I recently had the privilege of interviewing David Batstone – founder and President of Not For Sale. My favorite part of the interview and this partnership ($25,000 to build a Border Outpost between Nepal & India): By funding and creating this border outpost, we’ll be able to help anywhere from 200-300 girls and young women from [...]

If you read my blog, you know the situation that brewed this past week regarding the marketing of a book entitled Deadly Vipers. This past week, a few of us including Soong Chan Rah and Kathy Khang shared a conference call with both authors of the book and on a separate day, w/ some of [...]

We’ve received our share of criticism about our public pledge to donate our 2009 salary to fight extreme poverty. Everything ranging from “Stop boasting” to “You’re lying” and How about Matthew 6:3 and “…when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” For the record, I have [...]

Read this story of Sa-Soon Cha, a 68 year old woman who finally passed her written driver’s test on the 950th attempt. At first, I was laughing but then when you consider how much work, time, commitment,heart, and even finances she invested, it’s an incredible story of perseverance. Actually, i’ts pretty inspiring. My favorite quote: “I believe you [...]

I want to follow up on yesterday’s post which I believe has broken the record for the longest title in history: “deadly vipers, mike foster, jud wilhite, soong-chan rah, chuck norris, joyluck club, angry asian man, wanna be ninjas and everyone else.” Yo, that’s how I roll. I had some good dialogue with Mike Foster yesterday [...]

We launched a new teaching series at Quest this past Sunday entitled “Relationships: ___________.” We’ll likely spend the next 4-5 months on all things relationships: God, Jesus, Spirit, self, parents, children, enemies, marriage, dating, and so on. One of our other pastors was supposed to launch the series but had to bail last minute with a [...]
