We love laughter and no-holds-barred messages that question the answers and unmask the illusions as we search for the next chapter together. This is 55 minutes of authentic storytelling, great coffee, and meaningful conversation — with the music of Brad Thompson (Fort Worth Star Telegram’s “Best Local Musician”) and the Revolution Band doing some of your favorite pop, classic rock, and acoustic songs.
We’re passionately inclusive here at eleven:eleven, whether you identify as LGBTQ+ or straight, conservative or liberal, Christian or agnostic, young or old — or anywhere in between and beyond. We’re casual, “come as you wish,” non–traditional, and always curious about kindness, justice, our stories, Jesus’ life — and how to do our lives better.
Here’s your invitation to reconnect your spirit without disconnecting your mind. We believe in the universal love of God and your next adventure. Join this growing community and become part of our story — and let’s see where it takes us! #1111FUMCFW
In this age of truthiness and an increasingly uncomfortable relationship between politics and religion, and the truth claims politicians make in the name of religion, maybe like me you sometimes find it difficult to know what to believe.
This week, as we celebrate July 4th, Independence Day, I offer you a few thoughts and quotes to take you into the weekend. And I invite you to join me Sunday, ONLINE, for a very special eleven:eleven, downtown celebration.
What is Christianity to you? What does it mean to have faith in Christ?
In a culture driven by novelty, commerce, and productivity, and measures of success in that reality, we’re not so good at keeping time. Rather time seems to have its hold on us.
This Sunday, let’s look at resurrection, not as resuscitation, but as participation — cultivating empathy and action for the transformation of the world.
This Sunday, January 10 (the Sunday after Epiphany and 9 days post New Year’s Day), I want to invite you on an epiphanal journey with me for the next three Sundays: “Happy New Year — The Uncertain Tour!”
I wrote this parable some years ago. It’s adapted from a riddle I’d heard as a kid. Only now has it begun to make sense to me. I hope it offers a window of illumination and inspiration for you this season of Advent in a time of COVID.
Anger, frustration, is an insidious fact of life. We’re wired for it, so that all it takes is a trigger and we’re off. And therein lies a conundrum.
Christian living is living moment to moment as an expression of Shalom — an average day like any other day (which, to clarify, is always a God-moment waiting to be discovered!)
