The Wayback Machine: May

Some things just get better with age. “The Wayback Machine” posts occur at the end of every month and reference the best posts of that month in years past. My hope is to provide a good jumping on point for readers who have never been to Pursuing Glory.

Encouragment

Discouragement hits believers and causes them to be confused about the things that are real and important.  This post is me reminding myself (and my readers) about the realities that are important to fight for even when things are discouraging.  If you want a window into my soul when I’m fighting to stay in the game this is a post you want to check out.

The Five Blogs I Won’t Unsubscribe

Pretty much this blog is exactly what the title describes.  I’m an avid blog reader, so I thought I would share with my readers what blogs I most enjoy.  Most of these blogs still exist in one form or another and for the most part I would still recommend, if I were to write this post again it would be much different. I also have unsubscribed from one of the blogs on this list, too. I guess we all make mistakes, huh?

Weekend

This post describes my journey to north-eastern Iowa to meet with other believers who were having more of a regional house church gathering.  This was my first attempt at meeting other believers who God has called into a similar lifestyle as us.  God also showed me some important insights into the nature of God’s Kingdom and transitioning into simple church realities.

The Wisdom of the Desert Fathers

This was a post that recounts a conversation I had with E.J. about who the desert fathers were and why they are important today.  More than anything, it’s a primer into why the devotional practices of silence, solitute, and prayer are essential for the church in this hour.

How To Get the Most Out of Pursuing Glory

There are lots of ways to get more out of Pursuing Glory than just stopping back to check for new content every few days.  Here are some of the main ways you can join the conversation, learn, and contribute to the conversation we’re having:

Subscribe by Email or RSS

If you’re not particularly technologically inclined, hit the “Email Subscription” button on the sidebar of the blog.  If you’re more into computers or you’re daring, you could subscribe to this blog using a feed reader.  This link is a great explanation of RSS and Feed Readers. Let’s face it. Life is busy and it’s easy to fall out of the loop.  Either of these tricks will help you stay involved in what’s going on.

Comment

We learn more by talking and teaching than we do by listening and reading.  So help us learn by sharing your life, your pursuit of Jesus, and what you’ve learned through your experience in the comment section. Click on “Leave a Comment” or “with 1 Comment” or “with [X number of] Comments” at the top of every post to see and leave comments.

Follow Me On Twitter

Twitter is where I post thoughts and quotes that will either become a full post here or is relevant to the topics we discuss here.  I’m also planning at least one Twitter/Blog series where one set of unique material will show up in my twitter stream that will correspond with a blog series I’m running here.  You can find me on Twitter @traviskolder.

Notes From The Margins

On a somewhat irregular basis I post a blog in my “Notes from the Margin” series.  The point of the series is not just what I’m finding in Scripture and what I write, but also what you’re finding in Scripture and what you’re writing about it.  If you have a blog, I’d love to see you take this series and do your own.  You can check out the guidelines for Notes from the Margins and read examples of the series here and here.

Email Me

I love interacting with readers of the blog.  Shoot me an email, say hi, show me the blog you’re writing or tell me about the work you’re doing, tell me what you’d like to see or what you’ve enjoyed so far.
