I grew up hearing: "The Bible says it. That settles it. I believe it."
The problem with that is I had lots of questions!
I deconstructed my faith without throwing out baby Jesus with the bath water.
I reconstructed my faith in Seattle with Gary Irby (Northwest Church Planting) , Dave Bruskas (Acts 29), and Norm Finch followed by 12 1/2 years with Erwin McManus in Los Angeles (Mosaic), and the past 12 years with John Burke in Austin (Gateway).
I have a M.Div. from Golden Gate Seminary, and a D.Min. in Entrepreneurial Leadership from Bethel Seminary.
There is beauty in the mystery of God!
Follow me as we read through the New Testament in one year - 1 chapter a day, 5 chapters a week.
