FREEEEEDOM! A New Generation of Christian.
This is a continuation (after a long break) of my series on a New Generation of Christian. Starting with Character, I continued with Courage and Security. Next in this series of attributes that I think are necessary for a new generation of Christians, is Freedom. I was recently talking to some church leaders about church planting. They had an [...]
Burn. The. Boats.
Jesus sometimes said some wacky stuff. At the end of Luke chapter 9, it’s a bit shocking when he tells his followers not to say goodbye to their parents or to ‘let the dead bury the dead.’ When Jesus talked about hating your parents and picking up your cross, he wasn’t trying to tell his followers that they shouldn’t honor [...]
Honesty When It Hurts
I was preparing to write a blog post about being a “real man” this past weekend… I went up the mountain and chopped some wood. Woo Hoo. But as I sat down to write, I couldn’t write it. My mind kept calling “BS.” It wouldn’t let me get away with it. So I am going to allow a peek behind [...]
The Pioneer Spirit
I have recently been reading stories of pioneers moving into the Western United States. These families or adventurers were lured away from their cozy homes, villages, towns, and farms for one reason: the mystery. They had no idea what they were going into, just rumors and legends. The only thing they knew for certain was that their travels would be [...]
What a Year! Hearn Family Update 2011
Two thousand and eleven was a great year for the Hearn Family. We are certainly hitting our stride and beginning to flourish in our roles as quasi-missionaries/NGO directors. Here are the highlights: The Family The kids are growing smarter and more beautiful everyday. Ben started preschool (in all-Spanish public school) this September, and is comfortable and making friends and learning [...]

It’s been fun to re-launch my WarriorShepherd blog this year. It’s had its ups and downs, but I think I’ve settled into a routine. Hopefully you’ve enjoyed reading. Here are some of the highlights.
This post is part of my “New Generation of Christians” series. If you’d like, you can check out the first posts, Character and Courage. Perhaps the biggest problem facing Christian leaders and ministers today is insecurity. Each of us has our ‘chinks in the armor,’ where we feel the most vulnerable and weak. As this is played out in our [...]
At the G42 Leadership Academy, we talk about our missional “forefathers” who have overcome in the face of real adversity. Gladys Alward, Brother Yun, Nate Saint, George Mueller… for some reason, many of us have lost the courage to do difficult things these days. Every time fear raises up, or obstacles come, we decide it’s not God’s will and we [...]
John Eldredge has got my number. Wild At Heart spoke to me as a man … The Way of the Wild Heart spoke to me as a father, and now Beautiful Outlaw speaks to me as a follower of this man called Jesus Christ. His book reveals the personality and nature of Jesus… at once “playful, disruptive, and extravagant.” More [...]
