My favorite blog, iamjoshbrown.com has recently been doing a series of writings entitled, “The Evolutionary Trajectory of the Story of God” — yes, it’s a mouthful.

So, as I prepare to leave for the next three weeks, I wanted to leave you guys with links to Josh Brown’s set of essays. For a long time I’ve [...]

Adam Walker Cleveland of Pomomusings has posted the question “What is Church?” It’s early yet, so the responses at the time of this post are few, but head over there and see what people think — and even chime in yourself.

There are a lot of updates that will be happening over the next couple of days — including, but not limited to:

color/font format changes
overall front-page layout
Full implementation of new features (Café Talk, Epinoia Art, Epinoia.TV, etc.)
re-implementation of “recent headlines” & “recent comments”

Just a quick note for you guys on some upcoming changes for the site.
When Epinoia Café started in November, it was strictly a blog with a few authors. It quickly grew to several authors with a lot of fantastic conversation. However, over the last couple of months, Epionia has become more than a blog — [...]

I’ve come across a couple of good blogs the last few days, and I felt like passing them along.

I felt that it was particularly relevant to the Epinoia community — I read it to [...]

Details about the Epinoia Road trip.
Saturday, 11:12 a.m.
Here’s some notes from our morning thus far with Brian McLaren who’s morning focused on “Emerging Neighborhood Mission,” particularly in the third world — yet with plenty of relevance to American culture.

God reveals himself in unique, specific, and local ways (we [...]

Because Anthony and myself will be on the Epinoia Road Trip, and away from Emerald this Sunday (I’m relevant because I do the media stuff) — and because of the tragedy at Virginia Tech this past week, we’ve put together a multimedia slide show for the congregation. We thought we would share it here with [...]

The following is an amazing excerpt from Bill Kinnon, who’s post I discovered via Josh Brown’s blog.
We are people - flesh and blood - image bearers of the Creator - eikons, if you will. We are not numbers.
We are the eikons who once sat in the uncomfortable pews or plush theatre seating of [...]

I remember reading a comment (and I thought it was here on Epinoia, but I’ve been unable to find it) about the bibles “law” that if a man raped a woman, he was to take her on as his wife — which lead to the question of how is that law of a loving God?
Last [...]

All of us are spirtual leaders in one form or another, so I think (and hope) you’ll find the following excerpt from a Rick Warren article as fulfilling as I did.
The excerpt comes from The Christian Post found via a fantastic blog, Church Relevence.

Open your mind to God.
If you’re going to do this, you’ve got [...]
