About me

Gender Male
Location Indiana
Introduction I am a post-fundamentalist, post-modern pilgrim, who at most professes to be trying to become a Christian (as Kierkegaard would say) as I seek to learn what it means to live as part of a Kingdom where the first is last and the servant is the greatest, and where the least of these is of deep importance.
Interests Reading - philosophy, theology, novels, sociology, history... Guitar/Songwriting - I've written a lot of my own music and have played in some coffee shops here and there. Writing - I am currently working on my first book...
Favorite Movies Anything that makes me think, especially movies that address social or spiritual issues (and especially those that have to do with Africa)... Hotel Rwanda, The Constant Gardener, Shooting Dogs (also about Rwanda), Schindler's List, Syriana, Bruce Almighty, The Village, Crash, Casablanca, Fight Club, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Shawshank Redemption, The Matrix, Rabbit-Proof Fence, The Green Mile, I Am Sam, Truman Show...
Favorite Music I listen to just about anything, but usually I wind up listening to folk and indie artists like Bob Dylan, Sufjan Stevens, Andrew Osenga, Over the Rhine, Jill Phillips, U2 (ok, so I know they don't really fit), Derek Webb, Sara Groves, Matthew Perryman-Jones...
Favorite Books Scripture, Les Miserables, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Who's Afraid of Postmodernism? by James K.A. Smith, anything by C.S. Lewis (especially the Great Divorce), Dallas Willard, Donald Miller, N.T. Wright, Frederick Buechner, G.K. Chesterton, Brian McLaren, ... just too many to list!
