I am created in the image of God. I am forgiven by him, at peace with him and am his child (as are you).
I am a son to two parents who would give their life for me if called upon (thanks mom and dad).
I am the husband of one beautiful, sensitive and deeply caring woman (I love you Jen).
I am the father of two (soon to be three!) children whom I would give my life for (Caleb, you make me proud and are a great lover of God and people. Ashlyn, you are the most adorable girl I know…some guy is going to be VERY lucky. Baby, see you this summer).
I am also a dog owner (Cheddar…woof, woof, arf).
I live in Folsom, CA (yes, the home of that prison made famous by Johnny Cash) where I have a great group of friends whom I love, accept and enjoy; jazzed, as I am often more of an observer of how God is working in their hearts and lives to draw them to Him. I am beginning my pursuit of a second Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design from the Academy of Arts.
I prefer Facebook over MySpace.
My motivational spiritual gift is that of a prophet. I am an INFP (see this page for more info on INFP).
This blog focuses on how we can join God in his work of mending, which is going on all around us, in and outside of the church…all we have to do is live in tune to God’s song in our life and the world. This mending, I have found, often comes with a shift in thinking and living.
So, now that you know a bit more “about” me (I also have a personal blog about my life and family here), I would love to know more about you. I’d love to hear, or read, your story. Who knows, maybe we can even sit down over a cup of coffee and move beyond knowing “about” each other, to knowing each other––I feel God wants the same in his friendship with us.

Jeromy,
This has little to do with anything but your blog name reminded me of something funny McLaren said once about his blog. In an interview he invited people to his website, DeepShift and said, “don’t forget the ‘f’”
haha.
peace,
Chad

Well, I am sure some think it is a Mending Shift without the “F”. But a lot seem to resonate with it as well. Too funny.

Hi Jeromy,
I am busy working on a dissertation. I saw the article on What If the Church was Invisible? March 3/08. I would like to include your article in the appendix of my dissertation. I believe that it is open for use as long as credit is given to the author but I thought that I would write and ask permission anyway.
I could not find a personal email spot on your site so here’s my request.
Thanks, Barb

Hi Barb,
Sure, feel free to use it. Thanks for your integrity. What is your dissertation about? Do you mind sending me a copy when it is done? I would love to read it. I’ll email you with my email address.
