Today was like most days for me: in-person and online meetings, a great deal of work that will lead to more work, but doing it all with friends and colleagues that I adore. I am grateful to be a part of the United Methodist Church. #livingmybestlife #umc #BeUMC
I can testify to a handful of faithful friends who’ve journeyed with me over many years. I know that’s my privilege in an era where men in their 40s count few close acquaintances. I am buoyed by my faithful friends and am eternally grateful for them.
Faithful friends are a sturdy shelter: whoever finds one has found a treasure.
Faithful friends are beyond price;
no amount can balance their worth.
Faithful friends are life-saving medicine; and those who fear the Lord will find them.
- Sirach 6:14-16

How many of the 85 mil would say “I honestly don’t have time to go to church?”
And how many of us church leaders would hear that legitimately? Not an issue of a lack of faith or inability to prioritize faith, but a real problem of not enough time in the day/week?
In 2008 there were 70 million Americans who reported going to church every week.
About 45 million said that they never attended services.
In 2022, 62 million were weekly attenders.
While 85 million never attend.
That's an increase of 40 million in 14 years.

If you ask me which Bar of the Conference interview is my favorite, it’s always the last one we released. But frfr, this conversation with Dr. Filipe Maia is going to stay with me for a while. Give it a listen: open.spotify.com/episode/3KB…

Excited to share this episode with Lisa Greenwood from @TxMethodistFdn & @wesleyanimpact. I loved listening to Lisa’s journey, her vision and focus on the mission of the Church. There’s a lot to think about in this episode. #umc #UnitedMethodist #BeUMC open.spotify.com/episode/64M…
I will read and listen to anything and everything James Alison puts out there. This is a rigorous and worthy read. outreach.faith/2023/07/james…

Really grateful that my friend and colleague Cynthia Weems was willing join me on the podcast. This interview helped my thinking as much as my dreaming of the future #UMC. Get those notebooks ready! Enjoy! #UnitedMethodist #BeUMC open.spotify.com/episode/3Uz…

When Sundays are as much a posture of the heart as it’s a day of the week.
Even though I go to church about one Sunday a month these days, Sunday still has the power to give me a reset on life that always makes me feel better, and a little more of the Resurrection. #Sunday
