Thinking Blogger…

Josh Brown tagged me as one of the five bloggers who make him think, which is amazing since I haven’t had anything worth saying in… well.. maybe ever. I’m supposed to tag five people/blogs that make me think. (Here’s the original post that kicked this whole thing off.)  Here is my top 5 list, not counting the heavyweights like Scot McKnight and Andrew Jones.

Thinking Blogger

1. Adam Feldman: Adam was one of the first blogs I started reading on a regular basis, and he hasn’t let me down. We’re talking about discussions on missional living, church planting, travel, and plenty of other great topics.
2. Josh Brown: I started reading Josh a year ago. He might have tagged me, but… the simple fact is he thinks MUCH harder than I do and discusses topics much more interesting than me- like social justice, politics, economics, and religion.
3. Derek Webster: Derek was the first blog I started reading on a regular basis, and he’s the one who pointed me toward Andrew Jones. He only blogs in particular seasons (he’s in one now), and then he disappears without a trace. Still, his thoughts from the European church planting movement, understanding of postmodern and emerging thought, and reflection on missions in Western culture have challenged me since the beginning.
4. Paul Littleton: The perfect mix of emerging church and traditional SBC.
5. Paul Del Signore: I’ve just recently begun reading Paul’s blog. He’s one of the Friday Photo guys, and discusses a plethora of topics. Very interesting.

Honorable mentions (in no particular order):
David Phillips, Bruce Chant, Howie Luvzus, Steve McCoy, Joe Thorn, Ben Arment, and Brent Thomas

Leanne - Hey,

Can I link your Sibera series to a friend at http://www.interactministries.org? It’s the place I was talking to you about last year. They’re trying to set up blogs for their missionaries and I mentioned yours. One of their key guys is in Tuva.

Rambling and off topic, I know. Anyway, I’ll wait until you give me the go ahead. Actually, I probably won’t since it’s already up. So, here’s your chance to stop me. Right now.

Paul - Wow! Thanks for the mention, Joe. I’ve been pretty covered up and just saw this late tonight.

Howie Luvzus - Wow! Thanks for the mention Joe. Kind of amazing since I didn’t make your “Short List”!

Joe Kennedy - Howie, geez, I posted this back in April.

Anyhoo, you didn’t make the short list because you stopped posting for 6 months.
