Fly Fishing Nor Cal
I specialize in fly fishing from a drift boat on the Lower Sacramento or wading the Upper Sacramento RiverNorthern California has some of the best fly fishing in the United States without the crowds that many of the rivers in Montana, Colorado, and Alaska attract. With year-round fisheries for trout, steelhead, striper, and more, it’s hard to imagine a better location for those who love fly fishing!
If you want to get out, you can book me through Confluence Outfitters.
Be Careful: Misrepresentation Quickly Backfires!
This is going to be a bit more "personal" in scope, but I think there is theological twist, as well as touching sociological and political themes too. So let's drive right in. I observed an interesting phenomenon the past couple of weeks. Some friends of ours own a...
The Biblical Counseling Movement After Adams, by Heath Lambert
Allow me to make several introductory remarks regarding this "review." First, it's not going to really be a critical review in the sense of evaluation because I simply am totally out of my league here. My theological training did not include a lot of work related to...
Research, Reflect, Write (Repeat)
I haven't been blogging much because I'm focusing most of my extra energy towards some research and writing for a paper I'm going to submit and hopefully present at the Society of Vineyard Scholars' annual meeting (April 26-28 in Minneapolis, MN). This year's theme is...

The Elephant Room 2: Round-ups, Live-blogging, & My Impressions…
Today's #ElephantRoom event was a smashing success. I will be reflecting on what was discussed and shared for weeks to come, and look forward to more healthy discussions that come from the event. I am very glad I attended the simulcast in MN. Here's a quick round-up...
Tomorrow I’m @ The Elephant Room!
Not the Elephant Room, but I'm attending a simulcast in Minneapolis, MN. I'm looking forward to hearing the conversation between Driscoll and T.D. Jakes regarding the Trinity, as well as hoping Steve Furtick will comment on the issues related to Matt Chandler's recent...
“NeoReformed” is the new “Hyper-Calvinist”
As I've been thinking through the responses to my question, "Who are the NeoReformed?" (an open invitation for you to weigh in on). I've got to be honest, no one who uses that term has given me an answer. Lots of great comments though. When Scot McKnight writes that...
An Open Invitation: Who Are the “NeoReformed”?
Those who are opposed to the young Reformed movement (think Young, Restless, Reformed) often refer to it as the NeoReformed. Scot McKnight thinks he may have invented that term ("NeoReformed"). His reason for thinking that is because back in 2009 he write a blog on it...
Advice for Helping Doubters…
J. I. Packer writes, "How can one help doubters? First, by explaining the problem area (for doubts often arise from misunderstanding); second, by exhibiting the reasonableness of Christian belief at that point, and the grounds for embracing it (for Christian beliefs,...
Fallacy Fridays: Misuse of Parallels
I had to take a couple weeks off of our Fallacy Fridays series due to the holidays and my recent trip to visit my grandmother. But I'm ready to dig back into some more of the fallacies that are listed in Osborne's The Hermeneutical Spiral. This week we're looking at a...
