Meredee and I have been taking part in the Alpha Course at Eugene Christian Fellowship for the last couple months. The course is a “Christianity 101″ if you will and covers the basic tenants of faith. Although I grew up in church, I thought it would be a good review and a way to meet [...]

Shortly after getting married, Meredee and I began going through The One Year Bible. We had been reading sporadically through other books of the Bible, but didn’t have a plan. This version allowed us to have a set daily reading schedule to follow in order to accomplish the goal of reading the entire Bible. For [...]

Mission Photography

In: Faith

29 Apr 2009

I have been thinking about an idea for a while and not exactly sure where to go with it or what God is saying. Last year I decided that I would go to the Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Missoula, MT. Not only was it something that was a personal interest, I also believed [...]

Predestination

In: Faith

24 Jun 2008

One of the beautiful things about RMSP is that they pump your brain so full of photography for 11 weeks, that, if you apply yourself, you can’t help but learn and grow. It’s all you think about. And when you’re not thinking about taking pictures, you’re thinking about what gear to buy. And when you’re [...]

Mars Hill Church

27 May 2008

Friday night I was going through iTunes and looking for podcasts. I signed up for one by Ravi Zacharias and then I noticed some of the other podcasts for which people with similar interests had signed up. Since many people were saying positive things about the sermons of Mark Driscoll at Mars Hill Church in [...]

Old Testament Violence

In: Faith

21 May 2008

I have to thank my brother Paul for letting me know about this. His pastor Greg Boyd has been writing in his blog about the violence of the Old Testament and how we reconcile it with the teachings of Jesus and the nature of God. I must admit this is a topic I have briefly [...]

Abstinence is Difficult

In: Faith

19 May 2008

I’m remembering back to one of my Bible classes when Dr. Lamp talked about the Trinity. While I cannot recall the context of the statement, his words struck me because they expressed an idea much different than anything I had heard before. He was describing the unity and intimacy between the three members of the [...]

I was fortunate enough to be brought up in the Christian faith and in the Church. Not only did I have the benefit of great parents, but I also had the instruction and support of dozens of people in our church community who taught Sunday School, brought us places, led mission trips, and prayed for [...]

My Father has long been is a wise man. But it has taken me a long time to realize it. I remember being an adolescent when he told me, “Kyle, as you get older, you’ll see the humanity of people in ministry.” Though the context of the conversation and what prompted him to say this [...]

Mormon Sunday School

In: Faith

19 Oct 2007

Okay, it was Thursday School, not Sunday School. Anyway, tonight I accompanied my friend to the local LDS institute for a weekly class. No, I wasn’t searching for new answers. But the Mormons I know are some of the finest people you could meet and I thought it would be interesting to learn about their [...]
