Synergies Between the Emerging Church and 12 Steps

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 4:43 pm By Tony Jones

The following is a guest post by Chris Estus. Chris is an “Aspiring Emergent.” He left the friendly local mega-church in 2011 to start Pioneer at Asbury – A worshiping community of people in, in need of or interested in recovery. He and his good Al-Anon wife Pat have lead the Pioneer Group since 2001. His worship CD – The Chris Estus Band can be sampled at www.thechrisestusband.com I had my last drink of alcohol on July 24th 1999. I ‘ll spare... Read more

Bad Theology Triggers My Gag Reflex

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 4:43 pm By Tony Jones

Thabiti Anyabwile, a Cayman pastor and board member of the Gospel Coalition, has got everyone’s undies in a bunch with his hamfisted post saying that if you find anal sex gross, that must be the Holy Spirit. He then goes on to give his army marching orders to describe gay sex in disgusting terms as often as possible, in order to fight the gay lobby. (He seems to think that describing sex is a turn off; I think most people... Read more

Bad Idea at Oral Roberts University

So, it seems that in their exuberance about America, the brainiacs at ORU decided to release a bald eagle inside chapel this week. Also, the chapel has glass walls. Guess what happens next: HT: Mark Riddle Read more

What Haunts You?

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 4:43 pm By Tony Jones

We’re just a couple weeks away from a new season of The Questions That Haunt Christianity, my ongoing series that attempts to tackle the toughest questions of the faith. I’ve got a queue of questions left over from last year, but now’s the time to submit new questions. I don’t answer in the order that questions come in. Instead, I scroll through questions and pick one that grabs my attention. And, if you’d like to see the questions that have... Read more

Manuscript Mondays: Finding a Writing Rhythm

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 4:43 pm By Tony Jones

Mark Twain said, “Write what you know.” So, since I’m neck-deep in a book project, I’m going to start writing about that process on Mondays. My next major book, on the atonement, is coming out in February…2015. That’s right, 2015. Seems like a longs way off, doesn’t it? It does to me, too. I work best under deadline. A book I’m editing that is a tribute (aka, festschrift; aka liber amicorum) was due last Thursday. After putzing away at it... Read more

The Emergent Dave Ramsey

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 4:43 pm By Tony Jones

I’ve know Mark Scandrette for a long time. In fact, in 2008, he and Doug Pagitt and Dave Laird and I spent an entire summer together in Michael Toy’s RV. I got to know him even better that summer. Mark is an uncommonly honest person. In fact, chances are that within 5 minutes of a conversation, Mark will ask you something rather intimate about one of two little-discussed topics: sex or money. And he won’t break eye contact until you... Read more

The Wisest of Words from Rachel

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 4:43 pm By Tony Jones

The truth is, that dude whose blog posts totally rub you the wrong way may be the best person in the world with which to watch a football game or talk theology over beer. That acquaintance on Facebook whose pictures make her life seem perfect may struggle with self-doubt, depression, and fear. That stuffy Calvinist you love to hate may melt into a goofy, delightful playmate when he’s tickling his kids on the living room floor. The feminist you always... Read more

Christianity21 Makes Its Triumphant Return!

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 4:43 pm By Tony Jones

A few years ago, Doug and I produced an epic event. Called Christianity21, it gathered 21 amazing speakers to give talks of 21 minutes each. We were wowed at the quality of the presentations. Here’s what it looked like: Well, Christianity21 is back, baby, this time with help from our friend and event producer, Sarah Cunningham! We’re holding it in January in Denver (yes, you can take me skiing afterwards). We’ve got a great line-up of presenters, and this... Read more
