I just got my first Drucker book in the mail from Amazon, The Essential Drucker : The Best of Sixty Years of Peter Drucker’s Essential Writings on Management. This is a busy year in developing ministry leaders at our church so I’m trying to read a lot of resources on leadership to help equip...

(Note: The book’s title is not known yet.) Tim Keller, who has been one of the primary influencers on issues of gospel living at our church is going to be releasing a new book. (This is not new news, as it was posted at Tim Keller’s sons blog back in August.) A new excerpt was released...
God’s Neighborhood: A Hopeful Jour...

Kaleo Church Picture Gallery...
Posted by D. Goodmanson in Church on 01 25th, 2006 | No Comments
Thanks to Luke who launched a picture gallery of Kaleo Church events and people….crazy to see. Man, we need to take new pictures because 90% of the people aren’t up on this! (picture on the right, me and pastor duane from the resolved after a Kaleo service).
The Christian Social Revolution...
How do we as Christians create a social revolution? If we lived as scripture calls us to and prayed for our cities, while we radically seek their physical, economical, social and spiritual welfare. The Christian Social Revolution is Part 1 of a two part series I’m preaching at Kaleo Church.
Sexual Brokenness and the Gospel...
If sex is God’s good gift, why are we so embarrassed to talk about it?
In a culture that views people as ultimate, God as irrelevant, and pleasure as the highest good, it’s no wonder that sexuality has become such a dominant force. Sex is a powerful pathway to instant physical pleasure. When the...
Church Services beyond Traditionalism...
[This is a reflection on my San Diego Reader Column where I visited a different church each week for 2005 and part of 2004.]
I imagine in most American churches, there is very little variance in how church service is done. Yes, there are high liturgical services such as the Eastern Orthodox and low...
Neither Poverty Nor Riches...
How do Americans, the richest nation in the world deal with the economic plight througout the rest of the world and in our own population? I’ve been thinking about this a while. One thing my wife and I decided was to pick a ‘lifestyle’ and not live beyond it, even if our income goes...
How the Other Half Worships...
You’ve probably seen them as you drive around San Diego. What used to be a flooring store in North Park is now a Spanish-language church. A house in eastern San Diego is now being used for Muslim prayers. A former corner market in Barrio Logan has been turned into a Pentecostal tabernacle. With...
Jesus, What a Cover!...
According to Mother Jones, magazines that feature Jesus on their covers see their issue sales jump by as much as 45 percent. (Putting the Bible front and center can boost sales as much as 51 percent.) In the past couple of years, magazines such as Wired and Popular Mechanics have tried to cash in on...
A Generation’s Identity in their P...
The existential experiment has changed a generation raised by it’s meaninglessness. I find great sorrow that the thinkers and artists who came up this epistimoligical dispair ended up shaping a generation who did not choose the sorrow. But nonetheless, we now have a generation whose identity...

This week’s World Magazine includes an article on my former boss (when I wrote a weekly column at the San Diego Reader), Roe v. Wade: Counterculture clash. The article details Holman’s activism for the pro-life movement while he publishes a “urban alternative” weekly.
