change, hill, Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh is a city that has a hill.  A really tall hill.  And when you are up on top of that really tall hill, you get amazing views of the city.

It doesn’t matter the weather.  You just have to stop and look.

It’s amazing what you can see.

Lesson for church: People are like cities – there’s so much variety that is right there in front of us.  But how often do we just keep going without looking?  What are we missing?  What are they missing by not being inside?  Or is there fear of how things might change?  Only things that are alive change and adjust.  Dead things decompose – which is a form of change, but different.

Arnarholl, hill, Iceland, Reykjavik, view

From up atop Arnarholl, you get some amazing views of part of Reykjavik.

You can see HARPA

That’s great and all, but I love looking out over the other places – the places that contain everyday life, like this:

It’s the harbor.  Life continues to roll on as it has every day for centuries.  The technology might change, but life keeps going on.

I believe that God, church, and theology are approachable, enjoyable, and relevant for everyone. I write about this a lot because people need to hear it. So many people feel lost, hopeless, alone, and are searching for identity and meaning. I'm an ELCA Pastor (Lutheran) who has a background in politics, business, and the non-profit worlds. I take churchy theological ideas and words and communicate them in everyday language that people can understand, in ways that relate, and show that God, church, and theology matter a great deal. Oh, and it doesn't have to be boring either - mostly because it's the best news ever!
