This past Sunday at New Hope, we kicked off a new series of teachings called, "Crossroad: A Theological Praxis from the Streets". This new series will focus on developing a theology rooted in the streets as exemplified by Christ's interaction with humanity during his time here on earth. As a former professor of theology and ministry for 9 years, I was able to see and experience some of the disconnect between the theology formed in academia from that of practitioners ministering in the field. Although much good is produced from the ivory tower, I believe there needs to be some more field-based development of our theological lenses.

This series is designed to encourage, challenge, and inspire the hearer to reconsider the stories of Christ's interaction with people on the streets in hopes of developing a practical theology for day-to-day ministry, especially outside the walls of the church. I invite you to listen and interact via this blog about the topics introduced during this series.

Yesterday at New Hope, we continued our series of teachings entitled, "Sacred Kinship". The focus of this series centers around this notion of biblical kinship and its impact on how we live our faith within the context of family, friendship, community, and mission. I'm anticipating that this series will help to frame a healthy context for life with those we love.

Mike Foster, founder of Ethur and the Junky Car Club, helped to kick off a new series of teachings at our church (New Hope) focused around the issues of poverty and faith. As a long time friend to New Hope, it is always encouraging whenever Mike comes by to share his heart with our community.

Mike, who recently published a book entitled the Deadly Viper Character Assassins (a book about character and leadership), spoke on the real presence of the Bling, Bling Assassin and our need for identifying what is "enough". You'll have to listen to understand what Mike is referencing here. :)
