About Noel

Hi, I’m Noel.
I am one of the pastors at Riverview Church in the Lansing, Michigan area. We have a venue in Holt and one on the campus of Michigan State University.
You can read about my faith story here.
So…why do I blog? Well, 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 have blogs that are just church or theology related. My goal is a little bit different. I want to live my life as publicly as I comfortably can. This blog is a microcosm of my life–my doctrine, my teachings, my parenting, my friends, my passions, my pet-peeves–it’s all here in one form or another. The only arenas I shy from are ones that my wife and I decide will help us live as normal a life as possible. At minimum, I try to post church related stuff on Mondays, book reviews on Wednesdays, and randomness on Fridays. I don’t always hit all of these each week, but such is life.
This blog is only a small part of my online world, so make sure you check out the links on the right side of this page to connect to my Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts.
Peace out, homies.
Noel
