    Skit: “So You Want to Be His Disciple?”

    Skit: “So You Want to Be His Disciple?”

    “It strikes me that the church has rarely taken seriously the definition of discipleship used by Jesus in Luke 9:23, particularly in the Pauline sense of being crucified with Christ — daily! What might it look like to do that, without falling back into religious clichés?”

    Does Anybody Really Want to Be HIS Disciple?

    Now, I don’t know about y’all… but that don’t exactly sound like a marketing slogan. That’s not, ‘Your Best Life Now.’ That’s more like, ‘Come Die With Me, Season One.’

    Wilberforce: We Need Perfume Breakers, Not New Wine Brokers

    Wilberforce: We Need Perfume Breakers, Not New Wine Brokers

    New wine is not a better law. It is not a more ethical framework, nor a more inclusive rulebook. It is the living presence of Christ Galatians 2:20—wild, liberating, uncontrollable. And He cannot be sold, only received. He cannot be managed, only magnified.

    What is “Ecosystem?” Pattern Language for a Post-Institutional Kingdom

    What is “Ecosystem?” Pattern Language for a Post-Institutional Kingdom

    The “ecosystem” is a term coined by Joel McGill in the early 2020s to describe something new we are seeing in the Body of Christ. By definition, this is not something we own or control. Rather, this is our attempt to characterize our “piece of the elephant” as we connect…

    Embracing Our Inner Jackass: Blockers on the Way to Christ-like Love

    Picture this: a frustrated wanderer on a donkey, yelling at his own brain, surrounded by lawless mercenaries. It feels more like Shrek or some wild fable than a spiritual reflection. Yet this is the imaginative entry point into the Angel Approach Memos—specifically, the Jackass series.
