THE STORIES WE TELL OURSELVES
One of the most dangerous things about me is how easily I can convince myself that I'm right. And I'm disturbingly good at it. I found myself recently sitting across from a former mentee. We'd lost touch a few years after he graduated from college. I saw on...

We Celebrate Charity. We Tolerate Business: Rethinking the Missional Dimension of BAM
I’m not a provocateur by nature. Most people (who don’t ride in a car with me) know me as measured and careful with what I say and how I say it. But one of my favorite “poke the bear” statements when I’m talking to a roomful of missions-minded Christians is...
