Linkin Blogs

Fermi When people ask me, "Where do you get those ideas on church and culture?" I have to say much is what is observed, discussed and read. When it comes to the reading part. I read books put out by Barna, Driscoll, Keller, Kimball and Claiborne. But in my new 2.0 world I prefer blogs... like this one.

The Fermi Project is a broad collective of innovators, artists, social entrepreneurs, church and societal leaders experimenting with ways to advance the common good in culture.

The focus of this project is strategically placed on Christians and leaders throughout the Church. Multiple mediums are leveraged to push forward the essence of this project, including events, research, essays, films, books and culture shaping projects.

What is the meaning... well from their website they describe it this way...

"In contrast to things that are big, Fermi represents the beginning of a chain reaction. It starts small, but through intentional linking over time creates an exponential effect, a major shift within the church's way of viewing its mission and opportunity within the culture."

These "chain reactions" are powerful and effective. Such as the Girl Effect, Invisible Children and more close to home Beautiful Day. There are many more listed and an invitation to include more "projects."

So check it out and if you have a great idea that you think would make an excellent project share it with us here.

What Are Some of These Catagories About?

  • Family
    You've got one, right? What's more fun than embarrassing them by telling stories about them the whole world can read.
  • Watercooler Wednesdays
    A Blog Carnival on the topic of Culture and Art
  • Satisfaction Saturdays
    Things that make me happy. This can be anything - food, wine, travel, entertainment and friendship. I'll share recipes, favorite getaways and occasionally a great tip here and there from the "Oeno-files!"
  • Whatever Friday's
    Whatever...
  • Triathlon Thrusdays
    Various issues, problems, anxieties and triumphs in my personal pursuit within the sport of triathlon.
  • Discussion
    Every discussion post is designed to follow the weekend message given at Twin Oaks Church. The purpose is to put practical application on the concepts learned each Sunday and give the small groups meeting within our church a "jumping off" point for their discussion and how they can take the weekend teaching and make it livable throughout the week and further into their lives. But the discussion is for everyone. If you agree, great... if you disagree, join in and share your opinion in the comments.
  • Ferndale Stories
    Each story listed from a boyhood memory is, in fact, based on truth and intended to discover simple truths for complicated living. Only the names of my direct family and two boyhood friends Rick and Ron are real. Any other names are fictional although based on actual people. For more information on Ferndale, California visit www.victorianferndale.org
  • Devotions
    Devotions are simple reflections coming from everyday life and experience. They are the application of principles taught in the Bible and lived by faith. Devotions are meant to create dialogue and not meant to be a concluding thought. Please feel free to comment and add your personal experience to the Devotion posts.
