First off, let me apologize for being an absentee friend (at least, that is what I feel like). So much has happened recently in such a short period of time that it’s one of those for real moments of ‘when it rains it pours.’ I’m back now, but here is a quick summary of what [...]

So a day after I land from England I had to speak at the one-of-a-kind Q Conference, which was being held in Chicago this year (I took the picture above from my phone as I was about to go on stage). I was very humbled that Q’s founder, Gabe Lyons, asked me to share some thoughts [...]

I fly out this afternoon to teach at the Urban Youth Workers Institute RELOAD training in Phoenix this weekend. These guys are the real deal, and I’m really excited to reunite with them and be a part of their important work in urban locales all across America. Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org

I was in the airport recently and saw this sign. It felt awfully familiar to many of our bridge building efforts between the church and the gay community, so I expounded a little. What do you think? PS – I am preaching both services tomorrow (9 and 11am) at LaSalle St. Church in Chicago. I’ll be [...]

Lumen 1.31 – Andrew Marin from mariners church on Vimeo. As I mentioned in the post yesterday, my most recent trip started in January and ended in the second week of February! I figured I would recount this adventure from Orange County to the White House in chronological order. Thus, the video above was my [...]
