overheard

yesterday leadership journal posted an intriguing article entitled preaching past tivo.* if you listen to "godcasts" for fun, enjoy the writings of will willimon, doug pagitt, john ortberg and/or efrem smith or simply have waaay too much time on your hands at work take a moment to read it. i was fascinated with the concept of "a shadow mission" and intrigued by shane claiborne's idea of earthy, life-application teaching. i'd love to hear your reflections.

* i find it a little disturbing that blogger's spell checker knows the proper spelling of TiVo but does not recognize any derivative of homiletics.

have you read shane claiborne's "Irresistible Revolution?" That's pretty good. I saw Tony Campolo tonight. He's an amazing speaker. I'm not so into podcasts though.

i haven't read claiborne's book, but i heard him speak during lent last year at christ church in hamilton-wenham. i was really impressed with his heart and understanding of mission.

i really wanted to go hear campolo last night, but after being away for five days (i sat in the bleachers for game 4 and it was amazin') and spending three more days serving in salem, i was absolutely wiped out. so the pixie and i spent the evening lounging on the couch and watching vacation. marty moose, marty moose, marty moose...
