As you may have figured out after seeing the girl at Starbucks with the big black X on her forehead – Today is Ash Wednesday.  The start of Lent.  A season of Preparation, Introspection, and Devotion as we move towards Easter Weekend.

Instead of breaking down Lent, we thought it would be best to point you to one of the BEST Daily Lent Reflection Guides we’ve found.  It’s from an organization called CRM (Church Resource Ministries).  It’s a collection of Daily Readings from a book they printed a few years back.  They are incredible.

We’d love for you to join with Soul City in this journey as we prepare together for Easter.

You can get your CRM Lent Reflections HERE.

It would be really cool for you to Comment and let us know that you are doing this with us.

Today Jarrett and Jeanne will view over a dozen homes in downtown Chicago in an attempt to lock in where we will be living…in 3 weeks.  This is not how we would have planned for or desired, but it seems like God is more interested in growing our faith than He is coddling to our [...]

We just shipped out our Monthly Soul City Snapshot today and we think you might dig it.  It’s full of all kinds of Insider Information that you can’t get through our Site or our Blog.
So, if you’re not yet a Subscriber, you can do so by clicking HERE.  Once you do, you’ll become a member [...]

Tonight marks the Beginning of the End of LOST.  I can’t even begin to tell you how DEEP I am into this show and it’s endless mythology and storytelling.  (If I told you that I owned not 1 but 2 Lost T-Shirts…would you still love me?)
However, I’ve noticed that for every 1 FAN of Lost there [...]

“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others [...]

If you’re familiar with Gary Vaynerchuk either through Winelibrary.com or his new book – Crush It, than you know that he is an insane entrepreneur who has a tendency to get a little excited.
While listening to an over-excited Vaynerchuk on a recent podcast, he passionately pontificated on the new “THANK YOU ECONOMY” that we are [...]

This is an interview that appears today on ronedmondson.com.  Ron is a great Thinker / Pastor / Leader / Social Media Maven who has been a great support to Soul City Church.  For some reason he thought it might be interesting to interview me.  Go figure.
I have only recently started following Jarrett Stevens closely, but I [...]

I am honored today to participate in the celebration of one of our countries finest sons – Rev Martin Luther King Jr.  To reflect and remember this legacy in Atlanta amongst friends and family of the late MLK is both Humbling and Inspiring.
What is perhaps most amazing in the midst of our National Canonized Respect [...]

“But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.  He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out it’s roots by the stream.  It does not fear when heat comes; it’s leaves are always green.  It has no worries in a year of drought and [...]

The images coming in from Haiti are truly horrific (which is why we chose the image above).  It’s easy to watch an hour of CNN and be left worse than when you started.  That level of intensity and catastrophe can tend to lead us down one of two paths:

A numbed sense of powerlessness and detachment
or
A [...]
