  • Think What You Want to Think and Other Things Pastors Aren’t Supposed to Say

    As I said in the video, I feel like this blog was a long time coming.  Since I accepted the “call to ministry”, I have wrestled with different ways that I naturally express myself.  Here are four things that easily came out of my mouth that made me think I was unqualified for public ministry:…

  • Where Does All the Evil Go?

    When I decided to accept the teaching of Jesus’ lineage as a Spiritual practice, I knew what I was getting myself into.  I grew up Christian so I know how easy it can be to go to church on Sunday and have an emotional or mental release only to turn right back around on Monday…

  • The Reality of Diversity and Illusion

    Have you ever wondered why–in almost every environment–conversations and programs around diversity and inclusion are so difficult?  Why is it that despite efforts to make organizations more diverse, there seems to be little to no substantial development where it really counts?  Well, if you watched the above video, you know what my take is.  I…

  • The Future Is Full of Problems

    Recently I have been having a difficult time because everyone knows that I am about to graduate from seminary and they keep asking me what I am going to do when I graduate.  No one wants to hear the truth, which is that I don’t know.  They are asking me about a future that I…

  • The Better Part

    Jesus Visits Martha and Mary (From Luke 10) 38 Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. 39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to what he was saying. 40 But Martha was distracted by her many tasks;…

  • Abundance is Reality

    Warning:  If none of what I say in this post makes sense, then you probably read it correctly. What I am attempting to convey in this post can only be understood from the place of absolute inclusion–total Oneness, nothing left out. These words stand on the foundation that God is giving everything to everything and…

  • Even the Darkness Shines

    Have you ever opened your mouth only to quickly realize that you are choking on your own toes?  Well I did that the other day and it was great.  Obviously it was in retrospect that I realized the greatness that I am talking about–a greatness that only comes with an acceptance of God’s grace.  I…

  • Never Eat Your Own Puke

    It doesn’t matter if you are not into Christianity, Judaism, or any of the other religions out there, you should do yourself a favor and at least read Proverbs from the Hebrew Bible.  Solomon is definitely on his game here.  There is so much wisdom there about life and how we function as humans.  It’s…

  • What Is God Doing?

    My kid and I were in the car one day just chatting about one thing or the other when all of a sudden and totally out of context she asked, “What is God doing?”  My response was immediate and to the point.  It came from an unlearned knowing that was as natural to my mind…

  • We Are All Full of IT

    Have you ever watched one of those movies like The Matrix where the characters find out the world isn’t real and thought to yourself, “Hey, how do I know if my world is real?” I know I have and I have come to the conclusion that it isn’t real.  Now as far as I know, I am not living my…
