Tuesday, January 30th, 2007On Wednesday, an NYU student asked me what I think about Christians getting tattoos. I wish I had seen this before then: a pastor “born to raze hell” gets tattooed on Miami Ink. (Jeff, please share this post with that student. Thanks!) “You know, I can’t walk into a strip club or hang out at [...]
One Punk Under God
Tuesday, November 28th, 2006A NYC bus ad turned me onto it this morning: One Punk Under God, an upcoming reality show on Sundance Film Channel featuring “The Prodigal Son of Jim and Tammy Faye.” Jay Bakker was a keynote speaker (download audio) at Urban Youth Workers Institute the same year as me. Now he’s got his own show [...]
Jesus Loves You New York
Tuesday, July 11th, 2006A 21 year tradition continues this week at Abounding Grace, with the annual Jesus Loves You New York outreach. Twenty-five or so guests from around the country and Canada are staying at the church and hosting block parties and concerts and a basketball tournament throughout Manhattan’s lower east side.

“It was like going to bed single and waking up married”
Wednesday, June 21st, 2006So says Eric Metaxas of his conversion experience in this NY Daily News article about Socrates in the City, a lecture series that “provides a place where busy people in suits and sports jackets can discuss … ‘life, God and other small topics.’”
More on the Myspace Generation
Friday, December 30th, 2005Check out Andrew Jones’ article, “Linking to Cyberchurch” at Relevant Magazine: “If you have engaged in the Internet through the reading of religious blogs, downloading church podcasts, watching videos or chatting online with Christian friendsâ€â€chances are, you’ve participated in cyberchurch. Cyberchurch is one of the fastest growing macro-models of church today. So says George Barna [...]
Barnyard Births in the City: Wishing you an Unconventional Christmas
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005[My latest article from the December issue of Tri-State Voice; syndicated by Relevant magazine, Next Wave, and Youth Ministry Exchange] When we were kids, people called us little devils. So when we grew up, we called ourselves Satan’s Sinners. – Cochise, founder and president of Satan’s Sinners gang; incarcerated since December 1993; incarnated since January [...]
The Meeting, Day 2
Saturday, November 12th, 2005Youth Explosion’s gazillion-voice choir rocked once again, especially a dance-infused rendition of “Holy.” The Man was even better the second time around! Live music — horns, percussion, tympani, acoustic, bass, and electric guitars, drums, middle eastern melodies, even classic hymns — takes hip hop to another dimension, and it’s amazing what three Alvin Ailey dancers [...]
Last night at The Meeting
Saturday, November 12th, 2005Tony Evans preached Acts 13:36: “For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his fathers and his body decayed.” He emphasized three aspects: 1. “David served God’s purpose” — His was not a plotless life. (Why was Seinfeld so successful? People with plotless lives like [...]
Evangelistic Brilliance
Thursday, October 20th, 2005The people next to me must have thought I was crazy. Don Miller’s side-splitting humor had me in hysterical fits on the subway last night. In Blue Like Jazz, he writes of one of the most brilliant evangelistic efforts I’ve ever heard. When I read the passage to Diana, she loved the story but didn’t [...]
I went to a U2 concert (and other reflections on missional living)
Tuesday, October 18th, 2005I went to see U2 at the Staples Center on November 2, in Los Angeles. Regrettably, it’s my first U2 concert. In 1993, I had an opportunity to see U2 in Madrid with a bunch of college buddies, but that was at a time in my life when I viewed the world through fundamentalist Christian [...]
