Change In Focus – Leadership In Life
Over the last five years I have been blogging primarily about the human experience and theology. I’ve loved every minute of writing, dialoguing with you the reader, and engaging questions, push backs and the occasional arguments. It’s been healthy.

Interview With Kathy Escobar
Kathy Escobar is a good friend of mine and has a new book out called Down We Go: Living Into the Wild Ways of Jesus. It is in my opinion one of the best books on church I’ve ever read. And I’ve read a lot. I had the chance to sit down with Kathy and discuss the book with her. …

Striving vs Diligence
Life isn’t what it used to be. In the last year I started a publishing company, moved to a different house, started a new community group, and allowed some significant relationships to just be, even though the cost was the virtual loss of those relationships.

God reveals the truth of His love to each, giving them the fullest awareness of what Jesus did on the cross. Each one chooses to accept that reality seeing it as the love of God. Which …
