, the commentator was contrasting this commencement address about pursuing vision and one’s […]

Yeah, its a repost from March 2011. While its a little rambling, I try and paint the picture is that there is a global revolution going on in younger generations that involves freedom and creativity that is being powered by social networking and being fought by Boomers who want to stay in control.

Have a little free time tonight, so I’m going to repost the 2011 podcasts iTunes. I’m looking at a couple different new podcasts although recently I have been pondering Facebook, Twitter, and Personal Boundaries. In light of some of the recent NFL player tweets and the problems that has caused and pastors and other community […]

Rachel Held Evans | The Great Disappointment. Once again Rachael does a great job in looking at both the history of the rapture craziness but also a more serious perspective on us who are the vast majority of Christians. I love this line: Like it or not, Harold Camping and his followers make us laugh […]

Well, Lent was certainly interesting and perhaps the most interesting part was the continued debate over Rob Bell’s book, Love Wins. While the press coverage is largely done, the debate among pastor people and religious blogs is continuing. During this season when we remembered Jesus suffering, death, and resurrection, one segment of the church focused […]

This started on Facebook but a running post here on Wired Jesus might make a better venue for discussion, especially considering my next podcast that is in the works is on the larger issue of the evangelical uproar over the book. Rob has not said anything new, as he says, but I would say the […]

Rob Bell and C.S. Lewis (by Jeff Cook) | Jesus Creed. One of the best reflections on this matter by an evangelical and I believe he is spot on when he concludes with this: The debate over Love Wins is not actually a fight only about doctrine. It is about angst caused by different cultures […]

I wrote the transcript for this last week, before the promo release of Rob’s new book, Love Wins. You can see my comments below about the “controversy” about the book but it touches on the problem a segment of the Christian world has with Rob – that he is too easy on sin and hell. […]

Has Your Church Started to Die? | TonyMorganLive.com. A starkly clear appraisal of the established American church and its congregations by Tony Morgan. Its sad and funny, that Boomers would become the generation that does not want to change or give up its preferences or power for emerging generations. However, since they are reluctant to […]
