An audience of one
In 2005, I preached a three-day revival at a big church in Houston. The meetings started on a Friday, and afterward I took any interested church folks out on the streets to learn real ministry. That night we headed down to Westheimer to talk to the runaways and gutterpunks who lived out there. I arranged Continue reading

Honey in the Carcass
I became a believer in 1990.The day after I converted, I walked into the streets and never really left them.

The First Church of Goshen, Inc.
There was once a people who lived in a place called Goshen — a safe corner of Egypt, close enough to Pharaoh’s wealth to prosper, far enough from his whips to pretend they were still free. They had comfort, routine, and a steady supply of grain. They had peace with empire — and they mistook Continue reading

9th Mark — Reclaiming the Abandoned Places of Empire
Principle The empires of greed have left behind hollow towns and quiet ruins. They stripped the land, drained the people, and then moved their money elsewhere. But the People of the Light do not mourn what the empire abandoned — we reclaim it. Distributism is our rebellion against economic feudalism. It is the divine inversion Continue reading
