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.
And now for something totally different…
The only question is, how have I lived in/near downtown Kansas City for six years without discovering the Urban Explorers club? This is like one of those boyhood dreams realized…Mark Twain goes urban/e. Talk about an ideal way to spend quality time with the boys.
Mind-boggling.
