New Blog…kinda

So I’ve been asked to be a contributing author for a new blog with Bryan Barley and Mark Turner, two guys I really appreciate and respect. The title of the blog is Unlikely Christians: Theology, Culture, and the Gospel and can be found HERE.

I’ve never been a part of this sort of endeavor, but the opportunity seems both intriguing and worthwhile. There’s always a sense of careful consciousness (for me, at least) that goes along with publishing written material online, knowing that others may read it and that I will be held accountable by the public (despite how little of an audience I maintain) for what I say and write. That, however, is one of the primary reasons why I blog; knowing that I must be careful in how I articulate what I’m thinking is a great discipline that I want to constantly exercise. I believe it forces me to be intellectually responsible and fairly reasonable as I think through certain–sometimes difficult–issues.

With Unlikely Christians, however, I will be representing the opinions of more than just myself (to some degree). Needless to say, the pressure to be compelling, relevant, and, well…right…will be a little greater! Evenso, I’m looking forward to writing with these guys and sparking some interesting theological conversations that will hopefully provide a resource for many others. I will, of course, continue this blog just the same. Hope you enjoy!
