finitum non capax infiniti

My cousin’s husband Meade just started a blog. You need to add it to your RSS readers. I lived with Meade and Amy during my first year of seminary (I’ve blogged about the experience here). I had never listened to a sermon by Tim Keller until Meade told me about him. Needless to say, the rest is history. Meade and Amy also broke me out of my comfortable, abstract theological shell and opened my eyes to social justice, missional living, and urban ministry. Living with Meade, Amy, Manny, and Aderyn was simply amazing.

Meade is the Associate Pastor at Faith Community Church in Brookhaven, PA (right next to Chester, PA). He graduated from Philadelphia Biblical University and he is one class away from finishing his M.Div. at Biblical Seminary. Why should you read his blog? Thanks for asking.

You should read his blog for the following reasons:
—He is married to my cousin (This brings up the interesting question as to how we are actually related. I never figured this out. Are we “officially” second-cousins? Cousins-in-law? This gets more complicated considering the fact that Amy and I are “officially” half-cousins since my father and her mother share the same mother, but different fathers. I just successfully confused myself. I just refer to him as my cousin because its easier to say than “my cousin’s husband” and because I don’t feel like looking on some Mormon-funded family tree site to figure out the answer. Moving on…)
—He is hilarious.
—He is smart.
—He loves Tim Keller.
—He reads a lot.
—He is missional.
—His religious view on Facebook is listed as: “I pray five times a day towards Joel Osteen’s mullet.”
—He will make you think outside the box.
—He and I are working on a video project to offer free, high quality, theologically sound, humorous, and relevant videos about theology, Christianity, the Bible, and anything else we think of.

His post today is hilarious. I’m looking forward to reading more.
