Advent Conspiracy
I am really proud to be part of a church that is participating in Advent Conspiracy this holiday season. We have been talking and praying as a community about rethinking gift giving, generosity, and remembering the poor. Here’s a short promo video for the movement.
And here’s something a few folks from Living Hope put together for our community.
Especially in light of tragedies like this, I think scaling back our spending and consumption and asking God to help us remember the poor and oppressed is perhaps the best possible way us to celebrate the advent of the Savior of the world.

Hi There…
Hey, I'm JR - welcome to the blog.
I'm just an average guy trying to shape his identity around God's dream for the world and his place in it. This blog is a place for me (and you!) to reflect on and discuss all that might mean. Looking for a bit more on me? Check out the about me. Peace.

1Living Hope shared some of their Advent Conspiracy materials with my church, Neighborhood Church. We were most appreciative. The books were a nice addition to our launch service last week. Thanks for being generous!
