Fundraiser Update
THANK YOU SO MUCH to those of you who have contributed to this ministry. This is such a great start and we’re feeling very grateful! Here’s where we’re at today:
- 56 monthly supporters
- $4810 in one-time gifts
- $2185 monthly budget
We’re keeping this fundraiser going through the end of the year and we’re hoping to reach our goal of $10,000/month by then. We’re dreaming big dreams and we think God is dreaming them with us. We’ll give you an update periodically so that you can celebrate with us.
We are hoping that we can begin hiring folks to do some work on organizing the site so that the information is easier to find and things can be much more interactive. We’d also like to have funds to get research projects up and running and hire someone to run the ministry overall. We have the Open Theism conference coming in April (more on that soon!) and we’d like to host more of these in the future.
Also, we just hired a printer to produce the ReKnew poster and we’re really excited about that. Those of you who have committed to a monthly donation of $25 will be receiving yours in the next few weeks.
If this ministry has been a blessing to you and if you’d like to see it go to the next level, we hope you’ll consider partnering with us with a monthly donation. You can access our support page here. And as always, your gifts are tax deductible.
Viva la Revolution!

Our Commitment to Love (and Avoiding Theological Idolatry)
Given that we have just launched ReKnew, I thought it would be helpful to spend a good portion of our initial blogs unpacking the theological vision of ReKnew. Our goal is to post content to the site at least three or four times a week, with two of these posts (on average) being fresh content from me addressing particular theological topics. The other posts will be things such as videos, quotes of the day, featured articles from elsewhere on the web questions from readers, and so on.
Before I begin unpacking ReKnew’s theological vision in subsequent posts, however, today I want to offer four preliminary words about the theological convictions I’ll be espousing.
A ReKnew Website Primer
In many ways, the ReKnew website has become something like an introductory systematic theology resource centered around the beautiful God we find in Jesus. It is a resource that helps us rethink twelve core theological convictions. ReKnew invites you to: ReThink the Source of Life ReThink the Nature of Faith ReThink Our Picture of God…
Reflections on the Supremacy of Christ (Part 2)
Whereas most Christians place the revelation of God in Christ alongside of other portraits of God and end up with an amalgamated image of God, we at ReKnew encourage believers to base their understanding of God completely on Christ, and especially on Christ crucified. And we encourage disciples to work to reinterpret through the lens…
Video Q&A: What if violence is necessary to protect a loved one?
We recently posted a video Q&A on open theism and we received a lot of positive feedback. We’re happy to share another of these today on the question of non-violence. Greg has answered this question previously, but he expands on his answer here in a way he never has before. Be blessed!
Boy, Is Our Face Red
We know. You’re wondering why we told you the posters were here a month ago and you still haven’t gotten yours. We don’t blame you for wondering about that. In fact, we’re pretty frustrated (and more than a little embarrassed) ourselves. We’d like to say that we’re really sorry it’s taken sooooooooooo long. When we…
Who’s the God in Your Head?
The mission of ReKnew is to encourage Christians and non-Christians to rethink through things they previously thought they knew. The nine proclamations of the ReKnew Manifesto reflect nine aspects of traditional Christianity, and especially Evangelical Christianity, that we believe need to be reconceived. These by no means exhaust the things ReKnew will be concerned with,…
