a different perspective from alan hartung on the emerging church, politics, faith, and life
Along with Jason Clark, I’ve struggled with the relationship with the gifts of the Spirit and new structures for the local church.
My background includes both the Assemblies of God and the Vineyard. The former has had some interest in emerging models for Church, especially in the AGTS (Earl Creps). The latter, surprisingly, has really been [...]

iTunes 4.9 came out, and it spurred me into action. At least partial action.
I’m still working on the Human Sexuality podcast. It’s been a bit more complex then I expected.
But, a friend told me I was third under Christianity in the new iTunes podcast directory… so I thought I better get something up. Seeing how [...]
As Will Samson put it, it is time for George Bush to apologize. The administration, if not Bush himself, misled the American people about Iraq. But the greater question for me, did Bush know about the torture at gitmo and elsewhere?
If he did, I will be satisfied with nothing less than impeachment. That sounds strong, [...]
This is unfathomable to me. Really.
The sad thing is, I doubt this will get any sustained or prominent media attention.
Evidently, local city officials can now decide to seize your home if they believe a private development project will better the city. Eminent domain, my ass. Small communities could easily be bought off by wealthy developers [...]

My supreme dating rule: No drama in the first 30 days
If you can’t experience at least one month of naive bliss… the relationship is doomed.
Okay, so maybe I’m a little fatalistic. But seriously, if you have problems before you even really know the person at all, that’s a huge red flag that in 99.9% of [...]
After just two weeks of a new cell phone service (Verizon), I can say that I am amazed at this new invention where I can talk to people virtually anywhere I go…
You see, I had AT&T and Cingular for five years… I continually had awful service. I reached the final straw a few weeks ago, [...]
While I still consider Venice to be home, I’m in Anaheim for at least the next three months. Really, it’s a pretty good place for me to be all things considered. I’m living with some friends who run a theater company I’ve performed with several times, and I’m going to understudy a role in Cabaret. [...]
I’m working on my next podcast, “Human Sexuality.” A long time ago, in a web site far, far… okay, it was this website, but it feels like a long time ago, I polled you all and Human Sexuality was the number two choice for a podcast topic. I decided to do number 1 and [...]
