*This post is part of the Patheos Bookclub review for “Dallas and the Spitfire” *** Leave a comment on this post, with adequate contact information and I might pick you to get a free copy of the book!

Last updated on: May 19, 2012 at 12:53 pm By Kurt Willems

The following series is based on my senior paper for Seminary. You may remember a video where I invited people to contribute their stories to help make my case.

Should Kids Join their Parents in Church Services or Go to “Childrens’ Church”?

Last updated on: May 17, 2012 at 6:50 pm By Kurt Willems

*A Guest Post: Evelyn Sweerts is a mother of four and part-time Theology for Ministry student living semi-rurally in Luxembourg. We’re out for a family meal in our local Italian restaurant. A mixed-age group comes in. The adults sit down at one end of the table to talk; the kids whip out their PSPs and play in silence at the other end. Nothing extraordinary, completely logical and … depressing. But then, I’m a firm believer in the importance of family... Read more

I Kissed a Girl and Went to Hell??? (Church Sign)

Last updated on: May 16, 2012 at 3:36 pm By Kurt Willems

This is funny in so far that it demonstrates how ridiculous and disconnected churches can be… so much so, that its laughable. Ridiculous! It spews judgment and the kind of cultural back and forth that fails to be constructive. What do you think? For my thoughts on Hell, go here. Read more

The Nine Circles Of Hell, As Depicted In LEGO

Last updated on: May 14, 2012 at 11:57 am By Kurt Willems

On the night before our graduation, I was invited to give a reflection on my seminary experience. Here is what I said. I still can’t believe graduation is over! ———————– To the graduating class of 2012, along with the faculty and staff of Fresno Pacific Biblical seminary: Thank you all for the humble opportunity to share with you today.
