Welcome to my new blog.  My name is Michael Joens.  My goal for this blog is to talk about Christian essentials––islands in the stream of world culture, a culture that is fluid, always moving, ever-changing.  I trust that my writing will be winsome, entertaining and insightful, pointing always to the Rock of our faith, Jesus Christ––the God-Man who seeks to save lost sinners.

It’s my hope to post a couple times a week to start, and hopefully gain momentum in time.  I really would love to have a conversation with you, so please respond in the comments section if you want to say something.  If you like what I say, let me know.  If you disagree, that’s okay.  That’s what makes a relationship interesting, and it will help us to grow in our pursuit of truth, joy, and God’s desire for our lives.

I look forward to beginning a new adventure with you!

Mike
