About Me

Welcome to my blog.  This summer, I serve as the Director for Recreation and Community Life at Montreat Conference Center in Montreat, North Carolina.  A recent graduate of Columbia Theological Seminary, in Decatur, Georgia, I lived in Ayr, Scotland for 10 months where I completed an assistant ministership at St. Columba Church in Ayr, Scotland.  Soon, I am moving to Grand Forks, North Dakota.

gravitarI’m originally from Tallahassee, Florida but spent four years at the wonderful St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota before attending seminary in Georgia.

I like sharp cheddar, local beers, and contemporary fiction.  I’ve been happily married to Megan, both brilliant and beautiful, for going on three years.

I currently serve the greater church as a member of the Presbyterian Committee on Congregational Song, a group tasked with developing the next hymnal for the PC(USA).  I’m also a member of the coordinating group of Presbymergent.org, a body which facilitates a conversation about the emergent church and the PC(USA).

I tend to blog on church and culture, preaching, politics, the emerging church, technology (if I can understand it), and sundry items that strike my fancy.

I’m a big fan of your comments as they somewhat justify the hours spent online, so please leave them…or there’s always next time!

  2. Hi Adam and Megan,
    Joan and I just got done looking at all the pictures you’ve posted on your site. Really nice. You and Megan seem to be having one big continuous tour of Scotland. :) :) Guess you are working occasionally. :) :)
    We’ll be looking forward to hearing about your pastoring experiences.

    Your dad just posted on the church web site some pictures I took at our retreat to Dogwood Acres last weekend. It was an enjoyable experience for all of us.
    I’ve been looking into possible ways to add audio to his sermons that are posted to the web site. Hopefully we can make it work. It’s much better listening than reading.
    Hi to Megan also from both of us.
    Regards,
    Dave and Joan Custis

  3. it’s always a treat to find an fellow citizen of USA being a pastor in Scotland. I married into it (hubby’s a minister too). I’m way up in Aberdeenshire, but I think I know someone you might know in Graeme Wilson.

    Hope all is well down in Ayr.

  4. Hey! You do know that we’re both Oles right? (I graduated in 03)…and after a slight bit of facebook stalking, it looks like you know my youngest sister, too – Bethany Johnson. Gotta love the small world. :)

  5. Thanks for the strong and high quality blogging, Adam. I try to drop in from time to time and regret that this is my first comment. I do know how precious they are when one is isolated from most of his readers by an ocean or two. I’m sorry Megan’s gone, but if memory serves, she’ll be home tomorrow. Peace.

  6. Adam, my first visit to your site via CC blogs. I like your immediacy: boots, pen, Atlantic. Never thought of a magazine as a luxury. Look forward to reading more. Re: the drawing of man on donkey, reminds me of Walter Wink’s idea of Transforational Bible study, use of stuff like drawing engaging the deeper layers of personality. I’ll read your sermon with interest if you choose to post it.

  10. Your sermon on 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 was really great. I really needed someone to spell this section of scripture out for me and that’s just what you did. Thanks
