I stumbled upon an interesting discussion with Ken Myers, creator and host of the Mars Hill Audio Journal. The Journal is a bi-monthly audio magazine of sorts. It originally started in 1993 as the ‘Mars Hill Tapes’, as it was originally distributed via the mail on cassette tape. I was among the early subscribers, and […]
“Personality is that peculiar, incalculable thing that is meant when we speak of ourselves as distinct from everyone else. Our personality is always too big for us to grasp. An island in the sea may be but the top of a great mountain. Personality is like an island, we know nothing about the great depths […]
An article at The Gospel Coalition addresses the question posed in the title of this post. And I have to say, simply through what I’ve observed in folks I’ve known personally over the years, as well as on-line acquaintances, I think there’s compelling evidence to suggest that the answer – in many cases – is […]
With the exception of grocery ads, I usually don’t get store flyers in the mail – except during the week of Black Friday. Leafing through this year’s ads, I’m struck by the sheer number – and visual prominence – of “smart” TVs, smart phones, tablets, Orwellian listening stations from Google and Amazon, and other electronic […]

In this final installment scanned from The Wittenburg Door, author and professor Walter Wangerin discusses a range of topics – including doubt – topics that are no less relevant today than they were when originally published in 1986. If we were to heed the wisdom here, the world would be a much, much better place.
This is the 2nd article scanned from a 1986 issue of The Wittenburg Door which addresses the subject of doubt. “Pietro and Madeleine” was a running series in the magazine during the mid-80s, featuring a fictional married couple discussing issues of faith in a light-hearted way.
Back in the mid-1980s, while at college, I was introduced to a Christian satire magazine called The Wittenburg Door. It was published, at that time, by Youth Specialties, one of the early publishers of youth ministry resources. (The Door was kind of a side project, separate from their youth ministry business). It was through subscribing […]
