Photo Credit: Twitter I don’t know how many youth ministries will be talking about what is happening in Baltimore this week with their youth groups but I understand it can be hard to react this quickly. My hope is that youth ministries from every color on the spectrum will take a moment this week and…
With the attempted assassination of Pilate things are now spinning out of control for Caiaphas. Pilate says he will crucify 10 Jews every day until Boaz is captured. Each side is pressing to find him. Caiaphas’s underling is super sketchy, I would not want him skulking the city streets looking for me. Peter and…
You can see my thoughts on other episodes starting with Episode 1 The continued unrest in Jerusalem is palpable. The tension and hatred between the zealots and the Romans is further emphasized through the character Boaz who’s ready to throw down anytime, anywhere. Later on Boaz makes a killer (literally) retractable arm knife which he…
I saw this pic on Twitter. I’m not sure whether the person who posted this was a Christian or not. Upon first glance I had a knee jerk reaction to this shirt. My Pharisee-0-Meter went off the chart. I get it, we’re imperfect, but should we be this honest about our imperfections? Or worse, is…
If you are just jumping in on the series, you can check out my summary of episode 1 HERE. Caution: There are spoilers (in regards to back story ) This episode begins with a compelling scene, not found in scripture, between Pilate and Caiaphas.

The episode begins with the crucifixion and ends with the resurrection but it’s the in-between story lines that will make this series interesting.…
Have you heard about Chris Borland, the 24 year old rookie linebacker for SF, retiring after just one year in the NFL? It shocked me too but I totally understand it. He decided the risks of receiving multiple concussions and shortening his life span and decided to cash out. In youth ministry I don’t…
It’s you’re right to reject me on many levels, Theologically Whether you’re an atheist who disagrees that there is a God or you’re from a different denomination who disagrees with me doctrinally on everything from The Rapture to baptism. Politically You may disagree with me on political and social issues like abortion, gay marriage or…
Consider the last time you told your testimony. If I were to fact check your testimony, would all aspects turn out to be true or would I find some embellishment along the way? Just recently Brian Williams, anchor of NBC nightly news, was found out to have embellished, if not lied, about some…
Let me start with the fact that I don’t hate anyone. Hates an ugly word that my momma said I should not say but how else can I adequately say that I don’t like the Patriots very much? I think the parody video, Beat Brady to the tune of Stay With Me by Sam Smith,…
