And from the ashes…
For the two or three of you who may still find yourself checking up on here, I got a (paid!) writing gig over at Examiner.com. I am the new “St. Louis Reformed Christian Examiner,” which is a mouthful for doing exactly what I did here but specifically for the St. Louis region. If you are interested in checking in, my home page is here:

Once again, thanks to everyone who read, commented, argued, debated and dialoged. It’s been a blast and I hope to continue them over at Examiner.
Hey all, as Luke noticed in our last post, we have been “uncharacteristically quiet.”
We have a sad, but promising announcement: Confessions of a Seminarian as we now know it, is coming to an end.
Why? Well, Mike and I have led the charge on this bad boy for almost 2 years now, and let me tell you, it has been a labor of great love. The last couple months have been particularly hard to keep up because we have been brought on board as interns of a new church plant in St. Louis, called “City Church.” (Once the website gets up, we’ll be sure to post a link and other information on here) We have hoped to accomplish many things with this blog. But most importantly we hoped to facilitate a community where thoughts and ideas might be exchanged in a spirit of love, where truth might show through our imperfect means of communication and community. As this church plant continues to ramp up and demand more of our time, we simply cannot commit the time and energy that vision requires.
That said, we are searching for other seminarians with this mindset who may take up the charge and take our place. Mike and I hope to return as readers and responders, we certainly do not intend to cut off ties with the awesome relationships we’ve built here! Facebook us. Email us. If you are ever in St. Louis, you have at least one place to stay! My wife and I have a new blog (albeit with a much different focus) and you are all welcome there!
Until we find those people, we will probably not post on here too often. I’ll probably throw up a few interesting links once in a while, or maybe something I’ve written on my personal blog. But otherwise, we will be pretty quiet. We thank you all for the insanely stimulating discussion! I cannot begin to express how much I have learned from you all, especially those of you who I’ve most disagreed with! This has been a real journey for me, especially since I started writing on hered during my first semester at Covenant Seminary.
Mark Driscoll: In God We Do Not Trust
After having some great dialog about politics, theology, and faith over the last few days, Mark Driscoll goes and writes a breif article that summarizes everything I’ve been trying to say. Check this out:
In my years of pastoral ministry I have worked very hard to not be political. I believe that my job as a pastor is to preach and teach the Bible well so that my people make their decisions, including their voting decisions, out of their faith convictions. Read more »
