Animals As Leaders
[This post is part of the College: Alphabetized by Album series] While most of these posts have gone back a few years into my college experience, this one only goes back a few months. I first stumbled onto Animals As Leaders this past spring and was quickly listening to their album on repeat while I…

Adventures in Psychology
This series was actually started a while ago and then had to be abandoned to give its conceptual territory in my thinking while I focused on finishing my last year of seminary. With that completed now, I am planning to resume this series and work through a few books, specifically Psychology and Christianity: Five Views. The…

Evangelical and Catholic
The evangelical unity of the church is compatible with a catholic diversity. To say that theology must be catholic, then, is to affirm the necessity of involving the whole church in the project of theology. No single denomination “owns” catholicity: catholicity is no more the exclusive domain of the Roman Church than the gospel is…

Road Trips to Tampa and Wedding in Louisville
Here’s some Instagrams I took this week for your viewing pleasure: These last three are from here in Knoxville (well, technically Sevierville) from a quick trip up there a few hours ago. Here in just a little while, we’re heading back down to Florida after a great weekend celebrating my friends Todd and Megan’s wedding.…

Perspectives on Triperspectivalism
This series is derived from the research for my thesis, which structurally and conceptually relied heavily on John Frame’s triperspectivalism. I found though that this kind of thinking has numerous applications outside where Frame has made it and where I made it (film) and so this series is exploring those different vistas. So far we’ve…

College: Alphabetized By Album
This series sprung from my reflection on my time in college as it has now come to an end. I decided to order my thoughts through my iTunes library and move alphabetically by album title (hence the series) title to achieve an ordered, but non-linear approach. Here’s the posts so far: Mae: (a)fternoon The Working…

Revamping Christian Worship
This series was started right after my last year of seminary got underway, and then was quickly abandoned when most of my spare thoughts were redirected to my thesis. I’d like to spend some time thinking through the issues surrounding how we worship through song in church. Having been actively involved in that for the…

The Dangers of Drama
It is the unique privilege and responsibility of the people of God to perform the Scripture and continue the way. Indeed, the church constitutes a socially embodied, ongoing argument that claims God is good to and for humanity. The church’s lived interpretation of Scripture inevitably partakes of both gospel and culture, however. This is one…

Reshaping Christian Habits Table of Contents
As mentioned earlier, I’m migrating series descriptions and listing of the posts to their own post. In that spirit, here’s what you need to know about the Reshaping Christian Habits series: This came about as part of something I am promoting for additional income here in Florida called the 90-day challenge. I liked their concept as…

The King Jesus Gospel
Scot McKnight is the Karl A. Olsson professor in religious studies at North Park University in Chicago. He blogs regularly at Jesus Creed. This is the first book of his I’ve read and I’d like to say I’m inclined to check out some of his other books. In our preaching class, one of the methods for…
