10 Blogs that will have you Wrestling with God

 So for those of you who are just starting to look outside of traditional Christianity, I have compiled a brief list of 10 blogs that you might find challenging. When I first began to "emerge" from the "silo", I felt alone and had no one to really talk to. No one to ask who I should be reading to answer some of my questions, or give me new questions. So I want to give you what I didn't have, a head start.

This is by no means a comprehensive list. Also, it's not really a top 10 either (sorry authors), I merely wrote down the first 10 names that came to my mind in no particular order. These are people who regularly make me question or make me mad, so I'm always returning to their blog. I do not agree with everyone on this lists theology and I'm sure they would not mine. I'm sure they would not with each other as well...lol. But they are all brilliant men, outside the box thinkers, and consistently contribute to their blogs.

I will do another list soon if this generates a good response. There is a ton of good blogs out there. Who do you think should be on my next list?

Starting a series on "Offensive Grace". This is part #1. Leave your comments. Let's discuss it.

"A Fathers Love"

Our very first Vlog post to celebrate the start of year 2! Year One was more successful than we ever  anticipated! We have grown to an average of 1200 readers a month! Thank you all so much for the support. We are hoping you will feel like sharing the videos even more than you have the blog posts and we can see 2 or 3k a month start coming through ;-)

See Grapplers Church in Action! (Video)

Would love some feedback on our new promo!

Incredible & Creative G.O.S.P.E.L. Video

I've sat and watched this video a couple of times now. I'm thinking of using it in one of our small group meetings. The message is simple yet profound and the delivery is incredible! Listen to it a few times and try to pick out one line that really sticks with you. It's pretty cool. Enjoy.

Am I going to Hell for getting more tattoos?

This Thursday, I am going in for my 10th tattoo and yes I am an ordained and practicing minister. I've lost count of how many my beautiful wife has. And most disturbing, we often get our kids fake tattoos at carnivals! Many Christians are doing it these days and many are still opposed. Here is a great video for you to "wrestle" with God over the idea that tattoos will send you to hell.

And how about a couple pics of our tattoos ;-)

Two!
