The Coronation of the King: Follow Me – Part 72
Mark 15:16-20 Jesus is mocked Last time, in the Roman trial of Jesus, Pilate unjustly ordered Jesus to be scourged and crucified. Now Jesus has been handed over to the Pilate's soldiers. It is interesting to note that the scourging is not described save 4 words (2 in...
Jesus’ Trial Before Pilate? (Follow Me – Part 71)
Mark 15:1-15 Jesus Before Pilate Mark now shifts the action from Peter's trial out in the courtyard back inside to the Sanhedrin and Jesus. It is now morning. They bind Jesus and send Him off to Pilate (v. 1), which seems like so much overkill given Jesus' peaceful,...

What’s with all the Buzz about #APEST? – A Book Review of 5Q by Alan Hirsch
Full disclosure up front: I love Alan Hirsch! He is one of my favorite authors and missional thinkers/leaders. His book, The Forgotten Ways, literally changed my life. But enough about that. In 2017, I walked out of the Missio Alliance conference with an armful of...
I’m No Superman: Holy Spirit Ministry for the Rest of Us! – A Book Review

I Am the Resistance
We all know what George Orwell said in his famous dystopian novel 1984: “In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” The glistening irony of this quote is that Orwell neither said it nor wrote it. People tend to balk at hearing this. The...
