which gender pronoun would you use for The Holy Spirit?
As I sit in my Systematic Theology class, a big question comes up. "Which gender pronoun should we use for the Holy Spirit?" Okay, so we're obviously going to take one some BIG conversations in this class... And honestly, it's exactly the kind of conversation that...
ananias of damascus: a sermon on a reading from acts 9
The Reading: Acts 9:1-20 Meanwhile Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, men or women, he might...
3 things i’m learning from being on church staff
The first eight months have gone by really fast. And in that (short) time, I've been learning a lot in my first job being on church staff. I've done a lot over the years in a volunteer capacity, but there's something different about doing ministry in a (part-time)...
how to study the Bible (the complete series)
When I stepped into my new role as Director of Family Ministries (and youth minister) at St. Edward's Episcopal Church, one of the biggest things on my heart was to ensure that the children and youth in our church understood how to study the Bible well. I mean,...

I`ve been working in some updates to the website! It seemed appropriate since I`ve been getting back to writing more often again!
I think I`m digging the fresh look. What do you think?

To the Chief Musician: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
My sermon from today at @stthomaseustis is now available on my blog (🔗 link in bio).
"We have reason to celebrate as we remember the day that Jesus beat death and secured salvation for all who would believe. But if we`re honest with ourselves, sometimes we have days when it doesn`t really feel like it."

Peak of the #partialeclipse from Central Florida. Definitely a shift in the brightness and vibe outside. It`s cool that while the direct shot of the Sun still feels pretty full, that we get that little reflection/shadow of it in the camera lens that shows the coverage.
It looks like where we live will be in the path of totality for an eclipse in August 2045! Just for the record... party at my house that day!

I had the opportunity to serve with Bishop @justinholcomb today while he was filling in for the priest at @stthomaseustis. The services went well, and we even had some fun along with a couple of my fellow diaconate aspirants.
I just gotta say that in the last (fun) pic, Bishop Justin looks WAY too much like this wasn`t the first time he`s held his crozier (staff) like he`s some kind of powerful wizard about to slay the evil dragon who`s been tormenting his villiage... 🧙♂️
We had a great time serving together, and I`m proud to be part of the @cfdiocese with such incredible people!

I got to preach today to my fellow diaconate students (now available on the blog, link in bio) today...
My prayer is that I`m able to follow in the footsteps of guys like Peter and John (see Acts 4), Luke the Evangelist, and @tobymac as I, "cannot help but to speak about what I have seen and heard," with great boldness.
P.S. I love the light from the stained glass on the wall over the altar behind me!

"Almighty God, who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord`s resurrection, may be raised from the death of sin by your life-giving Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen."

From "crucify him" to "it is finished"... our #EYCmountdora youth did a Stations of the Cross youth prayer experience that goes on the journey through the Stations with teen-focused reflections along the way.
They love doing these prayer station experiences where they focus on various Scriptures and use them to develop their prayer life and connection with the Holy Spirit.
And this has been a great way for us to kick off Holy Week and dig deeper into what Jesus endured as we look forward to the hope that comes with Easter Sunday.

A Message From Dan
What does it look like to live a Christian life? Like, TRULY live a Christian life? If I’m honest, I’m over the fake front of being a happy, blessed, and perfect person in order to impress others. Truth is, I’m a sinner who’s just trying to figure out how to do this without looking like an absolute fool. I think the Christian life is about admitting our brokenness, while raising our hand to say,”Here I am Lord! What would You have me do?” And that’s what this blog is all about… just a dude trying to do the best I can, and maybe hoping that you’re stumbling through the same journey. Maybe we can walk together.
