It is Time for the American Christian Church to Surrender the Gay Marriage Fight, Apologize, and Share Love

Last updated on: September 4, 2015 at 8:03 am By Kurt Willems

This is a guest post by a good friend. Guest articles, although interesting, are the responsibility of the author, not Kurt. Here’s his info… Guest writer Trent Maida is former film critic and full-on blogger who now does other stuff that you may come across. ====================================================================== I need to clarify right out of the gate that this post will not focus on the “choice vs. birth vs. childhood” arguments related to the origin of homosexuality in an individual. We must start from the reality that acknowledges the... Read more

Re-Kindled Dreams, Fear, and Risk (Katie Hunt Sturm)

Last updated on: November 1, 2011 at 12:56 pm By Kurt Willems

Last week, I looked briefly at the thought of moving from fear into faith (inspired partly by a post Kurt wrote called “If the Spirit Took the Lead.” Now, I want to look in depth at the changes that happen inside of us as we begin to find that faith growing and deepening in us. Our dreams are re-kindled and stirred up. I had a few dreams as a little girl. I wanted to be a marine biologist and swim... Read more

Halloween is Economically Hollowed… But Why? (Reflections on the Recession-Proof Holiday)

Last updated on: October 31, 2011 at 8:07 am By Kurt Willems

Yesterday on CNN, a guest was on a morning news program describing the current state of our economy during the recession. To my surprise, there’s a day of the year that hasn’t struggled during our economic downfall: October 31st. That’s right, Halloween actually been showing good numbers for the past several years. The sort-of-holiday is described as the only recession-proof holiday. Halloween is economically hallowed… but why? It seems to me that Halloween, among other things, is a day when... Read more

Bi-Vocational Seminary Grads Should Be Trained Bi-Vocationally! (Future of Seminary)

Last updated on: October 28, 2011 at 1:11 pm By Kurt Willems

Editor’s Note: This article is part of an online symposium, “Does Seminary Have a Future?” hosted at Patheos this month. Read other perspectives here. Yesterday, Tony Jones responded to my post called “Seminary is Great… Seminary Loans Suck… Young Pastors are Slaves.” I appreciated much of what he said in “The Future of Seminary: Training Tentmakers.” He suggests that seminary graduates should not expect to find a full-time job after their program requirements are completed. His view is that bi-vocational... Read more

Guest Book Review: The King Jesus Gospel by Scot McKnight (Lawrence Garcia)

Last updated on: October 28, 2011 at 10:42 am By Kurt Willems

Scot McKnight’s “The King Jesus Gospel: The Original Good News Revisited” makes a clear case that our near total equivocation of the term “the Gospel” with a “personal plan of salvation” is a bad case of mistaken identity, witnessed as it were, by the fact that we style ourselves “evangelicals” when our salvation emphasis deems it more appropriate to title ourselves “soterians.” Point well taken. His analysis appears to be confirmed by the evidence he sets forth, namely, that “evangelism... Read more

Fear, Faith, and the Leading of the Spirit (Katie Hunt Sturm)

Last updated on: October 27, 2011 at 9:59 am By Kurt Willems

Kurt posted a great reflection awhile back—If the Spirit Took the Lead—that really encouraged me to think even more deeply about my own journey of the last few years. It’s a real pleasure to be involved in Kurt’s process. Over the last six months, my husband and I have been in the process of numerous significant and drastically life-altering decisions: leaving a PhD, being laid off, moving back to the USA from abroad, launching ministries and starting businesses. In all... Read more
