October 2015 – Link List – Our Last Synchroblog

October 2015 is our last Synchroblog theme. After mulling it over for a while, our team decided to discontinue our monthly Synchroblog. It’s been a lot of fun, we’ve met some amazing people and have learned so much through this process of sharing our ideas and thoughts through blogging.

We will leave our Synchroblog site up with all the themes and link lists. We will also leave our Facebook page up but will change the settings so no additional posts can be made on that page.

Our final synchroblog theme is: “If this was my last blog post, here’s what I would say…”

For the month of October we invited bloggers to imagine what they would want to say if they were writing their very last blog post.

Thanks to all the bloggers who participated this month. We hope you enjoy reading their posts!

Link List – June 2015 Synchroblog – Hospitality

In a world that has grown frighteningly guarded and harsh, Christians are called to imitate Jesus by being sacraments of God’s hospitality in the world.

This month we invited bloggers to share their thoughts about hospitality.

Here is the list of contributions to this month’s synchroblog. If you are a contributor please add this list with links to the bottom of your synchroblog post.

K.W. Leslie – Christian Hospitality

Christine Sine – True Hospitality – What Does It Look Like?

Link List – April Synchroblog – Bearing Fruit

Fruit … glorious fruit. It’s mentioned several times and in various contexts in the New Testament. We’re told we’ll know people by their “fruit.” We’re told that we should tend the “fruits of the Spirit.” But that supposes we have some idea of what “fruit” is. What does it look like in the life of a Jesus follower? What would the term “bear fruit” look like? How do we, as followers of Jesus, “bear fruit” in our ordinary lives?

That’s the theme of this month … fruit or bearing fruit. In whatever ways those terms hit you, let us know.

Please add the link list to the bottom of your post. Thanks!

• Mark Votava – The Fruit of Non Violent Communication

November Synchroblog – Spiritual Abuse and Redemption – Link List

Nearly everyone in the country and especially in Christian circles has heard of the implosion of the megachurch in Seattle, WA known as Mars Hill and the accusations made against it’s lead pastor, Mark Driscoll. Regardless of how you feel about Mark Driscoll in particular, what would it look like for the Church as a whole when abusive leaders are held accountable and then are reconciled? How do we do that in such a way as to let victims be heard and redemption be the end goal. What does redemption and/or reconciliation look like in real life? What does grace look like in these situations?

To be clear, this is not a synchroblog about Mark Driscoll (he is just an example among dozens we might have used) but about asking the question of how to handle spiritual abuse so that the Christian tenets of justice, forgiveness, reconciliation and redemption are honored.

Below is the link list for this month. Please make sure you include this entire list at the bottom of your own post on your blog. Then, feel free to go read, comment, and share the posts of other people.
