This came from Spencer Burke of TheOoze yesterday. It’s been almost 10 years from the first Soularize in Seattle, and we’re exciting about hosting another learning party in 2011. As usual, this event will unite both traditional and non-traditional teachers, artists, theologians, thinkers, and social activists. This year – sunny San Diego! October 12-14, 2011 [...]
Soularize
Conferences
Last week Nathan Coloquhoun wrote this on conferences. I’m tired of big monster churches, leaders and organizations not caring about the small and insignificant. It’s everywhere. This conference has been going on in the States for the last few years. It’s called Q. It’s a play off the TED conferences, and generally I think it’s [...]
Maybe not my best decision ever…
Considering this photo was of the sharks that I was swimming with in Bahamas (just call me the Shark Whisperer), this story is a bit unnerving. (we were doing the same thing but with a company called Stuart Cove). We actually signed a waiver saying that if I was attacked by sharks, no assistance would [...]
Is 4 a.m. the new midnight?
Kyle Martin IM’d me and while we were chatting, asked me what the video was that was shown to kick of Soularize. I had no idea but after looking and looking I finally found it.

Soularize + 1 :: Father Richard Rohr

(Todd has some photos) Before that Todd, Jim, and I managed to escape to downtown Nassau for some touristy sightseeing [...]
Wednesday
Today was spent setting up for Soularize. After breakfast we headed to New Providence Community Church and took a tour around. NPCC has the most innovative church campus I have ever seen. The photos on Flickr tell the story better than I could but as a church they have a better understanding of metaphor than [...]
In the Bahamas
I got to the Bahamas late last night and am staying in a great beach front condo with Spencer, Mark Scandrette, Adam Klein, Jim Palmer, Todd Littleton, and Mike DeVries. We dropped off our gear and wandered down one of the two beaches surrounding the beach and floated outside falling over shells and into holes [...]
