I still hold that faith is for the pioneer. The beaten path is not necessarily the same as the narrow one Jesus speaks of. So we went small — and it was completely on purpose. Just over 25 people gathered this weekend to practice the kind of intentional, stripped-down discipleship that voices like Francis Chan and Alan Hirsch are trying to trumpet.

We sat in the dark on Friday because Paul teaches that suffering is the only path towards true salvation. Discipleship is about God's will... not ours. That means surrender has to come before sunrise.

But that made Sunday morning feel like exactly what it was — resurrection putting everything back in its right place. Dawn marked the end of death. Sunday was about the finality rather than the fanfare.

This wasn't about being exclusive. I do love a crowd. In small doses. I know… ironic. But we're learning that carrying Christ into Monday's marketplace matters just as much as inviting someone through the doors on Sunday morning. Here’s to Easter being habitual rather than a holiday…

This week is our exploration into the live devotional experience! A gathering of several small groups of Christ-followers will participate in on-location teaching and prayer as a means of preparation for celebrating the resurrection and a renewed commitment of discipleship. Friday will use the foreboding forest to teach how faith is forged. Sunday finds us on the serene seashore where faith goes to new fathoms. Within the micro-church model, there are those seeking truth beyond the trappings. We're researching ways to facilitate and resource that. Our goal is to use this pilot experience to create models for others to follow.

Reading like an Eeyore riddle, Ecclesiastes is a wierd text in the scriptures. But when you realize it is intended as contrast against which the Gospel can be shown in relief, it starts to make sense. Coming this Spring...

Using the recent blizzard as the backdrop, we look at how God uses snow as a metaphor for the way His Word works in our life. Rather than performing the miraculous and instantaneous, He more often moves through hidden processes that require us to trust when we can't see any results.

Have you ever heard a sermon so powerful you still remember it 25 years later? It’s rare, right? And yet that’s the foundation behind our current series, "Guarding Grace." It grew out of a message my friend Mike preached decades ago — one that never stopped resonating with me. This photo is from last Fall where I was able to uniquely combine my filming of Episode 01 in the same region where that sermon was originally delivered. My friendship with these two men formed here at Gordon-Conwell near Cape Ann, MA nearly 25 years ago and we still get together annually to reminisce, repair and reorient. Both of these guys have spoken into my life in countless ways, but this particular message was so enduring that I knew it needed to become the cinematic study we're now sharing with you. You can find the series at thinkdepth.net.

Highlights from Episode 02. Filming onsite as opposed to a controlled studio is nerve wracking. Waited patiently for a Fall Noreaster to be able to illustrate the seas described in Jonah and Acts. Opportunity knocked in October and December. Pleased with the rest of the episode. On to Episode 03...

With original translations from the Hebrew, Episode 02 digs deep into God's sovereignty in the face of our rebellion. We can handle a God that reaches down from heaven to save us... but what about a God that goes in front of us during times of depravity to pre-appoint our method of rescue? Shot on the shores of the Mid-Atlantic during both storms and sunny, calm days... Episode 02 is sure to capture your imagination and offer inspiration.

We strive to find the optimal balance between the academic and the application. Driving deep into the text, our goal is to not simply hear God's Word back then... but to hear it today too.

Released Episode 01 this weekend to Guarding Grace, a new series on the text of Jonah. A month behind schedule but worth the post-processing edits to ensure the new Study Guide format lined up with the lesson. Excited to have Episode 02 underway and in the filming stage.
