"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." / Aristotle


This is one of my favorite, favorite quotes. I have it on a "sticky" on my mac desktop and scrawled in the front of my idea book. I keep it constantly in front of me (even though the handwritten font is branded on my memory) because of the simple, heavy truth of this statement...especially when we make one little switch: change out excellence for creativity. No offense intended to the im… Continue

Curating Visuals in New Zealand

I recently returned from spending two week in New Zealand, hanging out with the one and only Mark Pierson!


Every Monday night, Mark Pierson curates a worship gathering called "Transient". It's unlike any worship event you've probably been to. There's no stage, no band, no "front". It's not meant for a large crowd but designed and hand-crafted for just a few. You won't hear any well-known worship song

In Nairobi, Churches Have Become Louder than Clubs


Did anyone else catch the story on Tuesday from NPR Music about gospel music, churches, and clubs in Nairobi, Kenya? The most popular music in Nairobi now is gospel music, where it's also being played and danced to in clubs. (For years, American country music was extremely popular in Nairobi. Go figure!)



"There's a big divide between the youth that are taking over the gospel scene, and their dancing, and a lot of the older gene

Wow, Tom. That was very poignant. Some of your thoughts remind me of that movie "Pay It Forward". I also think about local church models: large vs. small. Typically, the larger church attempts to make a big splash and impact many at once. This is u…

I think it is much easier to pray for or want peace on a global or macro level and much harder to look into the mirror and pray and ask for peace in our own hearts. When we find peace with God we become a beacon of peace to our children, wife, husba…

I was sitting at my table, eating my breakfast cereal and minding my own business when WHAM! An overwhelming peace came over me. I don't think it was from God - it wasn't that good - and yet the calm that I experienced was tangible. And, the usual…

Traditionally we had the sermon as central. Singing and scripture was around that with singing a very important part. Now I am not sure- performance?? We had many praise bands, and many different songs that get played. Do we sing. Not really. Not su…

In New Zealand Advent comes as Summer is full tilt. I don't find it stressful. I love it! I have so many wonderful memories of Advent Moments that its hard to know what to share. 1. I have described this in more detail in the book "The Art of Curati…
