Podcast: AJ’s First Last Day – Graduating Kindergarten

Last week saw a milestone pass in our house: AJ enjoyed his very first last day of his very first year of schooling. He has now officially “graduated” kindergarten. We are very proud. [Blah, blah, blah — skip Rich’s philosophizing,and go straight to the podcast!] Never having parented before, and having…

Jesus Camp and BlogRodent on Word-FM

Last year, on October 3, I did a live interview with John Hall and Stephanie Fraschetti from Word-FM about the “Jesus Camp” documentary that was then the height of Evangelical fear-mongering (start here if you don’t know what I’m talking about: “Jesus Camp: Brainwashed in the Blood — or Is it…

AJ and his first day in kindergarten – a podcast interview

Update: I’ve added Jennifer’s account of AJ’s first day in the comments section, for the interested. Today we sent our little boy to school for the first time. Nobody wept. There was no gnashing of teeth, wailing, or sack-cloth and ashes. On our part, anyhow. Instead, we were excited to…

Da Vinci Code Conversations, Redux

After two weekend-long video-editing sessions we finally went live with the new online training course anticipating the Da Vinci Code film opening next week on the 19th. It’s called “Da Vinci Code Conversations,” and it’s intended to give viewers a brief, birds-eye-view of the major contentions in Dan Brown’s novel…

When worship goes awry…

Okay, okay, okay. I know. This is a day of tragedy and mourning for my lost and beloved RodentMobile. But blame it on Travis Johnson. He posted a link to the “Concerned pastor” voicemail Trent Fuller released on the GraceHead blog, and I badly needed the humor. Perhaps you do,…

F-bombs, poets, and church. Or, “When church goes intentionally awry!”

First, I blogged about Blake Bergstrom and his hilarious attempt to have Lot say “pitch his tents.” Then we had John Ortberg entreating: “Let everything that has breasts, praise the Lord,” along with William Willimon’s story of an evangelist unintentionally preaching the shorts off a church-skipper. On the time-worn religious…

My 15 minutes of limited fame…

I’m popular on the Web! Well, maybe I’m just popular on Garrick Van Buren’s website. Or, maybe I’m just popular on one podcast on one podcaster’s show coming out of a small home in Minnesota that is redolent of freshly roasted coffee. I had the pleasure of spending over an…

Heaven and Hell: September 28, 2005, class #3

Sorry it took so long to get these notes and ideas posted from last week’s class—it’s been a very busy week at work, and I haven’t had the time at home to get as much done as I’d hoped. So, unfortunately, this is a bit raw. But, fortunately, I have…

Heaven and Hell: September 21, 2005, class #2

Last week we finished the last five minutes of the Search for Heaven video, then we opened the floor for discussion. The recordings I have below are for my brief intro before the video, the class discussion after the video, then some after-class discussion I recorded with a few who…

When sermons go awry…

Okay, I wasn’t going to post merely frivolous stuff here, but this is far too precious to pass up. You who preach … well. If you gotta slip up, go big. Here’s a clip below of poor high school pastor Blake Bergstrom, who tried to work his way around a…

Heaven & Hell: Open House

For all who were in last week’s open house, and for those who missed it, here are the little mini-presentations I gave regarding the future of this class. For anybody else familiar with this site, this is my “boss blog” for the folks taking the Believer’s Life Institute classes at…

I’m flush with Oreos–or AJ doing his part to ease world hunger

When you’re four years old you can’t walk away from the chocolatey goodness that is an Oreo cookie. And there’s nothing better than a crisp Oreo dunked in cold glass of pristine milk–especially when you’re only four and a half years old. Well, perhaps reading while dunking Oreos might improve…
