  • Elevator Talk

    Elevator Talk

    In a class this semester, we were asked to write a short blurb about our theological convictions.  The catch was that it had to be an “Elevator Talk.”  Think of it this way.  Imagine you get into an elevator and punch the button for your floor.  It’s a pretty big building and it’ll take a…

  • Doubting Thomas

    Here’s the video of the Nickle Creek song.  It’s groovy. If it’s not embedded on this page, click here instead. Here’s what I wonder – and many others have too.  Why do we call him doubting?  Weren’t all the other disciples equally questionable?  How many of them ran to the tomb to greet the risen…

  • Sending from Theology After Google

    Here are the lyrics from the sending song I wrote for the close of Theology After Google. I am humbled to have been part of such an event, and am grateful for the presenters, leaders, and those whose paths intersected with mine.  Here are the lyrics: Praise God who has created Praise God in unity…

  • Sex: Sympathizing with the Damned

    The more I think about it, the more I think sex divides us more than it brings us together.  How’s that for counter-intuitive?! And yet it seems to be all we can talk about.  Or more accurately, it’s all we can think about as long as we don’t talk about it except that we can…

  • The End of Science v. Religion? Not…

    I just got home after attending the Clayton v. Dennett debate over at CGU.  I’m still processing, and will likely want to watch the debate again.  If you missed it or need to watch it again, the place to do so is here: Here are a few thoughts I’d wish to share, and then I’d…

  • Opportunities for Techno-Theology

    Opportunities for Techno-Theology

    When I was in my early 20s, I went to a church in Northridge that had – for the first time I’d ever seen – a projector showing song lyrics during the worship service.  I had been involved in tech for quite a while and had been involved in my local church for even longer.  Never…

  • The Digital Community – Is It “All That?”

    Ok.  So I get that it took me way too long to blog after my last Theology After Google teaser.  You have my apology.  Mostly.  While you’re getting irritated with me, know that what I’m about to blog are the class notes from last week’s class.  Ok.  Get mad.  Ready, go. Now that we’re done…

  • Something New with Theology and Tech!

    So I’ve been a geek for a long time.  I don’t need to water it down.  If it walks like a duck & quacks like a duck, it’s a duck!  I walk like a geek and talk like a geek, so I must be a geek!!  I’ve been a freelance IT consultant for a number…
