Husband and dad. Artisan of the common good. Wolves fan. Pastor by profession at Fabric Minneapolis (church for the rest of us). Have you listened to somebody today?
And that, my friends, is the end of the series… and WOLVES WON IN 5!

Easter need not simply be about the resurrection.

Maybe for you it’s also about the ways God’s big vision of love gets picked up and carried by those willing to let it take root in us.

What part of that vision feels compelling for you to pick up for a while?

Jesus is risen, and so can we.

Take it from a pro like Peter Mayer:

A writer is a person who writes.
A creative is a person who creates.

You’ve got gifts to use… use them well! Contribute to the common good; sing YOUR song; splash some color & vibrancy in the ways you’re able. Tell about the dream you’ve been given to steward.

Mayyadda is coming over to play!

Sunday at 10:30 at Fabric.
We meet every week at Field Elementary School in Minneapolis.

Looking forward to her music and story taking us to deeper places. I believe music is a beautiful pathway into the heart of God.

Just absolutely predictable political theater, isn’t it?

Well, #TikTok just went dark, officially. We’ve reached the end of an era for internet culture, widespread connection and organizing, and interpretation of free speech.

This is bigger than any single app.

I’ve been recently inspired by my 10th-great grandfather, John Livingston. He was a minister in the Church of Scotland before being exiled to Rotterdam, where he continued to write.

He was sweet but nonconformist & was exiled for refusing to sign the Oath of Allegiance. Wish I could talk with him.

Can’t get enough kid art!

Last night, Rollie drew himself on green grass (and had fun drawing lots of toes and fingers) while thinking about things he likes. Specifically, the swings at school. ♥️
