I like the idea that stewardship is 'Time, Talent and Treasure'. We seem to have a good idea of Treasure. And we expect peoples Time and Talents, but don't always do a good job of tapping into it. When iw as a lay chaplin at a university I wrote a...
Hm. I'm going to think this out while I'm typing, so feel free to shoot any of my ideas down . . .
The "fairytale wedding" is a social, cultural context, yeah? The dress, the cake, the wedding march, all of those things are a result of cultural t...

- About Me:
- I'm a jack-of-all-Jesus-related-trades here in and around Minneapolis, Minnesota. I'm looking for communities that are hungry for sincere worship experiences, both for the sake of my own career, and my soul. I lead worship wherever they'll have me, and change the words of your favorite modern worship songs so they're communal and theologically correct, so, sorry. I live every week like it's shark week.

- Who am I? (Many ways to answer this -- be as creative as you want, or not.)
- hopeful, husband, future father, musician, cynic, someone who's trying to love others better (because I usually suck at it), failer, writer, worship visioner, nerd, creative (noun, not adjective), Lutheran, compulsive, jerk, hyper-sensitive, hugger, student, whiner, dreamer, lazy bastard, hopeful. WORSHIP CURATOR.
- How did I get into "emerging ministry"?
- How DIDN'T I get into it? . . . Turning phrases is fun.
I hardly remember. I knew I wanted a worship community where I could be Lutheran and creative and missional, and there wasn't one. So I settled (which is usually a good option when searching for perfection), and then that church sent me to a conference where Brian McLaren put a bug in my ear. Jerk.
Since then, I've been trying to be cool and uncool, and get the communities of which I'm a part on board with being risky and messy, but they don't want any part of it . . .
- Say a little bit about the community you share life with...
- Don't want any part of it.
I'm at a western-suburbs/Minneapolis church where I direct youth and try to spin things around and mix things up usually ending in failure. Which is a good reminder that I'm not God.
I also lead worship at a church in the north suburbs where we do popular worship music, hymns, and sometimes original stuff, trying to be integrity minded with lyrical theology.
Someday I want to start a new community, and suffer through a birth like that, but do something exciting. I hope Jay Gamelin will be on board.

Sam Brannon said… - But it goes further than even that. Most churches have become baby-sitting services where kids come to "party with Jesus". I want parents to be responsible for teaching their children. Once the church can get back tgo teaching people to be disciples then we can hopefully stop being so child focused and get more Gospel focused.

- JUstin, UR right. It is most diheartening when Confirmees "Fly The Coop" but it is even more so when I find out that adults don't know the basics of the faith.
