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.

A Tragedy
My heart is definitely breaking for the victims of the mass shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut earlier today. I am joining many others around the nation who are praying for the families and that community. As a former teacher and education administrator, this violent act hits close to home. As a pastor, I am praying that God will heal hearts in the midst of tremendous pain and suffering. I have dedicated much of the past seven years of my life to actually doing something about the violence in my own city, and events like what happened today remind me that I need to continue doing everything I can to advocate against violence in our world.
