Fight Club – Deliver Me
In the third in a series of posts on Fight Club, we see desire. (There is one more but it’s very graphic and in m opinion the best.) This PSA is called, “Deliver Me.” It’s the human motivation that lies underneath the surface. In “I Know You” it the narrator staring back at us in the mirror. But in this …
Fight Club – Hell Or Nothing
It’s Fight Club time again. I’m diggin’ on these old PSA trailers so I’m bringing ‘em out of hiding. This second one is called, “Hell or Nothing.” And it provides a provocative question for people. Is hell the better option than annihilation? I actually believe the narrator in the story is the everyman. He’s supposed to be you and I …
Fight Club – I Know You
I love Fight Club. It’s arguably one of the more important movies ever made (strictly from my opinion – even though I know so many people who would agree with me.) because it grapples with the human soul in one of the more provocative ways ever made. I’ve seen it probably 8-9 times and each time I notice something about …
Question To Ponder
You woke up today to find someone of significant value in your life was gay. What would change?
Dealing With Grief During The Holidays

What is your favorite memory of the holidays? Do share friends.
Are We Afraid Of Our Freedom
One of the more provocative verses in all of Scripture is Paul’s statement, “All things are lawful…” (1 Cor 6:12) After the cross God begins to reveal a structure of grace. The story of Peter’s vision and wrestling with what it means to eat meat explores this tension in detail. This breakdown provides some detail on the Levitical restrictions that …
The Value Of Friends
This is a post about friendship. Some of you may know that a couple of weeks I ago I began looking for work. The long term funding for Thrive ended this summer and I’ve been wrestling with what that means. I’ve loved every second of ministry and the freedom that it has afforded me to work directly with people. Yet …
Question To Ponder
I grew up with a very simple question. If you died today do you know where you’d go. Tracy Chapman suggests a provocative alternative, which I now find much more compelling. If you knew that you would die today, Saw the face of God and love, Would you change?
Question To Ponder
I have a friend who is a buzzkill when it comes to fun. It seems that no matter what we’re doing he seems to see life through a paradigm of what he can’t do, versus what he can do. I specifically notice that it revolves around pleasure. And it made me think. Why do you think some people are afraid …
