Quick Intro...

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.

Another Thing...

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.

Preaching Plans…x2

In the last couple weeks, our speed of life has accelerated like James Bond’s Aston Martin (Quantum of Solace: watch it!), and I’ve been meaning to toss out this simple post for awhile now…for those of you who track these things:

On this coming Sunday, the 23rd, I’ll be preaching on James chapter 3, verses 1-12 at LifeConnection Church in Independence. That’s “James” in the Bible, as opposed to the a movie discussion on the 3rd action sequence in the Bond film…ok, sorry. Intriguing passage centering on a bunch of cussing, vindictive Christians, their habit of letting fly, and the ripple effect.

On November 30, a week from this Sunday, I’ll be preaching at East Side Baptist Church…talking about what we’re doing downtown, the eternal relevance of God’s word, and how we should be missionaries wherever we live. Won’t be a ton of research required for this one.

I’m looking forward to these opportunities to talk with folks–feel free to come visit. I’m recruiting fans but I’ll take hecklers too. ;) If you think of it, ask Jesus to give me a strong helping hand. Thanks!

An update is on the way, as soon as I get a chance to slow down again.

    Just remember that you’ve been waiting for this moment all your life - thinking about it, dreaming about it, and now that its finally arrived, you’re going to be tense. So just take a deep breath before you pull the trigger… and deliver the gospel. (What did you think I was talking about? ;)

    Ha, thanks man. I’ll do my best to deliver a raw, unfiltered gospel message.
