I’ve been wanting to put together a little bit more "me" design for the blog. Here it is, hope you like it. I like the color brown, so yeah, I used it.

In the beginning of his chapter on responding to Jesus’ message, Brian McLaren includes a very important and, to me, a clear calling the speaks to the way my faith is being shaped right now. I thought it would be important to share this snippet.
"The first move is to hear from the heart and to [...]

Ok, I’m sure you either already knew that or you’re saying "shut up Seth, no you’re not." Whatever you think, I found out yesterday that someone actually appreciates brilliance such as mine!
As I’ve been working on developing our creative meeting space, Room2Think, for work, I’ve been in touch with a lot of people in the [...]

I’m working through "The Secret Message of Jesus" right now (review
forthcoming!) and all this talk about the Kingdom of God has gotten me
going. I decided, after reading a bit at the coffee shop this evening,

I’m very pleasantly surprised. It’s pretty standard pop, but with [...]

Brian McLaren’s new book, The Secret Message of Jesus, came out at the beginning of the month. If you’re currently reading it, as I am, or are interested in checking it out, you should check out McLaren’s website and grab the Secret Message study guide. While I’m not much of a guided study kind of [...]

Funny how the smallest things can shape our days. Today, unfortunately, it was only a single letter. We got back some brochures from the printer today, announcing the new business I’m marketing, only to find the following headline in the text: "Reserve You Next Meeting." (Ahh, if only the letter ‘r’ had decided to join [...]

What constitutes a person’s "calling"? How do we answer the question, "Where am I supposed to be?"
