  • Sunday Seven: Pizza, Metal, Billions

    Starting this week, I’m going to self-conscious rip off Tim Ferriss’ 5-Bullet Friday with my own version. The gist of the idea is that it’s a way for me to share things that I’m enjoying, pondering, or just promoting. Hope you find something interesting! Recipe I’m using: I probably like pizza too much. But, I…

  • Listening Closely Leads to Living Wisely

    In our small group at church we’ve been doing a Hebrews Bible study. Not a Hebrew Bible study mind you, but a study covering the book of Hebrews. This past week, we looked at 5:11-6:12, with a bit of 6:13-20 toward the end. As we were engaged in discussion and study, I noticed a connection between…

  • Sanctified By Grace: A Theology of The Christian Life

    On Monday, I mentioned a new review series I planned to start. While this book is not part of that series, it covers a very similar terrain. Edited by Kent Eilers and Kyle Strobel, Sanctified By Grace: A Theology of The Christian Life is a collection of essays articulating the Christian life “in dogmatic key” (3). If…

  • Metal Monday: August Burns Red | Home Alone Theme

    Once again, August Burns Red has a new Christmas song. This came out a few weeks ago, but I just stumbled across it. That works out because over at Christ and Pop Culture, they are doing a series this week Stations of Home Alone. Rock out here and then head over to read Wade Bearden’s…

    I thought about doing a Christmas edition, but a couple of bands I follow came out with new releases recently, so we’ll get to the Christmas stuff next week. Pomegranate Tiger is the musical project of Martin Andres who plays both the guitars and drums on the newest release, Boundless. You can actually watch him…

  • Music Monday: Maps and Atlases | Everybody Wants to Rule The World

    I discovered these guys when they opened for mewithoutYou on a tour that came through Dallas. If you like syncopated indie rock, check out their older EP’s for sure, and also their most recent album, Fever.

  • Metal Monday: Lee McKinney | Skylasher

  • Scale The Summit: Stolas and Blue Sun (V is out Friday!)

    This Friday, the new album from Scale The Summit comes out. V is aptly named given that it is their fifth studio album. They’ve basically been putting one out every two years or so, which makes this one right on schedule.Below you can see the first two videos from the album.

  • Music Monday: @mewithoutYou in Orlando Last Night

      For the sixth time, I saw mewithoutYou live last night. It was actually full circle last time I saw them because it was in St. Pete were I saw them for the first time on the Tooth & Nail tour in 2004. Last time I saw them was at the last ever Underoath show,…

  • Music Monday: CHON | Live in Austin 2015

    I’ve posted about CHON before, but here they are being legit live. If you can stand some swearing, you should watch this video where they play Fall of Troy songs with Thomas Erak. It might seem a little messy, but they just met the Fall of Troy frontman that day and in the video, you’re…
