So here I am in Amsterdam at 2:15am CST. But over here it’s 9:15am. My body [...]

Being the Church
Posted on 04. May, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
I love this picture. It’s a picture of the church. It showed up yesterday in The Valley Times under the “Lifestyles” section (which of course is the appropriate place to put this picture rather than the “Religion” section). The caption tells about how several groups came together to help feed some hungry [...]

Been in a lot of conversations lately with friends Brandon Frenzel and Jospeh Nader about the downward journey in following Jesus. Brandon actually wrote a really good post on this you should read.

26.2 miles is a loooooong way to run.
My wife has got some serious guts.
I’m just so proud of Leslie and it was an amazing to watch her prepare over these last 6 months and then accomplish her goal. She ran strong until her [...]

Reframing Temptations
Posted on 05. Mar, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
Temptations. We face them every day and they look different for each of us. But I would say in general that each of us wish that we did not have to face them. imagine how great our life would be if we did not face any temptations at all. But that’s just not the way [...]
