O Me of Little Faith

Saturday, September 19, was the 12th anniversary of Rich Mullins’ death in 1997. A lot of my younger readers may not have heard of him, but he had profound influence on me as a writer, a musician, and a Christian. I didn’t post anything on Saturday, but thought I’d start the week off by re-running…

Everyone’s talking about (and watching) the Oprah/Black Eyed Peas flash mob event last week in Chicago. Which is pretty cool, if you haven’t seen it. (It’s not officially a flash mob, though, since the mob is really supposed to show up, do something, and then disperse.) But anyway, lots of fun if you haven’t seen…

I’m working on a project and need your help. It’s about Christianity, questions/problems related to it, and reasons why some people don’t buy into it. I’m looking for feedback from people who are either a) atheists, agnostic, or otherwise non-believers…or… b) Christians who doubt or struggle with their faith. This is not a question for…

Wanna win a full set of the new Pocket Guide books? My friend and fellow writer Matthew Paul Turner is giving away two sets of the three books (Pocket Guides to the Bible, the Afterlife, and Sainthood). All you have to do is comment on this post by finishing this sentence: Jason’s NEXT Pocket Guide…

Thanks, everyone, for sponsoring and encouraging me with this weekend’s Tri to Make a Difference triathlon. I quadrupled my fundraising goal and improved upon last year’s time by nearly 10 minutes. Success all around. First, thank you to my friends and family members who donated to Children’s Miracle Network on my behalf. I set my…

I had another post in mind today, but decided it can wait until Monday. The photo above is of injured firefighters being treated after the Twin Towers collapse. It’s by Justin Lane, who was working as a photographer for the New York Times on 9/11. This photo won the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography…

Today is September 9, 2009, which means it’s another nerd holiday: 09/09/09. Depending on your perspective, we won’t see another set of repeating dates until October 10, 2010 (10/10/10), and no repeating single-digit dates until January 1, 2101 (01/01/01). So clearly, this is a day when you need to get your fill of mystical events…

Back in January, I stated that one of my goals for 2009 was to participate in and complete three triathlons. I did one in June and another in July, and now it’s time for the last one. This is the big one of the season for the Amarillo triathlon community. Last year was my first…

Do people read blog posts on Labor Day? I don’t. But maybe you do. In that case, today’s post is but a simple question for you to answer in the comments. I’m guessing there are a lot of common, daily things that my readers have never done. I want you to tell me what they…

As many of you know, my next book is not a Pocket Guide, but a more personal book from Zondervan titled O Me of Little Faith: True Confessions of a Spiritual Weakling. It’s about my personal struggles with spiritual doubt — where they come from, what kind of impact the have, and how I’m learning…
