I first became aware of Jan Cartledge and her band of folks via the internet when I was ranting last fall over a local church and how they chose to spend almost two million dollars. Since then we have kept up a correspondance, she and her husband Tony helped serve drinks at our bash on the Fourth of July and her faith community helped fund a hunk of the celebration. A few weeks ago we sat for coffee and she extended an invitation for me to speak to her community, and I joyfully accepted.

The HomeStar Fellowship describes itself as “a community of Christ followers, seeking to love God and our neighbors. ” In short, my sort of people. It was an awesome time of conversation and questions, with me telling what I do and how I got here and them asking questions about what they can do and how they can work to bring the love of God, as seen through Jesus, to some folks who have had a rough go of it.

Thanks to Jan and all the other Jesus followers at HomeStar for inviting me and for exploring with me ways we can work to make it on earth as it is in Heaven.

By the way, you may have noticed I am speaking a lot more lately. I am very excited to be able to work with curious folks who want to know ways they can work to bring God’s kingdom closer to fruition.  I will speak to pretty much anybody, anywhere. I don’t care if it is two people over lunch or 2000 in an auditorium, I would be delighted to be a part of it. If you are part of a group of Jesus followers who think you might want to hear what I have to say, shoot me an email.
