Eighth Letter…A new TULIP for 2010

Last updated on: September 17, 2010 at 1:18 pm By Richard Dahlstrom

There’s a national project underway that’s inviting bloggers to write a letter to the church in North America. Many of these letters can be found here. It’s called the Eighth Letter and the link will explain why. Here’s my offering to the project… To the North American Church: I know you’re struggling. The symptoms of your problems are easy to see. The obvious ones have to do with numerical decline and leadership scandals. Less obvious, but just as problematic, is... Read more

Change for a five?

Last updated on: September 15, 2010 at 8:42 am By Richard Dahlstrom

Big changes are hard to come by in our lives because all of us live in ditches that we’ve created. Our habits of consuming, relating, working, eating, praying (or not praying) becoming increasingly entrenched with each passing day. As a result real change, it seems, is hard to come by. People join gyms and don’t go to them, sign up for diet plans and don’t follow them, declare their intention to overhaul their spiritual life and yet remain stuck in... Read more

Not enough – and more than enough

Last updated on: September 13, 2010 at 9:13 am By Richard Dahlstrom

piety is the first step towards stupid arrogance, the first step on a long road of something that disgusted God, made Jesus terribly angry - it's called religion - that nasty habit we all have of pretending we're more than we are, and as a result, shutting off the real possibilities for transformation.

The Healer speaks through the stars…

Last updated on: September 9, 2010 at 9:26 am By Richard Dahlstrom

If there’s a time for everything, then there’s a time for grenades of darkness to pummel our souls, battering the illusions we’ve built and exposing the raw pain of evil in this world. Some weeks, some days, pastors are right in the thick of the battle, absorbing the explosion. This has been a week of grenades: infidelity, abandonment, unspeakable pain, the idiocy of a pastor in Florida (whose church, in the height of irony, is named “Dove Outreach Center”), and...

Adaptive Leadership –

Last updated on: September 7, 2010 at 11:53 am By Richard Dahlstrom

You might remember the book “Into Thin Air” from over a decade ago? It catalogs some teams climbing Everest and attempting to summit on May 10, 1996, a day which became the deadliest day, in the deadliest year, of Everest mountaineering history. One of the heroic stories of that day was the actions of Ed Viesturs and his climbing team, who were on the mountain to make an IMAX film. Though they would summit later, their encounter of the storm... Read more

As if…a tiny anniversary meditation.

Last updated on: September 4, 2010 at 1:36 pm By Richard Dahlstrom

I don’t know famous people, but this summer I was able to become friends with one of the actors on “The Middle” because his dad and I were in architecture school together. We were all together at a conference where I spoke, and I learned about the challenges and opportunities that come to Christ followers who are professional actors. He told me Patricia Heaton, who plays the mom in “The Middle” is a committed Christ follower. So it was with... Read more

Soul Geyser…

Last updated on: August 31, 2010 at 9:54 am By Richard Dahlstrom

Maybe you’ve been to Yellowstone and seen Old Faithful? That’s the one that gushes on schedule, the heat of the earth bursting out every 70 minutes or so. Other geysers are less predictable. We were walking past one in the frigid mountain air of November ’95 when one busted up, baptizing my oldest daughter in sulfur. You just never know when the depths will come pouring out. This past weekend was a soul geyser. My sister, my only sibling, died... Read more
