(Ben Meredith is no stranger to the guest post. It is not something he avoids, like door to door witnessing. Which lots of people avoid like the plague, constantly finding reasons not to attend outreach events. In this post Ben muses that we treat door to door witnessing like some strange avian-swine disease. Enjoy.)

Whoa, hot topic. Hot. Topic. The few times I’ve written about bringing kids to church there’s been a lot of heated debate about the subject. For the most part, I think it’s a decision the parents make with their kids. But then I saw this video that the hilarious team of  Tripp Crosby and Tyler Stanton made. They showed it at our church because we had a bajillion babies storm service like a SWAT team. Slight exaggeration. Check it out after the jump. And let me know what you think of the following question:

Last week I had the chance to hang out with the folks from the Foundry at Bel Air Presbyterian. After the jump is the video of my talk. I covered why God leaves snakes, the difference between two big words and one of my favorite things to talk about, the mustard ice cream. Check it out if you get a chance.

Carlos Whitaker is the godfather of Christian blogging. And now, he’s got a great new album. I hung out with him last week and got a copy. I love it. He’s one of the most honest, talented folks I know and I’m really excited about the release of this album. This isn’t a sponsored post or a paid ad, just one friend proud of another. Here’s the new album “Ragamuffin Soul” on itunes. Check it out.
