how to derail your next mission trip
An old dusty school bus rolls through a cloud of dust and out come twenty tired and sweaty volunteers. They have just survived the four hour drive from Port-au-Prince to La Croix, Haiti, after a six hour flight from Pittsburgh to Miami and then Miami to...
lessons from the slum congregation
"There is not an honest pastor in the land who is not deeply aware of the slum conditions that exist in the congregation and, therefore, the unending task of clearing out the garbage, finding space for breathing, getting adequate nourishment, and venturing into the...
when you have no idea where you are going
It's been one of those weeks. You've had them, right? Times of hard decision-making and what-ifs that lead to more waiting and second-guessing and flip-flopped fear and trust, and you just want a final decision to be made and hope you can live with it. Except each...
like something trying to get born
It's bright this morning, crisp and early. The kind of morning you feel that something new is trying to get born. Last night, we rifled through the backpacks at Wal-Mart and after much deliberation, picked out four of them. They are still stiff, smelling of that...

New sermon (text only) now posted on the blog!
"As we take this time today to celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany, may we encounter Christ in this place tonight. May we recognize God in the child who was born among us to be our Savior. When we see that Light, may we be changed forever by it. And I pray that we reflect that Light to those around us, wherever we go.
Arise, church! And shine! For your Light has come. The glory of the Lord has risen upon you!"

My view from behind the altar with a nearly packed chapel at @campwingmann while we were singing the Lord`s Prayer during the #eucharist.
What an amazing experience help lead these youth in worship this morning and delivering the sermon wrapping up our Winter Camp experience together!
So. Good.

A wonderful night of worship at @campwingmann with @_amyyyates and @kbbartle. First with Amy leading all of the youth and children together, followed by a beautiful time of compline prayer with Rev Kev bringing in a special Silent Night for the Christmas season.
Winter Camp has been a special time for all of us this year, and this was an amazing way cap it all off on our last night.
It`s always inspiring to see young people pour out their hearts to God like this. I feel like I have a front row seat to watching a generation that`s going to rock this world for Christ.
And I`m so grateful to be able to stand alongside other great leaders who are helping set the tone for these youth.

It`s been a beautiful Christmas Eve at @stedwardsepiscopal! The kids did really well with their pageant, singing Happy Birthday Jesus, and then we enjoyed hot cocoa and cookies... complete with "snow" outside!
We`re blessed to have such an amazing church community!
Merry Christmas, from the King family to you and yours!

JUST LAUNCHED! I`ve just released a new 5-week small group study on the five commitments in the Baptismal Covenant. You can get it at...
bibledude.gumroad.com (or link in bio)
It`s a study that I put together and conducted with the youth at @stedwardsepiscopal, but it`s not just for youth, and it`s not just for #episcopalian churches.
The study dives into five key areas of what the Christian life should look like.
Check it out!

Had a great time parking cars with the youth tonight for the Christmas Walk event in downtown Mount Dora! It turned out to be a great fundraiser for the youth.
And then we headed downtown ourselves for a little treat and to check out the holiday festivities and lights.
We`ve really got a great, fun community!

"And we live in a broken world. It might not look and feel exactly like it did for the people living in the Babylonian Captivity 2600 years ago. But it’s not a stretch for us to look at the world we live in and feel like something’s off; like we’re displaced from the way things should be."
Hope... it changes things.
My sermon for Advent One focuses on the hope we have in Christ, based on a promise the Lord made to execute justice and righteousness in the land.

It`s Christmas tree time! And I always love hanging my favorite ornaments... a pair of hand-carved turtle doves made in Rwanda. A gift from a friend I went on a mission trip with to Uganda and Rwanda.
I love them because of how they symbolize love and strong commitment... something that reminds me of the love of Christ.

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.
