What is poverty and how do we confront it? Our answer will depend largely on our culture. Even more so, our answers will depend on our economic and social class within the local and global community. But our question remains with a bit of a twist, what is real poverty and how do we as Christians confront it. In an age where our Christian faith has become a synchronistic version of western

To many of you I owe a promised update, to others I owe a thank you for sharing your resources with me. But to you all I am even more indebted to the love you have shown me as we seek to be faithful to our calling to love YHWH and love others.The past nine months have been exciting and demanding. Upon finishing the ’06 Spring Tour with Invisible Children I slept on a friend’s couch and set out to

I have been asking myself "what is true christian conversion? what is it that we are called to and what are we calling the rest of the world to?" As a way to jump start some conversation related to that question I would like us to do two things:watch the below videopost our thoughts, comments, reactions, etc. to this videoMay we be mutually encouraged by one another's faith.Jim Wallis joins

It's finally up!Tonight, I pushed the bedtime back to 10:30 and was able to get my resume online for easy downloading and sharing. This is important because it is my first in many tangible steps toward using design and creative problem-solving for a greater good.With a cover letter, resume, three examples, and my contact information my 'resume' demonstrates my technical as well as creative

Why I have long feared the pursuit of my creative problem solving abilities as they relate to design…I did not want to spend my time creating letterheads, logos, or business cards or create attention for things that do not matter. I looked at the design industry and saw a “profession [who’s] time and energy [was] used up manufacturing demand for things that are inessential at best.” I saw a

“Today I decided to become an activist, tomorrow I’ll begin to make the changes.” Seems so witty. Truth: today I discovered I am an activist and that has made all the difference. The difference of course being an understanding of the actions I’ve made my entire life and of the feelings and thoughts flooding my being. Tomorrow will be filled with the same decisions I made yesterday and today,

1_To the non-profits out there: what if we created sustainable solutions to our funding nightmares? How great would it be to not worry about developing donor buy-in? What if we spent some energy and money on creative ways to provide jobs and fund our revolution? I recently read an article about such an idea and I'm curious to know your thoughts.

Thirty-seven million people live in poverty in the United States.In 2004, the average poor family eked by on an income of $10,007.More than 1 billion people around the world live in extreme poverty (less than $1 per day), and more than 2 billion live on less than $2 per day.According to the U.N., the majority of the people in poverty are women, who globally earn roughly half as much as

Its one of those nights when the awkward cushions on the couch don’t cut it, the thin layer of cheap carpet over a slab of concrete just isn’t soft enough, the chairs on the patio are about 6 inches too short, and the rhythm of crickets and fans is all too over played kind of like musical phrases “hit me baby one more time” and “don’t tell my heart…” Rather than counting, I find myself talking to

Like all good things, the National Tour: Suburban Safari had to come to an end. But it was nothing less than an inspiring, life-altering, three month adventure. I dropped everything in my life from January until July to join this adventure, and to inspire people in every region of the country through the stories of the children of northern Uganda. It wasn’t easy, and I got to endure setbacks like

Oh what we can learn from Africa. Except as a geographical appellation, Africa does not exist. In fact, it is a geographical area full of people each with their own ideas, dreams, talents, and desires. So what can we learn from a people striving for survival? Their life is endless toil, a torment it seems they endure with astonishing patience and good humor. A swollen belly and lack of one

I have learned over the past 5 years there is nothing more beautiful than a person. People we are the most beautiful part of this world. Trees, plants, animals, flowers while each has its own unique quality and adds to the beauty of this world people just bring a bit more to the table.I find more beauty in a wrinkle on the “perfect” collar shirt, peach fuzz on a girl’s upper lip, and a rock star

I am walking the great buildings and halls at Duke University, such a place to have in mind “ivy” league schools. The architecture here allows one to dream up their great plans to change the world.

Roger Hazelton considers current theology to be in the second of the three natural phases. At the core of its purpose, this second phase seeks “the rediscovery and repossession of vast territories of human culture” which have long gone unnoticed or engaged by the Christian intelligence. Current theology, now exist in conversations with the rest of human culture. Conversations in the sense that

So here we are in Orono Minnesota. We are here to pick up our last RV for the National Tour. We arrived yesterday afternoon with a major change in plans awaiting us. Things are never as easy as they ought to be when death gets involved.story made short: the man donating his nice RV for three months has spent the last 5-days in the hospital with his dieing mother. we were supposed to arrive sat.
