Misfits

On January 18th, a group of protestors entered a church service in Minneapolis, after discovering one of the pastors there was also the field director for ICE. In response to this, politicians and pastors alike have offered their perspectives, but the majority of responses expose the structural issues of American Christianity, particularly in our understanding of the Church and its role in the community. I can appreciate the shock that must have been on the pastor as the prot

Every year at this time, we try to look back at a common theme we have either seen or addressed or both. This year, there has been a consistent topic that has come back time and time again on both the Misfits programming and within the KFM Network as a whole: that the will of God is the redemption of all mankind. So for Advent this year, we wanted to take some time and reflect on how this fits into the Advent season.

Over the past few weeks, we have looked at why we desire enemies. We looked at why Christians don’t have enemies. We looked at the objections to that statement. We looked at why the distinction Jesus made matters so much. But there is one more objection to these statements that we need to address. What about the enemies Paul mentions in Philippians 3:18?

Christians dont have enemies, we have neighbors. This is the most misunderstood teaching of Jesus coming out of Matthew 5. Because the call to love our enemies is actually a call to see them as neighbors instead.

Changing our perspective on how we view other people is not easy, but it is necessary. How do we begin to see people as Neighbors and Image Bearers, rather than enemies and villains? We allow the Spirit to renew our minds in accordance with the will of Christ. Because when we do that, suddenly we see people as Jesus does. 

We have talked a lot recently about the current time we are in, and how seemingly fast and sudden these cultural and sociological shifts are taking place. As I am writing this, the status of most of the country's nearly 42 million SNAP recipients is waiting to find out if their funds will continue in the next 24 hours. It has caused a wide variety of responses from a wide variety of people. The responses to this current SNAP situation provide us with a clear example of how th

For the past decade, I’ve urged the Church to reject the temptation of power and control. That message was rejected again and again, and now we are living in the world that pursuit created. It’s too late to prevent this reality. Warnings and attempts to prevent it from happening are futile. But it’s not too late to live faithfully within it.

There have been several events throughout America’s history that have been classified as revivals, and they all looked different and had a different effect on the land. But what does this word even mean? Where did it come from? What should it look like? That's what we want to explore for a bit today: what does a Biblical Revival actually look like?

Suddenly, we have pastors and congregants removing the mask and fully embracing a version of the gospel they claimed for years didn't even exist. I write this as an attempt to hopefully allow some to see the reality of the change they have made. We all need to stop for a moment and answer a question Jesus asked in Matthew 16, “Who do you say that I am?”

While countless empires and states have claimed to be a Christian nation, the reality is that Christian Nations simply cannot exist...

We are in our 5th season of the Misfits Podcast, and things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing that remains the same is our commitment to providing theological resources and a network of support for those that feel they do not have a place in ministry or the church any more.

Over the first month of Ministry Misfits, I have had the opportunity to appear as a guest on a few shows. In this post, I wanted to highlight and lowlight a few of these appearances, and the Three Tier Model pieces I got out of doing these interviews.
