God is rapidly urbanizing the world. For the first time in human history, more people live in cities than in rural areas. Followers of Jesus must learn how to navigate through the complexities of urban life. This blog documents my urban adventures both in Pittsburgh and in cities around the world. This is my personal blog, and my views may not necessarily reflect the views of North Way Christian Community, Bakke Graduate University, or any other organizations.

Gregory the Great
He was a pope for about fourteen years in the late 500s who was known as the administrator of Rome. He saved the city by negotiating a truce with the Lombards, who were on the verge of destroying everything and killing many people. Even though he as a good administrator, he was also contemplative, prayerful, pastoral, and a gifted writer. He is a good example for me on how to engage power structures while also using other skills God has given me to impact others.
