Finding Organic Church in Evansville, IN

Hey guys. This morning I want to take a minute to share what’s going on in the community of believers my wife and I are a part of. I’m also hoping that this blog post will specifically reach others in my area.

This post is not an argument against established institutional churches or ministries. If you are content where God has you then that’s awesome. I don’t want to convince you otherwise. This is simply a small overview of my journey and an invitation to others that are searching for the same thing.

The Pre-Eminent Mark of a Life Governed by the Spirit

What Is Genuine Christianity?

I recently started reading Jesus Manifesto by Frank Viola and Leonard Sweet again. If you’ve never read this book I highly recommend you check it out. The way they present Jesus Christ as “all” is simply incredible. I greatly appreciate their work to make Jesus Christ truly central and supreme in all things.

I won’t go into a full-fledged book review right now or anything. I just want to share one of the best explanations of Christianity that I’ve ever heard or read.
