You don’t read my blog for political commentary — of that I’m pretty certain — but this has been a pretty political week, so I’m gonna cover Sarah Palin for a second. My opinion of her has whiplashed at least three times over the last six days. Friday, August 29: Her candidacy is announced. Wow,…

If you didn’t know, RELEVANT founder Cameron Strang got invited to give the opening invocation from the main stage at the Democratic National Convention. Yep, the national TV broadcast. The DNC is looking to reach out to faith-minded young voters, and because Obama’s campaign has been in touch with RELEVANT a few times, they thought…

Trevin is a pastor, seminary student, theologian, former missionary, writer, and noteworthy theoblogger at Kingdom People.The prospect of…

You know how, back in the day, everyone used to get upset when Christian pop stars like Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith “crossed over” to mainstream radio in order to build their fan base?

If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, you probably know that my last book, Pocket Guide to the Bible — published in 2006 by Relevant — is being repackaged and republished as part of Jossey-Bass’s new Pocket Guide reference series next summer, along with brand-new books Pocket Guide to Sainthood and Pocket Guide to…
