puzzled wired jesus podcast postmodern baby

You would think after five years of doing this, there wouldn’t be issues but something seems to be going on with WordPress and Itunes with their upgrades in the past few months. The good news? The RSS feed in Itunes is working, so if you subscribe to Itunes, you should have received yesterday’s podcast. The bad news? The new podcast isn’t updated yet on the Itunes page for Wired Jesus. In fact, it only shows episode #48. Don’t know what all that means. However, the show is going out and that’s what counts.

If you have the chance, go to the Itunes page and post some comments and ratings. Most of your comments over the years have been on the blog or some of the podcasting directories. A few new ones on Itunes would be appreciated.

I am moses postmodern wired jesus

Here is a new podcast I’ved called I AM, We Are – play on the the Hebrew name of of God and the nature of being a discipling community, the Church. I begin with my recent confirmation camp experience, painting a picture of the faith journey of millenials out of an exercise one of the other pastors had them do. I then connect them to the web page IAmSecond.com, an example of postmodern faith-telling.

One step closer to episode #50, which I think is going to be on Facebooking Faith.

banned bible wired jesus christian postmodern

If San Diego County is trying to generate some extra income to balance their deficit, taxing home bible studies is a poor choice. First, most American Christians don’ go to bible studies, so you are dealing with a small group to tax. Second, there is that whole First Amendment thing about the free exercise of religion. But we are talking about government officials, not people with any inkling of real life.

Seriously, this is a real story.

Nothing like pacing one’s podcasts. This one is about a great podcast mediocre sound quality called Napkin Scribbles with Len Sweet. Len is often called a church futurist, prophet, or, if you like the status quo of living in a church of the 1950s, a pain in the butt. Although we have only met a few times, I call him a mentor and a guide in steering me to some of the best resources and people for navigating a postmodern mission field. Len understands not only where emerging generations are coming from, he understands what the church needs to do if it is to stay relevant. So he spends a great deal of time writing and coaching for pastors.

One way he does this is through a podcast called Napkin Scribbles, a free form reflection done every few days as he has time. Using a portable MP3 recorder, he does his napkin scribbles in airport terminals, hotel lobbies, or any chance he has to switch on. While the sound is not polished, that’s not really the point – the point is real conversation about following Jesus: how some are getting it right, how some are really screwing it up, and what some of us can learn from what Len experiences.

To get this podcast out, I took the same approach and taped this using my trusty digital recorder and then recording it into my trusty MacBook Pro. Not the greatest sound quality but depending on your feedback, something I may try every now and then to shoot out a podcast more frequently. Let me know what you think.

In honor of the Hubble getting fixed this week to improve magnification by 70x, here is one of my favorite devotional books. The Hand of God is a collection of Hubble photos match with quotes about the journey of faith in such a vast universe. I highly recommend checking it out. Click on the link below to find it for $10.85 on Amazon – a real steal.

Quote of the Day

orthodox monk - emergent

I posted this on Twitter but I can give the full story here. John Armstrong was at a Greek Orthodox monastery with an ecumenical group for some interaction. During one break time one of the evangelical visitors went up to a monk and asked, “Have you made your decision to make Jesus your personal Lord & Savior?”

The beardd old monk smiled and said, “No, I prefer to share Him.”

After the joy of Easter comes this reminder that the Christendom world is dead and welcome back to the 1st Century. Looking at this new story, it seems even the White House going a step beyond portraying Christians as freaks or fundamentalist crazies. When the White House asks a Catholic university to cover the name icon of Jesus “IHS” and they willingly comply, you wonder what Jesuit education has come to and why the President would even request it. When when have the president reinterpret the parable of the house built on the rock as a lesson on economics but neither reference Jesus or the religious nature of the school who had invited him, that says something to.

Welcome to post-Christendom where we are no longer mocked, we are unwelcome and the cross must be hidden by the flag. Makes discipleship look far more serious than a church membership.
