Newsworthy With Norsworthy: October Wrap-Up

Last updated on: November 2, 2016 at 11:07 pm By Jonathan Storment

So once a month, I have to gird my loins and sit down with my frenemy and podcaster Luke Norsworthy to talk about all the mistakes he’s made over the last few weeks and how much room he has for improvement. We always have plenty to talk about. This month, Luke’s had some great interviews with Brian McClaren, Steven Moore and Randy Harris on Black Rage, and a live podcast he did with Richard Beck and Caleb Kaltenbach about creating better...

The Gospel According to Stranger Things: Thin Places and All Saints Day

Last updated on: October 30, 2016 at 6:20 pm By Jonathan Storment

Recently the wildly popular podcast This American Life ran a fascinating story about a unique phone booth in Japan. The story takes place in a little town called Otsuchi that was devastated by the 2011 Tsunami. Before the Tsunami hit, an older man named Itaru Sasaki had installed a disconnected phone booth overlooking the Pacific ocean as a way of helping him cope with the death of a family member. He would go into the booth and “talk” to his deceased relative. It... Read more

The Gospel According to Stranger Things: A World Of Dungeons And Dragons

Last updated on: October 26, 2016 at 11:14 pm By Jonathan Storment

“How come the Muggles don’t hear the bus?” said Harry. “Them!” said Stan contemptuously. “Don’t listen properly, do they? Don’t look properly either. Never notice nuthing, they don’t. – Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban When I was a kid my mom read a book on Hollywood and the Occult. If I could change one thing about my childhood it would be to rid that book from the pages of history. The author had painstakingly gone through every... Read more

The Gospel According to Stranger Things: I Believe Stranger Things

Last updated on: October 25, 2016 at 8:43 am By Jonathan Storment

Will Byers loves Dungeons and Dragons. He and his 2 best friends play it all the time. And they don’t just play it, they believe it. They carry Dungeons and Dragons over into their reality, the way they talk about their day to day lives, and the choices that they make on how to live them. So much so that one day, after a rigorous game of D&D, Will is biking along and he sees something creepy and mysterious and... Read more

Church Work: Outliving Your Life

Last updated on: October 16, 2016 at 5:57 pm By Jonathan Storment

Dashrath Manjhi was born into a poor labourer family in a village in India. He was living a happy and content life until his wife, Falguni, died because of a basic lack of medicine. She died because the closest doctor was over 40 miles away and Manjhi wasn’t able to get her to a clinic on time. And so Dashrath Manji started working to help that never happen again. For 22 years he worked night and day carving a hole in a mountain... Read more

Time Change: You Have Enough Time

Last updated on: October 16, 2016 at 5:02 pm By Jonathan Storment

So for the past few years, I’ve been thinking a lot about time. What we do with it, why we always feel like we’re running out of it, why we’re so busy constantly, and why everything we’re so frantically pursuing just seems to get further and further away. As a pastor, one of the things that keeps me up at night is that there are so many lonely people in church. Church is supposed to be a place of connection... Read more

Time Change: Fast Food

Last updated on: October 19, 2016 at 11:32 pm By Jonathan Storment

We are what we eat. —Ludwig Feuerbach, nineteenth-century German philosopher One of my favorite stories of the Old Order Amish culture is about how they eat meals together. You may know that when an Amish son or daughter turns 18, they go on Rumspringa (a word meaning running around) where they leave their family and the Amish way of life to go sow their wild oats, check out the ways of the world and basically do anything they want. I love that idea. These are kids... Read more

I’ll get right to the point. You don’t have time to read this. You’re important and you’ve got pressing things to do. Chances are if you’ve taking time to read this, you’re also doing something else at the same time. (95% of people in a recent TV Guide survey admitted to using their smart phone in the bathroom). The average person on this blog stays here for just over a minute, long enough to skim the gist of something and... Read more

Time Change: Time Is Of The Essence

Last updated on: October 10, 2016 at 11:56 pm By Jonathan Storment

“In an age of speed…nothing could be more invigorating than going slow.” -Pico Iyer For the past few years, I’ve been thinking a lot about time. Maybe it’s because we have kids, and watching them grow up is a bit like having personalized little hour glasses walking around reminding you of each passing day…or maybe it’s because I’m starting to feel older and busier with each passing year. But whatever the reason, I’ve started to believe that there is almost nothing in the world... Read more
