theology, church planting, big ideas
Hi, I'm AJ Vanderhorst. Born in Lawrence, Kansas, home of the mighty Jayhawks, I currently live near downtown Kansas City. I'm married to the beautiful Lindsay, and have two rambunctious kids, Aidan and Asher. At the moment, my goal is to freelance write & get an urban church plant off the ground. It would also be cool to keep my hoops game alive and see a downtown Renaissance in KC.
This blog is where I think out loud about knowing Jesus, living out my theology, and making risky plans, so it has a personal, sometimes confessional flavor. We want to see a new, Jesus-exalting, culturally-focused work of God started in the urban arts district of KC. Feel free to contact me if something here sparks your interest.

I win the award for first comment ever! I’m sure this comes with a free espresso of “mystery five point” variety at an apartment near you

You dog! The five points beans are gone like Western Kentucky, but the beans I grabbed at Broadway Cafe are amazing. You have to try.

AJ,
Love the site. I have to think it’s a God-thing how I arrived. I was googling for that Rock Chalk rap, happened by your other blog, and ended up here. You’ve probably been there, but if you like a little in-your-face church relevance, you might have a gander at Carlos Whittaker’s ragamuffin blog; think there’s a link on my blogroll. Have a great day, and I’ll be back to read. BTW, I think my pastor at lfmchurch is a pretty big CS Lewis reader.
(Go Hawks!)

I have just made this determination (on the fly): Anytime someone arrives here by Googling the Rock Chalk Rap, it’s a God thing…
Thanks for the note, I’ll take a look at your blog too.
