The Good News Event was a small gathering on Saturday April 12th, 2025, at Ambrose University to talk about Reigniting A Prophetic Imagination In Being Good News For And As Disabled People.

It took me a bit by surprise! Sitting down with David Ross in the Riverside online studio, I gazed at my laptop screen with nostalgic amazement as he greeted me from his office in Alberta Bible College. Within a few seconds I recognized his setting as the office of my old professor, John Wilson, from 20 years ago! It brought a flood of memories as we warmed up to one another for what would be a truly inspiring conversation.
“The main stimulus for the renewal of Christianity will come from the bottom and from the edge, from sectors of the Christian world that are on the margins.”
― Alan Hirsch, The Permanent Revolution: Apostolic Imagination and Practice for the 21st Century Church
I. Introduction
Let me start by saying that I really suck at evangelism! No matter what “gift” profiling test I take, it is always at the bottom of the list. So what gives? Am ...
Welcome my fellow Well Dwellers to another episode of the Well Dwellers Podcast where we step into a sacred conversation—a space where the Spirit moves in the lowest of wells, where disability takes on new dimensions, and where dignity is not seen as a lacking but as a profoundly enduring reality of God’s presence in and amongst all of us.
Too often, the world teaches us to view disability through the lens of deficiency, as somethin...
It was several years ago when I sat in a cozy living room along with several other students as we listened to Dr. Richard Beck explore our ideas and thoughts behind hospitality and the Church. At some point, Beck turned to me as the sole leader in the room who led a House Church movement and asked, “How do you discern and respond to heresy in your church?” At the time, I wasn’t quite prepared for the question as I fumbled through t...
“This makes me wonder if my serendipitous experiences of the past year are foretastes. If this is where God is taking things, could a church-without-walls simply be the spiritual re-enchantment of all of life?”
— John Van Sloten
I really enjoyed getting to talk with John Van Sloten a few weeks ago. With a deeply humble and calming voice, I found John’s stories about his son Edward and himself to be powerfully inspiring. Edward’s joy ...

Reigniting A Prophetic Imagination In Being Good News For And As Disabled People Today
A few weeks ago I shared a post called ‘Where Is Good News For The Disabled Today?’

Overview
While listening to two presentations in the themes of a New Body and New Church, followed by participating in table discussions and a Q & A with the presenters...
Today I get to sit down with my pastor, friend, and quite possibly an international spy of extraordinary missionally impossible accomplishments… James Paton! For the last 10 years he has lead First Alliance Church in Calgary through some incredible Kingdom adventures and I have on many occasions found a deep voice of wisdom and faith through his leadership.
Our conversation dives deep into thoughts around his disability, scriptural ...
Star Trek And Disabilities
I grew up in the Trek world. Everyday I would get home from school, throw my books on my bed, and stretch out on the living room floor to watch old repeats of the original Star Trek series. Of course I was fascinated with the utopian adventures of the Enterprise community and the intriguing characters of Spock, Captain Kirk, Christopher Pike, and all the alien species that filled the known and unknown fron...
Well Dweller Moments: The 1st Rule In Disability Ministry Is…
“The 1st Rule In Disability Ministry Is… Don’t Talk About Disability Ministry.”
It’s a word play on a quote from Brad Pitt’s movie ‘Fight Club’.
Meant sarcastically and humorously. But it has some seriousness to it, too.
There is a culture or kind of unspoken rule within the Church that they would really rather let those with disabilities “naturally” find acceptance and rela...
In this episode Cynthia Tam, Krista Ewert, and I explore the work of Deeper Communion. We start by sharing our thoughts into the understanding of language around disability definitions and social connections. And later speak to the role of the Church and the spiritual life of those with disabilities.
I am excited to share this episode with you as it has been some time since engaging the podcast streams. It is my hope this conversati...

Micha Boyett From Her Substack: The Slow Way
“I believe we can grow in our capacity for joy, based on the decisions we make. We can put ourselves in situations and relationships that increase our joy, even if our level of happiness doesn’t change. What I’m trying to say is perhaps joy isn’t necessarily abstract. It’s rooted in the ...
