Relating faith to everyday life.
This excerpt is from the introduction of my new book, Luke: Jesus and the Outsiders, Outcasts, and Outlaws. I hope you enjoy it as you look ahead to celebrating the season of Lent and planning a Lenten study in your own congregation.
Worship, Study, Serve, Give and Share: I challenge you to a simple, achievable, measurable, and specific goal using your fingers to remember.
It has never been easier to share our faith with more people, yet we’re often hesitant to do it. Why is that?
Just as we were made to practice generosity together, in community, God also means for it to be a part of the daily rhythm of our lives.
Our primary way of knowing Jesus is through the New Testament, and most clearly and directly through the Gospels.
Worship—and with it, prayer—is the first of the five spiritual practices essential to growing and maturing in our Christian walk.
During the next six weeks leading up to Lent, I’ll be sharing excerpts from my new book, "The Walk," here on the blog.
My hope is that the next United Methodism removes the language and policies that exclude, harm, or alienate LGBTQ persons.
