Subtitle ideas tweaking while in Arkansas sharing with publisher. The title is “How (Not) to be a Christian” with subtitle “Why we urgently need church in an anti-organized religion, individualistic, spiritual-but-not-religious world”….. this will be coming out in 2026 and working on this summer.

On Saturday we had the “Tik Tok Theology” ReGeneration Project training event in Portland. Looked at tough questions about Christian faith - questions are important to be asking and never discouraged. ReGen is a ministry of Western Seminary.

Taught this morning at Reality Church. The worship music, song selection and arrangements was the sweetest non-pop rock refreshing approach for a local church.

2 years ago our neighbor accidentally caught our carport on fire which caught my 1966 Mustang on fire. Insurance finally came through and the Mustang is entering the tomb of the body shop and sometime soon will be resurrected. #66mustang #vintagemustang
