Nerd Culture from a Christian Perspective and Vice Versa
This really isn’t the end of The Christian Nerd, though as I wrote about this week, it is the end of a season. I’ve been running The Christian Nerd for six and a half years and at this point I need a little break. I’ve got some other projects to work on, but I plan
This will probably be my last #TBT post for a while, so I thought I’d throw it all the way back to the beginning and my very first post at The Christian Nerd. Star Wars is our great modern mythology. Most people probably know more about Luke Skywalker’s struggles against the Empire than they do
I’ve been going to church my entire life and I have been fairly serious about following Christ since I was 14. In the past 20 years, I have learned that being more committed to Christ means spending more time with Christ. That’s obviously not an earth-shattering observation; it’s actually rather simple. However, regardless of its
For six and a half years I never really thought about taking a break from The Christian Nerd. Back in January of 2011 I had no idea that I would write over 1,600 posts and record over 100 episodes of a podcast. To that point, my blogging endeavors had been less than consistent without any

A year and a half ago I wrote a post about packing up all of my stuff. This week I’ve been unpacking all of my stuff, including my vast collection of HD-DVDs. As a sign of growth, I threw out my HD-DVD collection. Part of leaving my job as a youth pastor and pursuing speaking and writing
I spent pretty much the entire day yesterday unpacking and getting our new apartment settled. We’re making progress, there are fewer boxes strewn about than there were, but our dining room is still completely packed with unpacked boxes. That being said, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to write about the 13th Doctor. On Sunday morning
I don’t think Throwback Tuesday is a thing, but I’m exhausted. Alycia and I moved into an apartment on Monday, which meant I spend the better part of 13 hours packing, moving boxes, moving furniture and unpacking. Here’s a #TBT post about moving, why it sucks and why it’s great to have friends. Moving sucks. This
When I was growing up I always thought that Israel’s desire for a king was a bad thing. Obviously, it would have been better for Israel to solely trust in God as their king instead of wanting to be like the nations around them. However, when I was in seminary, one of my classes helped
I’ve pretty much had two best friends since I was 19. We’ve spent countless hours together playing Monopoly, hanging out in Vegas and watching sports together. We’ve also had countless conversations about life, girls, family, children and God. I’m lucky to have not only one friendship like that, but two. As lucky as I’ve been
