When I was growing up I learned about the “War on Christmas.” Saying Happy Holidays around a “Christian” will land you with some real side-eye shade and maybe even a dramatic, “IT’S MERRY CHRISTMAS!” Nowadays, if you say Happy Holidays, it’s likely you’ll be on the...

The night before, as I was deciding what to wear for the concert I was throwing in Pittsburgh with a couple of DJs, I went through my closet and found an old Exiting The Fall shirt I had tucked away. It was if the shirt had been misplaced for years. So I pulled the...

Good morning everyone. Thank you so much for coming and celebrating the life of Ronald Wilson. It’s so weird calling him Ron, because as some of you know, Im his grandson and I’ve always known him as Pappap. So from now on, when you hear Pappap, you know...

On top of an amazing wife and new job as a videographer, I recently took on a semi part-time project as a Hebrew Text Aligner and Editor for a Bible Software company. It's exciting to finally put all my years of Hebrew study to some good use What's something good you have going on? (PS Shout out to @alcf_ralph for the referral!)
2 days ago by jnboothby Rereading one of my favorite books (and authors) this morning. Henri Nouwen's prophetic book challenges Christian leaders to be more than just a "moral person" but rather someone who is in love with Jesus.
