What's the flipside?

"I'll catch you on the flip-side"

This is a term used by radio DJ's, balding middle-aged men who are experiencing a severe midlife crisis, and Rocco on the pay phone (you can do what you want in Boston), but what does it have to do with a blog? 

I was "saved", "baptized", "converted", whatever you want to call it, at a young age and grew up in the church. I even currently work as a interim student pastor at a Baptist church in West Virginia while at the same time finishing up my senior year at a C of C school. All of this to say that I have been around "Christian" things for a long time. 

In my life (an astounding 21 years thus far), I have noticed a few things. Mainly, we draw a severe bold line between "world" things and "Christian" things. Granted, sometimes these things are easy to see (Strip Clubs, pornography, binge drinking are "worldly activities" while attending church, reading the Bible, and praying are "Christian things"). Other times, the labels of "worldly" and "Christian" seem to be interesting (example: what officially constitutes "Christian" music?). 

This blog is not here to necessarily solve these things, it is to show the flipside. I firmly believe that James was correct when he wrote that "every good gift and every perfect gift is from above", so this blog is to help show where the good gifts might be. I'll share my feelings and thoughts on everything ranging from sports, movies, and tv to religion, politics, and social media. Will these necessarily be filled with scripture references and application? I doubt it, but don't be surprised if it comes up. This is simply a place to help shine light in a new way on things we may/may not encounter in our daily lives. 

I hope you enjoy this journey to explore the flipside.
