A New Year, A New Direction

NewImage

Although we’re already almost a month into the new year, I’m just now getting my ducks around the blogosphere.  Looking back, I focused a great deal of time and attention on the practical aspects of missional communities.  

In this coming year, I’m going to continue writing content in the theological, philosophical and practical world of missional communities, but also want to expand the conversation here into broader issues of ecclesiology and leadership.

As far as topics go, here are some things I’ll be writing on:

  • Covenant Membership in the Church
  • Church Discipline
  • A Theology of the Church
  • Practical Issues on Hiring and Interviewing
  • Team and Culture Development

If there are things you’d be interested in hearing about, go ahead and post them here in the comments!

Although I was raised in the church and had a knowledge of God, I didn’t embrace Jesus until I heard gospel preached and lived out by some Young Life leaders. God has proven faithful and good to me since that day, even in great suffering and loss. I have learned to treasure Romans 8:28 as a wellspring of hope and truth.

God has blessed me with an amazing wife (Olivia), three sons (Micah, Hudson and Owen) and a daughter (Emmaline). Growing up in the northwest, the thought never crossed my mind that I would have four children who are native Texans. Despite landing in the south, I still watch Notre Dame games with my children every Saturday in hopes they will land at my alma mater.
