Doctrine in the Greater Christian Community

Last updated on: June 24, 2018 at 6:39 pm   By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

In the writing On the Spirit’s Gifts, Strengths-Based, and Integrative Approaches I blend our story with a little integration of doctrines and social science.  Naturally, from that post, the question may arise, What is my basis for doctrine? i. Doctrinal Considerations I begin to answer this question in the post, The Trinity: Recognizing Beauty in Doctrine.  First, we may want to consider our approach to doctrine.  Is Scripture and Theology a link to the One who is Other?  God is not easily... Read more

The Trinity: Recognizing Beauty in Doctrine

Last updated on: June 21, 2018 at 11:38 am   By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

There is a revealed beauty in the language that God gives us to describe Him, as we enter into the processes of understanding Him more. Joel Green, a Theologian, says: “The texts of the NT were formed in the cauldron of community formation and witness; as a consequence, interpretation of those texts that does not lead to vital discipleship and mission hardly has a claim to being New Testament interpretation.”[1] This is a modern-day Theologian from the Ivy League telling... Read more

On the Spirit’s Gifts, Strengths-Based, and Integrative Approaches

Last updated on: June 16, 2018 at 9:36 am   By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

This is the third in a series of introductory writings, where I’m simply sharing a personal narrative.  These provide a launching pad for a variety of ministerial and Theological forays.  However, the guiding focus has been common discussions we have in relation to our stories and Christian ministry.  In this post, we’ll hone in on Gifts and strengths, as an example of practical ministerial leadership and guidance. i. General Ministry vs. Finding a Niche? At the end of my last... Read more

The Authentic Faith of Thomas

Last updated on: June 13, 2018 at 8:15 am   By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

The authentic faith of Thomas is difficult to comprehend.  We often attribute the characteristics of doubt to Thomas, someone who fluctuates back and forth . . . and possibly . . . he does. We do know the Disciples met eight days before Jesus appeared to Thomas.  Thomas was not with them.  He probably has no excuse. i. There are other aspects to the story that we don’t often hear I want to touch on one of those.  Craig Bartholomew and... Read more

Continuing the Narrative: Family, Community, Superheroes, and Ministry

Last updated on: June 9, 2018 at 3:34 pm   By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

i. Strengthening Connections In the first Patheos Prologue, I took time to explore my personal narrative, hoping that it will be a way for us to get acquainted at the outset.  Also, I’ve carefully selected the topics, noting that these are commonly asked questions.  Now, I’ll shift focus to ministry questions. As our relationships deepen, the questions usually do as well.  In Christian circles, our common bond in Christ often allows us to get to know each other a little... Read more

Glory: The Manifest Excellence of God

Last updated on: June 6, 2018 at 6:15 pm   By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

John 11.40: Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” Have I really seen God’s glory in my life?  Do I want really want to? Do I believe that He can show up in His glory? i. Glory is an important word It’s used at the beginning of the story.  It’s also used as the highlight of the story, so it has a double-impact on this story.  In verse 4,... Read more

Last updated on: June 1, 2018 at 5:05 pm   By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

i. Introductory Post on Patheos This introductory narrative begins with Patheos.  I’ve tracked this blogging platform for years now.  A pastor friend and I were first impressed by a group of columnists who posted regularly on this site.  Over time, Patheos continues to host captivating writings and musings of some amazing people of faith. I have hoped to write for Patheos for at least a couple years.  I’ve enjoyed blogging on my own, but do we really succeed alone?  Is... Read more
