Hope in Transit
My friends Dave
and Lisa Sprinkle. Ridiculously talented
and creative people. Their “traveling
music school” is an incarnational
ministry that brings hope where hope
isn’t even remotely hoped for. For a
tangible expression of the Kingdom being
brought into the real world, look no
further.
Joel Bidderman
A very good friend.
Insanely talented, as a musician, as a
writer and as a teacher. “Ocean Deep” is
the video on the front page, and I think
its my favorite “worship song” ever.
Third Floor Ministries
Joel’s “vessel of
vocation” with which I am officially
affiliated (for THIS term at least!)
The Lost Dogs
My favorite band. Go to
HERE for a heaping helping of free mp3s.
Daniel Amos
My “other favorite band.” Mr. Buechner’s Dream might be
the greatest album you’ve never
heard of.
Taize
Someday me, Joel and my
pastor/friend/mentor Jon are going to
stop there, on the way to Iona.
Iona
Forget the white rabbit, follow the
wild goose.
Proost
Loads of great electronica
downloads and pdfs. Not free though
L
Renovare
I don’t think I can put into words
the thankfulness I have for Renovare
and the extent to which God has used
it to transform me. If you only get
one “study bible” get the Renovare
Spiritual Formation Bible.
Christian Audio
pay site, but PLENTY of GREAT free
audio downloads. And a free book
every month.
ZOEcarnate
A MIND-BOGGLING amount of AMAZING
counter-cultural Christian links.
THE porthole to adventure.
Music At Mars
Worship at Rob Bell’s church. Free
live album stream.
The OTHER Mars Hill
Tons of free stuff. Some of the best
worship anywhere - downloadable for
free. My FAVORITE is the acoustic
ensemble. The preacher Mark Driscoll
is “Mark the Cussing Pastor” from
Blue Like Jazz. Entertaining
sermons, but sometimes a little too
stodgy and downright weird. But the
WORSHIP at least I can recommend
without hesitation. Wow.
PHX Suns ESPN message board
Sometimes I post there if I get
riled up. I have been a PHX fan
since I was 13. This team has broken
my heart again and again, but I
can’t stop believing that somehow
they’re going to find a way to win
it all. Nash is also my favorite
player. This could be the year, the
eternal optimist in me wants to say.
Plough Publishing
FREE e-books that are definite
quality. Still somewhat of an enigma
to me. I haven’t “ploughed” through
much of what’s there but what’s
there is enough to keep me coming
back for more. For an intro,
download “The Prayer God Answers.”
If it grips you, keep going. The
free Kierkegaard, Muggeridge and
Dostoyevski is pretty cool though.
The Longing
I downloaded it. It’s on my MP3
player. I can’t stop listening to
it, and not just because my friend
Joel helped put it together.
Artfully crafted acoustic warmth.
Well worth the $9.99. (And includes
“Ocean Deep” my previously
aforementioned favorite worship song
ever.)
Ship Of Fools
It’s like “the Holy Observer” for
Brits. Check out the “Biblical Curse
Generator” for hours of fun.
The Wittenburg Door
Neither like or unlike the Onion or the Holy Observer. It
predates them both. It’s its own
thing. And if you get mixed up with
any Ole Anthony “teachings” - don’t
blame me! Enter at your own risk!
KEEP CHECKING BACK - THIS LIST WILL
BE FRUITFUL AND KEEP MULTIPLYING.
