Who am I? (Many ways to answer this -- be as creative as you want, or not.)

I am a friend of God, loved fully and loving partially, refracted Light in the prism of life. I’m a wannabe mystic and prophet, husband and father, lover and friend. I’m part of an intentional community in the Southeast US of A. I live here with my wife, Jasmin and little girl, Jubilee Grace.

Vocationally, I’m a journalist and publishing consultant. This stems out of my love for reading–everything from nonfiction spirituality and history and current events, magic realist novels, science fiction, and comic books. Especially comic books. As well as my love for writing, in many of the same genres and mediums. On odd days and leap years I’m an editor with TheOoze.com, emerging churches coordinator with the contemporary abolitionist Not For Sale Campaign, and librarian for what is arguably the web’s most extensive (at 6,000 links and counting!) alt.Christian web directory, zoecarnate.com

I’m also enrolled in the Masters in Strategic Foresight program under futurist and program director Jay Gary. This is made possible by the generosity of the school as well as Presence, an eschatologically adventurous think tank and activist cell living visions of a new reality. Together we’re helping mine creative futures for a world chock-full of the divine.

How did I get into "emerging ministry"?

After sitting in the compost of life & religion, amid the decay. And discovering beautiful new shoots of life coming on strong amid the decomposition.

Say a little bit about the community you share life with...

I've been part of two house church communities this past decade. Now, we are in transition.

What are the most pressing questions (both theological and practical) you and your community have?

How to ardently seek God along both the inward and outward journey? How to mirror the New Creation?
