I’ve had a blast playing with my new cousins and aunts/uncles. I’ve found the language barrier doesn’t exist when it comes to boys and toy cars. Hours passed before I realized how long I’d been playing with my wife’s cousin Mateo. Cute kid. But even in all the fun…I didn’t realize how much I needed…

Can you defend what you do? Last night I went with my wife’s uncle to feed the homeless in a small town in Argentina. He and his wife were addicted to cocaine before God changed their lives. Now they go each week around town to feed the homeless. They’ve never missed a week in six…

Argentine steak is lauded as some of the best meat in the world. I agree. My wife’s uncle made a huge Argentine asado (barbecue) for us the other day. I ate my weight in sausage and beef. If I lived here I’d eat steak every day. It’s my delicacy. But do you know what his…

I’ve been meeting my wife’s family in Argentina. So far they’ve all been incredible and super-accomodating to my less-than-perfect Spanish. They’ve been slowing down and using simpler words so I can follow the conversations. But one of my new cousins is a pre-teen girl. I can barely understand pre-teen girls in English. But in Spanish?!…

Curating is a pretty popular concept floating around the Christian creative community. Curating is more about using the tools and ideas around you rather than creating everything from scratch. As a one-man creative team, I’ve had to learn the art of curation. I’ve learn to manage and take advantage of resources instead of buckling under…

I love hymns. They are brilliantly written and theologically delicious. In fact, they’re a result of some serious forward-thinking. But just because I love hymns, it doesn’t mean I think we should do them in our churches. It’s easy to forget that most of the hymns in our hymn arsenal were a result of young…
DetailsPeople love cats and Dubstep videos. They’re some of the most popular videos on the web. While it may not be creative or cutting edge to make a cats and Dubstep video, you can be sure people will like it. Sometimes you just gotta give the people what they want.
I was interviewed last week by a new friend from Brazil. He asked me, “How do you deal with so many projects – a full-time job, a few blogs, and a magazine?” I suppose that does seem like some major projects. But I don’t really feel that busy. This is why. Vilfredo Pareto noticed an interesting…
