My occasional friend, Wes Cauthers, suggested that he and I attempt a podcast. Podcast might even me a misnomer. We are going to try and get to know each other better and all the while hit the record-button while we do it. Wes and I met over a decade ago, and we have bumped into […]
Just published in Christianity Today/Leadership Journal is a new article that explores the “Biblical” gospel-proclaimed. So often, when discussing the message of the gospel, Christians rely upon passages from the letters of the Apostle Paul (or others) and yet these letters are not even examples of Christians talking to non-Christians, they are instead Christians talking to […]

I recently wrote an article for Christianity Today/Leadership Journal called, “Why I gave back my assurance of salvation.” One the ideas that I pondered there was placing my hope in the idea that at the end of days, God will be just. God will do the just thing. It was a statement of hope, in […]
In my new article over on Parse (a blog of Christianity Today). In it, I consider the idea that I (and we as a religious society) respond to the world and to our neighbors as if there are two kinds of sin. You can read the entire article here: http://www.christianitytoday.com/parse/2014/august/pro-death.html?paging=off One kind of sins are […]
First of all, you need to know that I don’t read books. I know… crazy… but it’s true. I had some real learning challenges growing up (so books have never been my friends) and that, coupled with a hefty diet of 80’s cartoons and sitcoms, and well… you are left with a 43 year old […]
I write regularly for Christianity Today. I think I am a little bit the odd-ball nephew at CT, who they keep inviting over but can’t completely explain why they keep me around. Stay tuned for my next couple of articles over there. The working titles are: “Rejecting the Doctrine of ‘Assurance of Salvation’” and “We […]

Neale The basic conclusion of the research is this: Heterogeneous groups have been found to be more honest and more astute in their group processing, leading to better results. “Though […]
