Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

John 17 once again. I’m going through verses 20-26. Jesus’ prayer is so important to me. We see here a glimpse of what He longs for in His church. I really want to understand what He is praying, and even for me in this passage, so that I can live up to what He desires.…

I’m getting lost in Jesus’ prayer before He went to the cross (John 17). It seems like He’s talking in circles. Maybe He is. The power of God’s name intrigues me. It’s powerful enough to protect, bring unity, give joy, and display truth. It calls us out of what we know into something we might…

It sure has been a while since I’ve posted anything. Hope I can get into the habit of sharing more with you. Today marks a turning point for my life. For a long time I’ve wrestled with a certain passage in the Bible: Philippians 1:21a “For to me, to live is Christ…” That means life…

We’ve started a new ministry at our church I’m really excited about. This new ministry is a way to help us worship every day.
