A follower of Jesus. A blessed husband and dad. An unworthy pastor. Loved by my Father. Daily in need of grace. Grateful to be part of Kingdom come.

We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope. (Tim Keller) May we carry on your gospel centered, Jesus exalting and Shalom seeking legacy. See you soon.


Revelation for the Rest of Us will be a game changer for the American Church. Revelation is not meant to be a primer for the end times or a key to decoding the future. It is a guide for dissident disciples to wisely and faithfully follow Jesus until the very end. @scotmcknight

"It's a real moment of maturation to say, 'My time here is short - what can I do the most beautifully?" (George Saunders)


New Year’s Musings - Where did our deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet in the past year? How might we wholeheartedly live into that space in the year to come? (best pondered in community)

"Fools are often in error but never in doubt."


I spent a few days exploring the spectacular Goat Rocks Wilderness Area with some Portland pastor/ministry friends. We laughed, we listened and we played. We tried to figure out how to change the world. Backpacking with people I love is a foretaste of the Kingdom that is coming.

We often live as if our happiness depended on having. But I don't know anyone who is really happy because of what he or she has. True joy, happiness, & inner peace come from the giving of ourselves to others. (Henri Nouwen)


All of us pastors should be continually leading in light of this question - "Does the gospel we preach have a natural tendency to produce disciples to Jesus Christ, or does it just produce more consumers of religious goods and services?" (Dallas Willard)


It might sound strange, but God wants to find us as much, if not more, than we want to find God. (Henri Nouwen)


What is grief if not love persevering? #WandaVision So beautiful. So true.


"What's lost is nothing to what's found, and all the death that ever was, set next to life, would scarcely fill a cup." (Frederick Buechner)


I’ve run out of accolades for Damian Lillard. Are you kidding me? #goblazers #ripcity #dametime

DAME. COLD. BLOODED. 🗡



"There is always light. Only if we are brave enough to see it. There is always light. Only if we are brave enough to be it." (Amanda Gorman)


"I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw." (David Gray) This is a provocatively true line. What might our world look like if more of us dropped our stones to tend to our own messiness? Love the sinner and hate their sin? How about love the sinner and hate our sin?

There are times I have regretted being nice. But I cannot think of even once that I've regretted being kind.


If you must take care that your opinions do not differ in the least from those of the person with whom you are talking, you might just as well be alone. (Yoshida Kenko)


When I am anxious, scared or sad I am finding that poets often give me words I can't seem to unearth. Besides the Psalter I'm relatively new to poetry. I'm discovering I've missed a lot. This poem by @BradAaronModlin is a gift.
