I'm a follower of Jesus of Nazareth. I live in a love-hate relationship with the institutional church. I've been engaged for almost 50 years in what some call deconstruction, but I call a New Reformation. I'm a pastor, church planter, teacher, theological education developer, coach, mentor, writer, spiritual influencer, seminary professor, and...etc, etc, etc.

My passions are discipleship and reconstructing a biblical theology that works for normal people. My central message could be called "A Gospel of Inclusion."
