Hey! Ah, I love it man – let’s take off the masks and talk about REAL LIFE!

First – why are you shocked that I’d visit Free Chapel? We’ve visited numerous times, and have many friends there. (some of which I know READ here but don’t comment – chicken, bah, bah, bah).

With easy passing year, I get more and more discontent with “religious labels”, “movements”, etc … but to answer your question the best I can .. yes, if I had to “label myself” and how I believe, interpret Scripture, and walk out my faith, I would definitely be put in a more “charismatic” vein of the Christian faith. I don’t really like that label, and there is lots of stuff I have seen in “charismania” that makes me puke, then again, lots of stuff in traditional and denominational walks that cause the same. And of course, there are things I celebrate from both.

I grew up in the Methodist church, have led worship and ministered in the Methodist church quite a bit, have been on staff in 100% die-hard Charismatic churches, and now serve on a staff of 20+ wonderful people who share multiple interpretations and beliefs of various doctrinal issues, but who all come together and agree on the “main thing”, the core Gospel of Jesus Christ, those things we’d say in the “Apostles Creed”.

Thanks for the question, Pastuh … I think I should start a “whatcha wanna know” post, and let people ask some questions! I’ve seen that a lot, and always thought it would be fun.

Dave is going to be here in town for his Live event next Saturday and I have Platinum tickets. I hope to get the opportunity to meet him face to face!
