7 key nicene and post-nicene fathers [INFOGRAPHIC]

The time around, and shortly after, the Council of Nicaea in 325 was a wild time for Christianity. The Roman Emperor Constantine legalized Christianity in 313 through the Edict of Milan, and eventually made it the official state religion of the Roman Empire. Finally,...

I'm embracing my new role as an ordained minister, and it starts at home, folks!

Family is my first and most important ministry. So it makes sense that they would get a dose of my ministering skills as I take on my new role as the Reverend Deacon Dan. That means random, spontaneous prayer sessions to ensure that we're regularly connecting with God in our lives.

Man... just wait until I get to church! This is gonna be awesome! 

NOTE: No children were harmed in this prayer time. But she did get an extra dose of the Holy Spirit!

Scenes from The Magician's Nephew... The Wood Between the Worlds.

We're having a blast in our Wednesday night youth and kids program! Each week we're reading through a chapter or two at a time through the Chronicles of Narnia books. And along the way, we're doing different crafty/hands-on activities. 

This week we were building places we've encountered so far in The Magician's Nephew. And everyone was getting creative building Uncle Andrew's office, the wood between the worlds, and the city of Charn.

I love that the kids are all having fun experiencing such great stories!

Leading up to my ordination this weekend, I had the opportunity to share my story with the people of @stedwardsepiscopal, and it was a really cool time.

Through it all, two things stood out...

1 - That my story is unique (as all of ours are). I had one friend tell me, "Whoa! I didn't know all of that about you! You've done some STUFF in your life!" I don't always think about it, but yeah, I guess I've had some pretty incredible experiences... the kind which have shaped me deeply. And I'm grateful for all that God has allowed me to experience (so far).

2 - How everything I've been through has led me to what I believe is the perfect fulfillment of God's calling on my life. It's been a REALLY long journey, with lots of ups and downs. But I've faithfully pursued God with all that I am, and I feel like I'm landing in the perfect place for what He's made me for.

I've said recently to someone that I feel more fulfilled in ministry now than I ever have in my life.

Thank you, Lord. It's an honor to serve You.

And thank you to everyone in the @cfdiocese who played some role in the fulfillment of a 20+ year old calling.

I'm looking forward to this weekend and getting ordained. But I'm really looking forward to what God has for me on the other side!

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.
