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 [...]

Jesus Manifesto
Thomas Nelson is releasing a new book called Jesus Manifesto: Restoring the Supremacy and Sovereignty of Jesus Christ by Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola. This book will be on special discount from Amazon.com on June 1st, the date of the release. I got to know Frank Viola a little bit at Soularize in the Bahamas [...]
Bill Kinnon on writing
Bill has a wonderful post on writing. The entire thing is worth reading but this one got me thinking In 2004, Nielsen BookScan tracked the sales of 1.2 million books and found that nine hundred and fifty thousand of them sold fewer than ninety-nine copies.

Emergent is a threat to the gospel (or Tony Jones is the new anti-Christ)
I haven’t been sleeping lately and last night was poking around Google, del.icio.us, and Technorati and doing some reading by about this thing we call the emerging church, Emergent(tm), Resonate, alt.worship, and that sort of thing. As I moved from those posts in the emerging church to those that oppose and hate the emerging church, [...]
Cave Paint
Another really good idea from Spencer Burke. Graffiti and Street Art have become important mediums for the common or disenfranchised storyteller to share their journey with the world. But, most people will not visit the galleries of these paper and spray can visionaries. Each expression “hung” on the walls in alleys or under bridges have [...]
The Twelve Days of a New Media Christmas
The Twelve Days of Christmas are upon us and our trees are full of “geese a layin”, “piper’s piping” and “partridges in their pear trees”. In other word nothing useful at all. Instead of braving the long return lines at Wal-Mart in the hope you can return seven swans a swimming, why not check out [...]
