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.

God Tries His Hand at City-Building

The rivets in the walls were as wide as manhole covers and would have taken a week to saw through with a diamond cutter before you realized the walls were triple reinforced. The towers on either side of the gate were made of solid granite and rose 14 thousand feet into the air where storms gathered at their peaks. They seemed to have existed independently, and been masterfully incorporated into the structure of the city.

Above the single entry, printed in the boldest sans serif you have ever seen, was a message: NOW ENTERING STRONG CITY. And then, in a more flowery script, Make yourself at home.

Isaiah 26:1-5
