Letchworth State Park, new york, Overlook

One of the things you can count on at Letchworth State Park are overlooks.  They seem to be everywhere along the gorge.  And with good reason.  They give great views of the gorge.

And it doesn’t hurt that the overlooks are scenic themselves too.

Lesson for church: Church has the advantage of standing out and seeing things from a different perspective.  Like when Jesus says “You have heard it said to love your neighbors and hate your enemies, but I say to you love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”  If we don’t speak these words, where else are they going to be spoken?

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!
