Watchdog is Back...Got a Few Things to Share!

Well, look who’s back. That’s right—after a long sabbatical filled with thinking, observing, reflecting (and biting my tongue more times than I care to admit), the Watchdog is logging back in. I’ve been out of the game for a while, but I’ve never stopped watching. And more importantly, I’ve never stopped thinking. About what it means to leave the baggage of fundamentalism without abandoning the basics of Christianity. About what it looks like to be a common-sense Christian in a world where the loudest voices are often the most toxic. I’ve got stories. I’ve got scars. I’ve seen things—some ugly, some inspiring, and all of it worth unpacking.

But here’s the twist—and it might shock a few of you—I’m not just here to torch the usual suspects. Sure, there might be a few well-deserved snark aimed at the pulpit showmen and their latest tithing gimmicks, but I’ve also seen some surprisingly good stuff out there. Believe it or not, there are a few pastors I want to lift up. Some who are doing it right and have seemingly learned from the previous generation of showman that I've highlighted on this blog. A couple of them even run those dreaded megachurches—and no, I’m not joking. 

So if you’re expecting nothing but fire and brimstone aimed at every preacher with a fog machine or a megachurch, you might be disappointed. The Watchdog is back, but this time, he’s also got a few biscuits to hand out. Weekly posts start now. I'll be sure to make a few of you mad on all sides of modern Christianity, I'm sure.
