Give some, get some (my Birthday giveaway treat)

I will resume blog posts at the end of next week. Until then, remember…

There’s just 1 week left in the Birthday giveaway.

 This year I’m giving to the charity Hello Somebody (go ahead check them out).
I will giveaway a Hello-Somebody watch in 7 days. To be eligible comment on any post on this blog before February 23 (so that means 23 eligible days, if you’re keeping track). Somebody will be chosen at random, and boom! poor people will get a cow, or clean water, or something they need. And IF wearing a ginormous watch isn’t your thing, I’ll have it shipped to the person of your choice.
(I also recommend that when you look at your new watch you pray for them, and thank God for the luxury you live in. Sounds like a beneficial spiritual practice to me anyway. That’s my plan, and I hope you join me.)
Tweet about this post, and you get to choose your color of watch too. (Tweet with the hash tag #Bday so I can find you.) The more times you comment or tweet, the better your chances get.
If you give to Hello-Somebody this month, before Feb 23, you get special honors here at the blog.
Have a great day, and count your blessings, one-by-one!

What a Woman is Worth with Tamara Lunardo

Tamara Lunardo has only been blogging for a couple of years, but thanks to her openness on some touchy (and important) topics, her audience has grown rapidly. Sometimes Tamara uses salty language or speaks about the realities of life…and sex, and it turns out Christians have a huge fascination with that sort of thing. Go figure!

Enjoy a snapshot of our time together, were we discuss her community project through Civitas Press called What a Woman is Worth. Through a collection of essays, this book (due out in a few months) confronts disparaging views of women and affirms the female gender to do whatever God has uniquely gifted them to do. You go, girl! Be assured this video is all very PG, honest.

16 other videos interviews are at the YouTube channel (you can subscribe to the channel and never miss out on the latest enlightening chat).

Alise Wright is staring down Fear

I had a great chat with Alise Wright and we talked about her upcoming book project Not Afraid. Plus, we talk a bit about a few other things like marriage equality and Mark Driscoll’s new polemic book “Real Marriage” (and I may need to offer some bonus video material on that insightful stuff); can men and women be friends (best of friends, even when they are married to other people); and Alise’s upcoming personal work in keeping with her calling.
