Hey folks – read this from the guys over at Team Pyro on our tendency to fall in love with/idealize celebrity pastors via their mega-conferences/books/blogs/etc. It’s easy to love these”paper pastors”because they’re not exactly real to us…while at the same time ignoring our real pastors who are overworked and underappreciated. If you’re not familiar with [...]
A friend sent this linkhttp://abcnews.go.com/nightline/faceoff to a Nightline debate between Mark Driscoll and Deepak Chopra. I’ll assume most of my readership is familiar with Driscoll – in short I really respect him as an author, pastor, and thinker. I like his work a lot, and I think he’s done a great job in being “real” [...]
Yeah, so evangelicals have a village too. Who knew? At any rate there’s a great guy named Matt Svoboda running the show over there, and he interviewed me recently. Check it out here: http://evangelicalvillage.com/2009/02/24/interview-with-ted-kluck/

So this link was sent to me by a friend, and it made me laugh out loud. And then it made me wonder, “Does this guy go to our church, because he nailedthe URC-wife subculturecompletely.” Well, not exactly completely, but close enough. A video like this is an important stage in the little “young, cool, [...]
A quick Ted Wins. shoutout goes to the good people at Taylor University, who rolled out the red carpet for Kristin and I this weekend. I gave an emergent talk there on Thursday night, and the chapel address on Friday morning, which was the first piece of official, public business done for our (Kluck/DeYoung)book, Why [...]
A link from my good friend Cory Hartman, one of the pastors written about in the last chapter of Why We’re Not Emergent. He thought this clip was dripping with emergent imagery, and I’m inclined to agree with him. Who knew that Doug Pagitt and Tony Jones had endorsement deals with McDonald’s? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg87E1tjTOE&feature=related

Also, has anybody [...]
I returned from a Christmas journey to Indiana on Christmas Dayto find a mountain of wet, heavy snow at the end of my driveway, which I would spend an hour shoveling and griping about. At some point during the shoveling/griping I found a package on my front porch from my good friends Cory and Kelly [...]
A facebook friend of mine, CJ Fast, posted a really interesting discussion on that site that I wanted to throw out for the 8.5 million (and growing) readers of Ted Wins.. The central question arises from what looks like a devotional blurb from a guy named Joel Beeke, and it is as follows:
“Read as an [...]
So I had a great conversation with a friend of mine yesterday…it would be perfect in a Leonard Sweetian way if the conversation had happened over lattes at a Starbucks (Leonard would say we had a “soulcafe” – which is Leonard-speak for “conversation”), but it actually took place in my car, with me drinking a [...]
