Jesus Under Plastic

If I can get this working, this will only archive posts earlier than Oct-Nov 2009, posted originally at my previous blog Jesus Under Plastic (formerly chrisridgeway.blogspot.com). My blogging then still contained posts on christianity, digital culture, and more, but lots of other stuff from campus ministry and seminary besides.

About Me

Chris Ridgeway

Retro-identity idea:  define yourself by magazines.  Me?  Wired. Paste. Atlantic Monthly. Discipleship Journal. Or this:  For ten years I've worked as a leadership coach, spiritual director, and free agent missionary with Great Commission Ministries on its mission to reach the next generation—I currently serve as the national Staff Program Manager for GCM, helping train and equip church planters, campus missionaries , and other missional leaders.  My area of curiosity is the impact of an information society on Christian theology, especially a doctrine of scripture.  Does text messaging modify our view of the Trinity? Oh yeah, and I'm inexcusably addicted to breakfast diners.  New home base:  Orlando, FL. Home home:  Chicago-ish.
