		<title>Unplugged in Expectation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are entering the last few days before our baby is due to come on the scene. I&#8217;m going to be taking the next week or so to step away and unplug. When I return, it will be to formally announce CreativeTheology.com and way more importantly, Baby Mahlstadt! In the mean time, if you have [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Collaboration Generation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day I wrote a brief post highlighting some great collaborative projects, and my desire for the church to pick up the need for artistic collaboration among creatives. The producer generation has limitless connections, and it seems like six degrees of separation has become more like two or three with the networks of Facebook, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tradition Hater</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I often write about the church and how it intersects with the culture in which we live. Part of that is disgruntled, frustrated responses to how the church is missing it. Allow me to make a few personal comments: I love the church (I&#8217;ve served in both paid and unpaid capacities) I believe in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Participating in The Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If we think about the storyline of our faith it is relatively easy to see our place in the falling action of the epic. The falling action often serves to tie up loose ends, and provide the author a way to close any unresolved or unresolvable issues. All too often, the falling action is where [...]]]></description>

		<title>Your Dream Job Is&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mine is actually a bi-vocation. I would love to write books that stretch and deepen people&#8217;s understanding of God, while leading a local faith community (not sure what that part looks like yet). What&#8217;s your dream job?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t be any more excited to announce the death of this blog. While it may seem strange, I truly feel that this blog must die in order to make room for what&#8217;s ahead. And what&#8217;s ahead just so happens to be CreativeTheology.com. If you have been reading this blog for long, you&#8217;ve seen the progression of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Non-Committal American Church</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m the American Church, and I suffer from a fear of commitment. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, there are some days where a part of me wants to follow in the footsteps of the Rabbi with everything I&#8217;ve got. But most days, I react like a ragged and confused Peter, standing over a fire, weighing my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Selfishness Kills A Team. Duh (Frenchmen).</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read a great article on the tendency to get selfish (and ineffective) when the going gets rough from MSNBC Business. Here is the bottom line: when you turn inward, whether in glory or defeat, the team suffers. Always. There is no room for selfishness on a team. I&#8217;d even go as far as to [...]]]></description>
