Jim and Joy Schroeder - An Impersonal Relationship with God

A few months ago, some of us from EmDes had the opportunity to record interviews with Craig Spinks of Recycle Your Faith. Jim and Joy Schroeder's interview has been posted, and they have some insightful things to say about their process up until now. via recycleyourfaith.com

Give And Take.: Making a WAY in the desert

An old one, but good one, from my friend Joy: I grew up expecting God to do something....to be up to something...especially something “new”. Charismatic Christians in traditions like that of my past are eternally optimistic...instinctively believing that God is always about to be ‘up to something new’. Sure, sometimes God does something new in fairly innocuous ways and then other times...He does something crazy...like that whole Toronto Blessing thing...where sanctuaries full of ‘spirit filled believers’ pass...

Recycle Your Faith

Yesterday I had the opportunity to sit down with Craig Spinks of Recycle Your Faith and Quadrid Productions and do a little interview about my journey through my faith. It was a very cathartic experience. We chatted about thoughts, experiences, and changes in my faith, and my views on what's important. The interview was a part of a larger interview with Emerging Desert, and Joy, Jim, Adam, and Jacob all contributed as well. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product. Craig and his wife, Sara, have been...

Use Sexual Innuendo to Learn a New Language! [Funny]

My friend Sarah Gonski writes on her blog about a recent experience with Meetup.com and a Spanish learning group: The Mister and I have been working hard on our Spanish. Both of us have always wanted to speak another language, and we currently nurture dreams for the not-too-distant future that include spending lots of time in Spain. Anyway, so we're at the point in our learning where what we really need are live conversations, mainly to help us improve our confidence. So we found a few Spanish meetup groups...

A Six-Pack of House Churches

The Tall, Skinny Kiwi has posted six (well, seven) different types of house churches that we see emerging into the faith landscape. I believe the group I'm involved with, EmDes, would likely fit into the first category. 1 Off-the-grid house churches that intentionally do not want to be known, listed or be on anybody's radar. We find out about them by accident or through opinion polling or sampling, the kind of research George Barna does. These OoCC (out of Church Christians) gatherings contain a lot of the God...

Why I am emergent

I might consider this a coming out of sorts. Certainly, many people close to me know of my involvement with Emerging Desert. This post is for the rest of you, but it's mostly for my own ability to write things out and have an explanation for my thoughts. A few years ago I was a part of what many would consider a megachurch. I was on staff there, I worked there, and I was deeply involved. But there came a point when I couldn't be involved as much as I might have liked, due to college and work. When this happened...

Emerging Desert trip to Flagstaff

Unfortunately, I didn't get to go on this trip, but Tara has shared some photos from the trip on Flickr!I really want to talk about Joy's experience on Friday night. Below is a copy of the blog she wrote about it: "Church Is Here!" Joining a few of our EmDes friends and families in Flagstaff for the weekend was an an event I had been anticipating for several weeks. Hanging out with people I love and enjoy so much...all under one roof, for 2 nights, in a climate reflecting 'true fall' temperatures...with our days...
