Yes, it was a scary as it looked. When was the last time you went sledding?

**UPDATE** I can’t tell you how much I wish I could give every one of you a copy. However, only 10 of you could win. Thanks so much for all of your encouragement. Congrats to Ronne, Alex, Firefly, David, Paul, Rebecca, Erin, Karla, Krislyn, and Jim. We’ll email you soon to get your info. I’m [...]

I often get asked, “Why do you blog?” I think this is a fair question, even if there is an underlying assumption that it’s a waste of time. While I obviously don’t think blogging is for every pastor I do think it can be a valuable tool for many. My time is more limited today [...]

Fifty People, One Question: New Orleans from Benjamin Reece on Vimeo. I saw this last night and LOVED it. I love the way it’s shot and I love the question. Thought it would be a great “all skate” for us here at Without Wax. No more lurking. Just one question. By the end of today [...]
