We almost subtitled our current Crash series “Implementing the Resurrection”, instead of “Living the Resurrection”. An odd choice of words, I know. But is that not the great struggle of the Resurrection? The great struggle of all great ideas? Implementation is hard. Ask any great visionary, any great communicator. You can talk about something, get [...]

No mountain to steep…if you’re being carried

I had one of those weeks, you know, the kind where you hope you only have one in a lifetime. The type that has you dealing with life and death, love and hate, past and future, others and yourself. The kind of week that leaves you shaking your head at the actions of some and [...]
Dallas Willard and the Gospel of Sin Management

One of my favorite authors and Christian thinkers is Dallas Willard. I spent six months in his book, Divine Conspiracy, in 2006. an EPIC book on Jesus, discipleship, and spiritual formation. Well worth your time. I referred to one of his ideas in my Crash talk on April 19th. This is the context of this [...]
reading the fine print

One of my favorite commercials recently comes from the Mac vs. PC series.

I have to review the fine print on iTunes every time there is [...]

There I was, five-year-old Matt strutting down the neighborhood street in my awesome Superman pajamas–my cape was blowing in the wind and I was poised to rescue all in need of help. Well, I didn’t leap any tall buildings that day, but I did stop my neighbor friend from picking on his little sister. So…that’s [...]

Matt wrote directed and starred in an adaptation of the appendix of N.T. Wright’s book “Surprised by Hope”. I just pushed record on the camera. We used this right before my talk on Easter Sunday at Crash.

This is my ministry…..but where is my paycheck?
Posted in Danny Ortega, Uncategorized on April 13, 2009 | 13 Comments »
So this is a sensitive one for me. I know a lot of people that get paid to be in the ministry…..I really don’t have any issue with that. I think what bugs me is this arbitrary “ministry for cash” program that I see more and more. I have people in my life that “are [...]

understanding myself
Posted in Uncategorized on April 3, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I tend to be pretty hyperactive when it comes to reading and consuming information. (yes friends – a deep revelation and moment of self-realization, I know). I am in the middle of who knows how many books right now for school and fun. I browse 10-15 blogs a day. I am normally working on [...]
