Relevant Thinks We’re Relevant!

I got some amazing news today.  Relevant Magazine published my previous post, Attention Shoppers, Beggar on Aisle 3, on their online magazine!   Right now, if you go to the main page, my story is featured in the Life section.  You know, I really don’t think I would’ve had the guts to get this far without…

The Whole World’s About to Change…

My church’s college ministry started a new service this week at the University of Maryland.  The independent student newspaper ran a nice story.  If you are in college, you definitely want to check out The Gathering.  They have services on just about all the major campuses in metro-dc.  Check out their website for more info.

New Year, New Job, New Attitude, New Perspective

Heaven’s Church… what will it look like?

My friend Matt passed along an interesting Washington Post story about a church in Springfield, VA welcoming and embracing Christian traditions from around the world. The article seems fair, although I have never attended a service at the Word of Life Assembly of God church.  What i do appreciate is that Washington, DC is a place where worship…
