You don`t need all the answers. You don`t need to see the whole road.
You just need enough light for the next step.
That`s what grace looks like. And that`s what Holy Rhythms for Hurting Hearts is all about -- ancient rhythms that carry you forward, one sacred step at a time.

While at @campwingmann, I had the opportunity to celebrate the Eucharist alongside Rev. Garcia Barnswell-Schmidt, one of my absolute favorite people in the @cfdiocese.
We served alongside each other for an incredible youth retreat that I brought my @stedwardsepiscopal youth group too, and it was a great weekend for all.
We talked about Psalm 23 all weekend, and today in my closing sermon, I emphasized to them how it all ends at the Table. Even when we still carry our brokenness, struggles, and junk... He still prepares the Table for us.
And as we prepared the Eucharist, she invited all of the youth there to join us around the Table as she blessed the elements, and we served them right there.
The Lord (YHWH) says, "Come to the Table. I`ve prepared it just for you."

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want..."
It`s been an incredible weekend teaching youth from @stedwardsepiscopal and around @cfdiocese on Psalm 23.
Shepherd.
Valley.
Table.
This Psalm is the Gospel and the entire Christian walk in six verses.
It`s really too much to pour our here, but I`ll be honest... I know the youth got a lot out of it, but it was a treat for me to teach... probably one of my favorite things I`ve taught in a while.
I get to preach a summary sermon on it during our Eucharist in the morning... an opportunity share a more pastoral perspective on the Psalm after three sessions today of deep teaching.
I have a feeling all of us will carry this one away into life... in all of the green pastures and dark valleys... all the way back to the Table He prepares for us.

Hitting @amazon right now (Kindle version, with print right behind it)!
This one combines my passions for technology, systems, and ministry all in one helpful resource.
There`s a lot of uncertainty with how AI fits in with churches, and this book should bring some clarity. If you`re curious about how new technologies can be used in church settings without losing your soul, then check this one out.
No hype. Just insight into how to build strong systems into your church ministry work.

Had a great time tonight talking about "Holy Rhythms for Hurting Hearts" tonight!
I was amazed at level of interest in the topics discussed in my little book of essays on mental health and ancient church practices. It seems like all of us relate to the struggle and are looking for peace.
And it appears that this book is a really great one for Lent... if you`re looking for a good read...
@ bibledude . Feb 28
Just a little preview into my sermon tomorrow at @stedwardsepiscopal (8am and 10am).
This line just keeps hanging there in my heart.
Can`t wait to preach it!

Had a great time with our #EYCmountdora youth group tonight at our Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner!
Our youth serve so well, and I love how our church community supports them.
This has become one of my favorite ways to mark the shift into the season of Lent.

It`s just one of those top-open kind of days on the way home from church today.
Sun shining.
Cool temps.

By the end of the Blessing of the Stage, the floor is always covered in water - baptizing the space where these students will spend the next week telling stories.
Today we talked about truth-telling as sacred work. About how theater, at its best, reveals what`s real about being human. About how every role matters - on stage and backstage.
Grateful to be part of this tradition with Mount Dora High School`s Tempest Theater.

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.
