About
Hi, I’m Noel.
I am a pastor at Riverview Church in Holt, Michigan. We are on the border of East Lansing, home of Michigan State University (where my wife and I met and lot of our church attenders come from).
You can read about my faith story here.
So…why do I blog?
Once upon a time, I did a podcast on this topic. You can download that here.
But for those of you too lazy to listen, here’s the summary: I blog for two reasons.
For Me
- I use this blog to work out my faith publicly
- I use this blog to combat hypocrisy in my own life
For Others
- I use this blog as a teaching tool
- I use this blog as a connection point
A lot of pastors I know do blogs that are just work or theology related. I have one of those, too. You can find it at WalkTheRazor.com. My goal on this site is different. I want to live my life as publically as I comfortably can. This blog showcases my life–my doctrine, my teachings, my parenting, my friends, my passions, my pet-peeves–it’s all here.
Lisa Eldred, who is one of the best Keynote people we have at Riverview, is also a Digital Rhetoric masters student at MSU.
For some odd reason, she chose to make me the focus of her most recent project. Basically, it’s a study of how I use and interact with technology as part of my job. The project was so well done, I asked her if I could add it to my site.
I will warn you that it takes awhile to load each page, depending on your connection speed. Be patient, for crying out loud.
