while we were still sinners
Weak. Ungodly. Sinner. That's exactly what I once was. (And sometimes still am.) But thankfully, God had a different plan for me. He wasn't accepting of those labels which I and other people put on me. Paul writes in his letter to the Romans, For while we were still...
one reason you shouldn’t ditch the spaghetti luncheon
My spiritual mentor is tiny in stature, yet fierce in strength. If you walked into a room, you wouldn’t notice her. Soft spoken voice and quiet laugh, she blends into a crowd. I met Eileen when my husband and I attended a lunch at a new church. Before we walked...
in which i stretch out my palms
I stretch out on the blue carpet in front of the family room fireplace, palms up. And I beg God to let me feel the pain, to identify with what Jesus experienced as spikes seared his flesh. But as I wait in the stillness, I sense these words. "It is finished. Done....
casting stones
Sitting there, in the comfort of my private family room, watching Lance Armstrong confess his sins on public television, the edges of my mouth tightened in disgust. God help me, that was my first reaction--not pity, not sorrow for him, but disgust at the size of his...

Got a cool Carolina Chickadee stopping by to say "hi" this morning at the feeder and put on a little show.
Just got this bird feeder with the camera in it to get video of the birds... complete with bird recognition.
And I guess that says something about my age... but it really is pretty cool watching the birds come by and eat!
I can`t wait for Spring when the birds get REALLY active in our backyard.

St. Ignatius of Loyola is known for starting the Jesuit Order, and for his Spiritual Exercises that were all about drawing us closer to God.
One of his exercises was a form of daily prayer called Examen. It`s daily prayer used to help us see where God is active in our lives and opening us up to allowing Hom to work in us in the coming day.
It`s a powerful form of prayer that can be done at the end (or beginning) of each day, helping us grow closer to God and develop into the fullness of Life that He calls us to.
That`s what we studied with the youth today, and they loved learning about this centuries-old prayer form!

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!

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.
