Just being at #icorphan was a privilege. Sitting on a panel with five other amazing bloggers to discuss online activism was an absolute honor. Our topic: Online Activism and the Weary Reader The panel: (l-r in the image) Kristen Howerton, Elora Ramirez, me, Amber Haines, Kristen Welch, and Lindsey Nobles. Our goal: To wrestle with [...]

![icorphan wrap-up [one of those rock moments]](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/icorphan-artwork-100x100.jpg)
Charles Lee told us at the beginning of the conference that at each of the tables we would find jars of rocks and crayons. He encouraged us draw on the paper that covered the tables, but the rocks were to be used for special moments. He told us that if we had one of those [...]

![the orphan i am [a theology of adoption]](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/haiti-hug-100x100.jpg)
It’s always been easy for me to overlook the orphan care epidemic as something that ‘other people’ are working on. And because the Bible talks a lot about taking care of the fatherless and the orphan, I’ve always considered their work admirable… and potentially worthy of support. That is until I spent some time with [...]

![@theideacamp family week wrap-up [#ICSEX]](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/ICSex_banner_300x250-100x100.jpg)
Life in a fallen world is tough. Not only do we have to live it out ourselves, but we also have to raise up the next generation to do the same… hopefully without too much heartache. For several weeks now bloggers everywhere have shared their stories related to pornography, abuse, orientation, and other issues. And [...]
@theideacamp slavery week wrap-up [#ICSEX]
Most people don’t like to think about this sort of thing. And those that are confronted with it are usually outraged, but often don’t know what they can do to help. The truth is that human trafficking and sex slavery is probably happening within a couple of miles of where you live, right now. This [...]

![here comes the [mail order] bride trafficking [#ICSEX]](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/mail-order-bride-100x100.jpg)
I know that this one won’t make me the most popular kid on the block. And I want to start by saying that not everyone who goes this route should be classified as having the same motives. However, the mail-order bride business is a big one where abuses can often be overlooked. Typically, there are [...]
@theideacamp sexual orientation week wrap-up [#ICSEX]
Why did this week’s blogging series have to be one of the most awkward that I’ve ever been a part of? Seriously… I was blown away by how much people opened up during weeks like PORN WEEK and ABUSE WEEK. But now it seems that we’re talking about homosexuality, I know that even the strongest [...]
how to cure homosexuality? [#ICSEX]
![how to cure homosexuality? [#ICSEX]](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/gay_exorcism_sign-100x100.jpg)
What I’m about to share is something that turns my stomach. I’m not writing today to debate what’s right or wrong about homosexuality. There are theologians who are way smarter than me that do a good enough job with keeping that discussion going. I don’t want to talk about whether or not someone is ‘born [...]
@theideacamp gender week wrap-up [#ICSEX]
I’d first like to start with an apology. My mission trip to Haiti impaired my ability to keep up with certain aspects of this project more that I anticipated. Nonetheless, there were some incredible posts that came in! This week was GENDER WEEK, the third of the six-week series of discussions on various sex-related topics. As you [...]
a hermeneutic on gender and ministry [#ICSEX]
![a hermeneutic on gender and ministry [#ICSEX]](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/first-century-synagogue-100x100.jpg)
Few things bother me as much as misinterpreted and misapplied scripture. And (I believe) one of the worst examples of this is around the issue of women’s role in ministry in the church. There are many that disagree with women being active in ministry, and others that would go so far as to say that [...]
@theideacamp sex abuse week wrap-up [#ICSEX]
Dang… I thought #ICSEX Porn Week was tough… But this issue of sexual abuse was more difficult that I could have imagined. I’m still in shock at some of the stories and perspectives that I’ve read. If I could give an online version of a standing ovation to those who shared this week, then I [...]

![behind the numbers of sexual abuse [#ICSEX]](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/Light-in-the-darkness-100x100.jpg)
We’ve heard the stories about the damage of sexual abuse. And others have shared about our attitudes towards victims of abuse. So it’s easy to imagine that Sex Abuse Week with The Idea Camp blogging series has been a tough one for lots of people involved. But I want to look at this issue from [...]

![#ICSEX: [@theideacamp blogging series]](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/adam-eve-censored-100x100.png)
Authentic conversation about sex is one of the most needed elements in a healthy church today. The fact that people feel like they can’t talk about certain struggles or issues only perpetuates the problem into bigger issues. I’m thankful that Charles Lee has given me the opportunity lead a blogging series on subjects related to [...]
@theideacamp porn week wrap-up [#ICSEX]
I don’t know if I really knew what to expect when I agreed to lead a blogging series on sex for The Idea Camp. But I know that anytime you get a bunch of bloggers together to talk with a single focus, the result is usually something pretty special. This week was PORN WEEK, the [...]

![10 things i learned from joey and chandler about porn [#ICSEX]](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/joey-chandler-chairs-100x100.jpg)
It’s ‘porn week‘ with @theideacamp. This means that several of us are talking about an issue that is often very uncomfortable for the church to discuss. When we do talk about it, all we usually have to say is, “porn bad” or, “porn is the devil”. And that doesn’t paint a clear picture of what [...]
let’s blog about sex [#ICSEX]
I’m pretty excited about this project! Not only is it probably one of the biggest blogging projects that I’ve had the opportunity to organize, but it’s probably one of the most needed conversations in the church today. I recently shared that The Idea Camp is running an event this September on the topic of ‘sex’. [...]

Last summer in Uganda I heard about an injustice that absolutely broke my heart for a couple of reasons. First, because of what was being done to take advantage young men and women (really boys and girls). And second, because the church was being used as the tool to make it happen. Essentially, I was [...]

Recently, I had the opportunity to chat with idea-maker Charles Lee about one of his latest ventures… The Ideation Conference. If it is anything like his other projects (specifically The Idea Camp), then this is certainly going to be something that you’ll want to check out. Here’s what Charles had to say about his latest [...]

Some people are just natural leaders. It probably has to do with their unique abilities to take an idea, shape it, and then shout it from the rooftops that makes people take notice… and follow. I first encountered Charles Lee on Twitter. I noticed some mutual friends talking about this crazy new event called The [...]
