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 think I mentioned that Aidan likes to run through our apartment while fighting with swords. Asher has a few of the Vanderhorst death wish genes as well. And I’d be sorry if he didn’t…
This afternoon the boys and I are planning a cold-weather bungee jump off the roof of our nine-story building. With waterguns.
I’d be lying if I said this happened all the time…
That’s the vibe I’ve been getting from the Aidan photo fans! Aidan decided he wanted to be a dog for Halloween. Not just any dog–Levi, his uncle’s dog. The two Levis are pictured together…see if you can identify the real dog. And don’t say, “The guy in the middle.”
A flu bug and lots of travel have kept me from posting lately, but here’s a photo we had taken early in early October during the annual family apple-picking trip…you know, just to break the silence. 
Some great stuff is going on–I’ll be writing an update soon.
