“The #1 way to lose my attention in a discussion…”

by Luke Geraty | Nov 6, 2008 | Posts

I am proud to die on this hill. If women were the first people commanded to tell of the resurrection, if there were female deacons, and a female apostle, of course I believe that women can and should be pastors @profntwright nails it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=os8M9ln2cM0

If you have to tell someone that you are their leader, you aren’t their leader. If you have to tell someone that they have to trust you, they don’t trust you. #leadership101 #learnfromWimber #leadership

Becoming a theologian doesn’t really mean you transcend tradition but you definitely struggle to belong in one or the other. I’m no longer one (charismatic, evangelical, Anglocatholic etc). I’ve become all of them more intensely and in a way that no longer fits stereotypes..

“No one should die alone, and no one should have “No one should die alone, and no one should have to grieve the loss of their loved ones without the Church close by.” A few years ago those words slipped from my mouth as I was talking to an adult son whose mother had passed away. He was trying to find someone to officiate the funeral and had been turned down by a number of churches because his mom wasn’t a member of those churches. I found that odd. And I still do. I just had the honor of officiating three funerals in the past eight days. I travelled back to the Midwest to honor my good friend Senon and today had the honor of being a part of Wes and Perry’s celebrations of life. Two of these people I knew well and one I didn’t have the privilege of knowing. In MY humble opinion, this is where the Church and pastors are able to step in and shine. And this is where followers of Jesus are able to serve. Senon, I love you and miss you and thank God for having the honor of being your pastor. And I am grateful for you YOU pastored ME and encouraged and supported missions and so much more. Your friendship meant the world to me. Wes, joy marked your life like few others I have seen. Your commitment to Jesus and your love for sharing your faith was so inspiring. I love you and appreciate how kind you were here on earth. Perry, I didn’t get a chance to know you but judging by how much your family and friends love you and celebrated you today, I can tell I would have also loved you! And I we would have fished together, that I am sure of! Twenty years ago, when I officiated my first funeral, I was so scared and intimidated and had no clue about how important being in that space was for those of us in ministry. And now, years later, I can tell you that this is where I see the kingdom of God at work. As people celebrate their loved ones and grieve their loss, there is a special kind of beauty in the midst of these spaces and I am deeply honored to be a part of them. Going from laughter to tears, loss to celebration is… well… inspiring. Senon, Wes, and Perry, God bless you and your loved ones!

My lovely and incredibly kind youngest sister, Chl My lovely and incredibly kind youngest sister, Chloe, has graduated college! We are so proud of you and all of your accomplishments! I will never forget the day you were born and I am *mostly* thankful we can talk almost every day thanks to FaceTime and texting… except when it’s 4am here on the west coast! Haha! LOVE YOU!! ❤️❤️❤️
Allana graduated last night! She finished with a G Allana graduated last night! She finished with a GPA of 4.6 or something ridiculous and earned a bazillion scholarships for the next chapter of her life — attending UC Irvine. She is an Anteater and we are Anteater parents! 🐜🍽 Mom and I couldn’t be any more proud of her! She is amazing! I haven’t cried yet, but I came awfully close and know that by September there will be tears!

“And now you stretched forth your hand from abov “And now you stretched forth your hand from above and drew up my soul out of that profound darkness because my mother, your faithful one, wept to you on my behalf more than mothers are accustomed to weep for the bodily deaths of their children.” — St. Augustine When Augustine gave thanks to God for the prayers of his mother, he put into words what many of us feel about our mothers. I would not know Jesus like I do were it not for my mother. Her prayers and faithful love impacted me in ways I can hardly put into words. And her love for people, especially those who are often overlooked, made an indelible mark upon my soul. I thank God for her daily (and my dad too!). And how can I overlook my sweet, kind, and beautiful Dawn? Mother to our five children here and two in heaven with Jesus. What an amazing women you are! Watching you love our kids has been one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed! What an honor it has been so far... and, Lord willing, I hope for many more! I love you both. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do in my life.

I had a great time hanging with one of my favorite I had a great time hanging with one of my favorite biblical theologians, Dr. Ben Blackwell! Dawn & I joined Ben & his wife, Heather, with our Texas besties Nate & Jessica. Ben co-wrote a FANTASTIC book on engaging theology and you are interested in that topic, check out the podcast I did with him (LINK👆🏻IN👆🏻BIO).
Did you know that 2 out of 5 people suffer from me Did you know that 2 out of 5 people suffer from mental illness? And 15% of the world suffers from some sort of disability (1 BILLION people)? I think churches need to be intentional with both WELCOMING people with disabilities and with INCLUDING them! It's not enough to just engage these beautiful people who are created in God's image -- they must also be given opportunities to use their gifting and abilities to serve God and bless others. I recently recorded a podcast with one of the leading scholars on the subject (Louise Gosbell) and I was so blessed to hear about what the Bible teaches about this subject, how we need to read stories from the Bible In their context, and what churches can do. 👀 YouTube link in bio 👆🏻 If you are curious about how we should think about people with disabilities, how churches could be more intentional toward this group of people, as well as how those of us who believe in healing and who are charismatic can avoid treating people as if they are commodities, THIS PODCAST IS FOR YOU! 🙌🏾 I'd really love to invite any of my friends who are pastors, theologians, biblical scholars, or followers of Jesus who are interested in a really important subject to share, like, and let me know your thoughts on the topic of discussion!
Wanna know what you do when you get Covid? You buy Wanna know what you do when you get Covid? You buy old school games from Amazon and teach ‘em to your kids! I beat Dawn with my smallest ship being last on the board!
He is risen. He is risen, indeed. Happy Easter! L He is risen. He is risen, indeed. Happy Easter! Lots of hard work went into pulling off three services but our team saw hundreds of people, including lots of new faces! Plus people got baptized! Our volunteers are the best, and I want to give a special shout-out to the music team, kids team, greeters and everyone else! Thank you!
