Welcome to The Art of Churchcraft!
Hello! My name is Matt Holmes. I am the senior minister at Turner Christian Church, with a background in political philosophy and political theology. I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Ministry at Emmanuel Christian Seminary, where I am developing a project to help congregational leaders navigate divisive political climates in a way that is faithful to the Biblical political vision and strengthens the unity, identity and mission of the congregation.
I call this project "The Art of Churchcraft."
This project is under development, but as I have opportunities to speak to various groups about this subject, I am often asked where people can get recordings of the speeches or copies of my notes. I have created this blog to serve as a gathering point for the various content that I create and present. At first it will be mainly videos of my presentations, links to my notes, and lists of recommended reading. In the future I will have written content to post, including (hopefully) entries written specifically for this blog. I appreciate your interest in this material, and I hope you will check back for more content periodically.
Most of all, I encourage comments and questions--my hope is that, by making this content available to more people, I can gather feedback to make the material more accurate and more helpful.
Below is a list of content that is or will be posted on this blog. I will update this list as content is posted.
God bless!
