In Celebration of The God Journey
This week, The God Journey celebrated our one thousandth episode after 21 years of slinging freedom all over the place. We've encouraged people to think outside the box of religious obligation and discover a connection to Jesus deeply steeped in his love, with a growing trust in what he is doing in the world....

Where the Wind Blows
One of my favorite images of living by the Spirit comes from Jesus's conversation with Nicodemus. "The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit. (John 3:8)" We put so much... Read More

Caught More Than Taught
I am in Boise, ID this weekend sharing some of what it means to live loved through some of the brutal crises of life.

Here We Go Again...
I got a disturbing email today. After just completing a rescue at the petrol station near Kitale, we received word that the water enterprise in Forkland was closed by the government today. The picture above is of the inspectors carrying out the old bottling machine. Here's the email I received: Dear brother Wayne, The... Read More
"A Tender, Urgent, Spirit-infused Call"
First, I want to thank all of you who helped us save the petrol station in Kenya, which supports impoverished families near Kitale. As of last Friday, we were short almost $5,000 from reaching our goal. Someone called that morning and wanted to provide whatever we still needed. So, we had all we needed... Read More
We Are About Half Way There
Last week, I asked if you could help my friends in Kenya once again. They are about to lose the petrol station we built for them at a government auction due to nonpayment of fees they were unaware they owed. The profits from this station support an orphanage and education center, as well as... Read More
Once Again, Help for Kenya
Sara and I are back from our anniversary celebration in Alaska. We saw such immense beauty and thoroughly enjoyed our ten days together exploring this rich land.

Fifty Years of Wonder
Sara and I were married on May 17, 1975. Tomorrow, we will celebrate fifty years together, and we both feel incredibly grateful not only for the gift the other has been to us but also for God's help in navigating the last fifty years together to greater freedom and wholeheartedness. I used to think... Read More

Progress on the Home Front
I don't like using this page to share my medical progress. Still, I continue to hear from people who are reticent to get in touch with me for fear that I don't have the strength or time to handle their communication or that they want to give Sara and me the privacy to navigate... Read More
Resurrection Song
I've written about Jenny before. She's my favorite contemporary poet, writing from a deep place of pain as she negotiates the aftermath of a virus that caused severe M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis: inflammation of the brain and spinal cord). She is unable to sit up because of the strain on her cardiovascular system that has,... Read More
