  • trinitys & transactions

    Ok, so I’ve thinking about this for a while.
    As a church, we’ve been working through a series of teachings called “i DO want a new marriage.” These teachings are in response to the overwhelming need for help, restoration, and reconciliation of marital relationships in our community.
    One of the questions we have to ask is [...]

    One of my latest projects has been chairing a committee which is putting on a themed, juried art show & sale in the beginning of May. Here’s an update on what’s going on, and how if you feel so compelled, you can be a part of it:
    //IN THIS UPDATE OF ‘BEGINNINGS’:

  • how long can I tread water?

    I am feeling fairly overwhelmed this week. It feels like I am treading a bit of water. There is a lot that has to happen in a very short amount of time. Stuff for the arts show, college@cfc stuff (student transitions into/out-of), MBA stuff, projects around the house, etc. The next several weeks will [...]

  • donuts & smokes

    So every wednesday morning, some of my best friends gather at the local donut shop, the Donut Bank (which is more like a local donut dynasty) to discuss the scriptures and partake of the wonders of the fruit fritter.
    This morning we were wading through Ezekiel and lamenting how people are beholden to their idols (that [...]

    I’m taking some vacation next week. We’re not going anywhere, but we’re going to enjoy it. The boys are on spring break, we’re going to play hard, and we will also be able to take care of some little projects around the house…..it’s a great thing.
    Please continue to pray for artists who are preparing pieces for ‘Beginnings’, [...]

  • the really, really free market

    I want to know who is going to be the person or group in Evansville to pull this one off…..
    “The Really, Really Free Market”
    I’m sure someone will say that there is no benefit in it, or a waste of time, but one thing is for sure, in our consumption driven society, the idea of a [...]

  • cracks and the suffering of the world

    I picked up a great new read from the library the other day…
    How to be an explorer of the world. by Keri Smith.
    It’s on a near tangent of the book, the Dangerous Books for Boys
    It contains 59 explorations to take in the world you find yourself in. It is masterful at training observation and [...]

  • the power connection

    So, for years (literally a decade) our church has published this thing called the power connection. Essentially, it is a printed blog where the staff (pastor, director, and global outreach) can communicate prayer requests and updates to the church body. Since it is essentially a blog on paper, and since I update it every [...]

Welcome to the joshschuler experiment.

I'm on this journey like many others. I belong to a long and cherished tradition of those who would dare to think differently, challenge status quo, and never cease to ask the question, "why?" I am a lifelong resident of Evansville, IN. My wife and I will be married 10 years this summer, and we are blessed with 2 wonderful sons, and a beautiful daughter. I am a graduate of the University of Southern Indiana, and I have a killer job. I currently serve as the Director of College Ministry at Christian Fellowship Church. This essentially means I am called upon to aid college-age young adults in their pursuit of spiritual formation. In addition to my position at the church, I am also currently pursuing my M.B.A. from the University of Southern Indiana.
