- Introduction:
- "I am a stay-at-home dad and pastor/teacher on sabbatical with an MA in ministry leadership from IWU where I was introduced to the post-modern phenomena and emerging Christian responses. I have fallen in love with the ensuing conversation and praxis."
- What are some things that you know "a little something" about?
- "Living with with chronic health challenges; raising kids; being a pastor in small rural churches; teaching middle school students; coping with depression; enjoying passionate worship; struggling to practice the spiritual disciplines; owning more books than I'll ever have time to read"
- Where do you go when you want to be spiritually challenged/encouraged?
- "Challenged in every way at home; encouraged by friends"
- What book(s) have most helped shape your independent Christian thinking?
- "Stages of Faith by James Fowler, Social Sources of Denominationalism by H. R. Niebuhr, The Road Less Traveled by Scott Peck, The Wounded Healer by Henri Nouwen, Soul Tsunami by Leonard Sweet, Exploring the Worship Spectrum edited by Paul Engle and Paul Basden, Postmodern Youth Ministry by Tony Jones, Primer on Postmodernism by Stanley Grenz, Younger Evangelicals by Roberty Webber, and most recently: The Last Word and the Word After That by Brian McLaren"
- Additional information:
- "The most challenging but freeing thing I am learning in the emergent community is how often I have made misjudgements and bad choices based on presumptions."
