Almost Heaven
Exploring the intersection of sacred and secular. I discovered something kind of wonderful, my daughter likes some of my music — at least the songs she doesn’t call “old and tired” — she’s seven, y’all. Country Road During this end-of-summer lull between camp and school, our membership to Davis Farmland has been pretty…

This One Time, it’s All About You
Exploring the intersection of sacred and secular. It’s not about you! If you’d just get your head out of your ass and worry about others, you could do some great things.  This is not only one of the most helpful pieces of pastoral advice I ever received, but it’s probably the most important piece…

The Powers That Be
Exploring the intersection of sacred and secular. Last week, I wrote about a type of powerful healing that — despite being accessible to us all, feels all-too-rare — the healing that comes from loving ourselves and others.

The Games We Play
Exploring the intersection of sacred and secular. Reflecting on human nature is kind of my thing, and it always has been. This is part of what drew me to study the Bible — it’s a massive anthology of humanity at its best and hot-messiest. It’s also what made me mildly obsessed with the Enlightenment. …

Calling & Character
Exploring the intersection of sacred and secular. Retired theologian and UMC bishop, William Willomon, wrote a book by this title that I read around the time I went to seminary. I can’t remember much of it after all these years other than this: we must answer our calling with the entirety of self.  …
