I have seen the word "martyr" used quite a bit this past week. Honest question with that: When does someone become a "martyr"? Asking specifically for Lutherans, but open to any other tradition's definitions.

The Amos reading mentioned drinking wine from bowls and anointing yourself with oil, and I didn't even think to bring up Diddy parties in the sermon until after worship. Andrew Cheyne Scott Swanson , I am sorry that I let you down.

Some days all the punches land, other days you preach garbage but they still celebrate pastor appreciation day. It's all grace, folks. It's all grace.

Here's my annual plea to the lectionary powers that be: Can we please get a 3 year option for Reformation Sunday and not reuse the same readings over and over?

There is something that has to be unnerving about learning that people were willing to pay $21 million dollars just to fire you....

Being a pastor is confusing. In the same day, I am challenged by linguistic artistry, organizational execution, counseling acumen, academic rigor, and a bunch of other skill sets. And yet, it's the best confusion I know.

God is a funny guy. He gives me a sermon I really want to preach on a Sunday when hardly anyone is going to be in church. But Christmas Eve? That thing is going to stink, y'all.
