True facts.

This is so good to remember.

Can you imagine if the church treated gluttony, inhospitality or forgetting the poor with the same intensity and intentionality as how it treats sexual sin? That's what YHWH wants us to do. Ezekiel 16:49–50

This Sunday's sermon: Who (or What) is God? When we say “God”, we assume we’re talking about the same thing. But I'm convinced we're often not. If this God is a specific Person we Christians organize our lives around, then it’s important to know who it is we're trying to know.

Can Biblical Churches be LGBTQ-Friendly? I was honored to chat with the brilliant Dr. Juli Slattery on this topic. There are many challenges to leading a church well, especially when it comes to sexuality. I pray this is helpful (and healing) for many. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chr…

Who (or What) is God? This teaching got some good response. People are hungry for clarity on the identity of the Person Christians call "God." What do we mean by "God"? Why is it so important NOT to assume we are all talking about the same thing? youtube.com/live/GpTbGRjjo…

Mary Magdalene was the first apostle of Jesus. Raised in male-pastor-only culture, I was taught the basic meaning of "apostle" was "sent one." How did I mis John 20:17?—where Mary is literally Jesus' first "sent one" to preach the resurrection, specifically to men.

Our first ever sabbatical starts tomorrow. After 25 years of full time ministry, Sandy and I could not be more thankful to our church, to our elders, and to Jesus for this gift of extended rest and restoration. We look forward to returning to Park Hill church in August! 🤟
