It’s funny the things you remember.
I have this vivid memory of playing at a park with a friend in elementary school. His father sat on a bench reading and keeping an eye on us as we pretended to be Power Rangers.
At one point I looked over and saw him laughing. As I walked by him later I asked him what he had read that had been so funny.
He told me it was The Bible. The Bible had made him laugh.
This startled me. How could someone laugh at The Bible? Continue reading
RadioShack is a brave company.
They’ve heard all the jokes we’ve been making at their expense. They’ve seen the tweets and business articles wondering how they’re still in business. They’ve seen their profits dwindle over the past decade.
So, with a chance to make a splash during the big game this year, RadioShack did this:

After years of irrelevance, RadioShack embraced the criticism about being outdated and vowed to make a change. And they did it in front of the largest television audience of all time.

It’s been almost a year since I launched POP GOD. Creating this blog has been a long-running dream come true for me.
That’s all because of you – the reader. For every one of you who has read, shared, or commented on even one post, thank you. I don’t just write this blog for me. I write with the idea of opening up a conversation about the presence of God in our world. I write to hopefully encourage, inspire and challenge.
I know how many blogs and other sites are competing for your small window of time, and it means the world that anyone would give that time to me for something I wrote.
You put up with a lot of my plugs, with my typos, with bad posts and good posts. Thank you for being patient with me as I grow.
Could you do me one more favor? Could you take 3 minutes and fill out this feedback survey?
I want to make POP GOD a site you’ll keep coming back to. I want POP GOD to be a conversation we have together. I want to grow POP GOD into a community of believers seeking God in the present tense.
Answering these 7 short questions will go a long way in helping me make that possible.
So please be honest. Your answers are anonymous. I’ve got a thick skin – you won’t hurt my feelings with your true opinions. Thanks in advance.

I could not write yesterday.
I woke up early with the intent of using the extra hour of from Daylight Savings to pump out a world-changing, life-affirming blog post for today.
When I sat down to type nothing came out.
Gibberish. Half-sentences. Cliches. Garbage.
I stood up. Ate some yogurt. Read the Bible. Walked the dog. Took a shower. All in the hope that words would come to me.
Still nothing.
I left for church disappointed and defeated by my sole morning task.
Then, as I sat in the service, I saw it. Continue reading
