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.

Passionate Followers of Jesus Christ
After the worship service in the East End this past Sunday I had the opportunity to meet with members of the church who are actively involved in serving each other and serving our urban neighbors in many different tangible ways. God is moving in profound ways at North Way East End as we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit to be the body of Christ and to love our neighbors. It is such a joy for me as a pastor to see followers of Jesus passionately doing life together and actively seeking out the marginalized people in our city in order to demonstrate the love of God. I love being a part of a church that is sold out to the Lord, and I love seeing people dying to themselves in order for Christ to be seen in them. Our church exists to be a force in advancing the kingdom of God throughout the city of Pittsburgh, and with the empowerment of the Holy Spirit we are a force that cannot be denied. God is being glorified in the East End. North Way East End is becoming a passionate, radical group of followers of Jesus Christ who are willing to go anywhere and do anything for the sake of the gospel.
