Today I had a great conversation with a few local pastors about the current state of discipleship in the American church.  We talked about the need for commitment from those within the church, which is very true.  If a person doesn’t ever commit to anything, how can they ever expect to grow spiritually?

With this post I’m going to be starting a series on blogging.  It’s become the ‘In’ thing to do these days, but I think there is a real benefit to blogging besides just ‘looking cool.’  I really knew blogging had arrived when my friend Ben started thinking about starting a blog (maybe some day!). But [...]
