Gonna Live Again. Welcome Home. Jesus Bring New Wine Out of Me. @weareamplifychurch - celebrating the opening of our new church home in Uptown on 5th Avenue. From Smallman to Heinz to Hillman to here, it’s been a wild journey. So much hard work has gone into making this dream a reality through the efforts of many hands & feet. Thankful for all of the servant leader teams & the work that goes unseen. I played a small, minuscule part in this new buildings development, (mostly just helped hang some lights) but I was honored to tear down & load the truck almost every week while our congregation was transient. I’m excited to start serving on the broadcast team next week. I’m thankful for the wisdom of the contractors, the mastermind ambition of the new campus project manager (Heather), & Jason’s vision. I’m continually amazed at how when two or more of us gather the Spirit finds a way into the room to speak to our hearts no matter where we are at in this city. ❤️

📢📢📢 I am EXTREMELY DELIGHTED -- like, OVER THE MOON -- to announce that @thehikarism will direct the 'Eleanor & Park' film being produced by @picturestart and Plan B Entertainment. HIKARI wrote and directed one of my favorite movies from last year -- '37 Seconds' -- which you can watch on Netflix all over the world, I think. It is a BEAUTIFUL and BEAUTIFULLY HUMAN film. (And it’s about comics!) Of all my characters, I always feel most protective of Park and Eleanor. They feel vulnerable to me. Like, their hearts are just right there, exposed. HIKARI is such a compassionate and open-hearted filmmaker. And she's already so loving and kind to the characters 🧡🧡🧡 The whole team at PICTURESTART and Plan B has been so thoughtful. Christina Oh, one of the producers at Plan B, CAME TO OMAHA to see where Eleanor and Park live, and to work with me on the script. (WHEN SOMEONE COMES TO OMAHA FOR YOU, YOU KNOW THEY'RE FOR REAL.) Park and Eleanor are in good hands... And casting starts next week!

I lost a friend today.
Our Chatham community and the Greater Pittsburgh writing community lost one of its brightest stars.

Jeffrey “Boosie” Bolden was struck by a vehicle while walking on a back road in Mississippi. He unfortunately succumbed to his injuries.

Boosie was a fiercely talented spoken word poet and author of his signature story / song collages. We had a Wildness Lit class together and sometimes we would sit near each other in the circle of desks. We developed a friendship of mutual respect. During one particular class I could tell he was bothered by something and he was in the right to be agitated. Right before break as some students were shuffling out of the room—I simply uttered, “Boosie, I see you, I hear you.” That feels like the foundational moment of our friendship—as with any friendship it’s vital to be there & listen.
Boosie showed up for everyone. I always admired the support he gave to his fellow writers. A fond memory I have is when he and I attended the Chatham undergraduate lit mag (Minor Bird) launch together to support our friends Jess and Indigo during one of their final readings.

Boosie was a massive dreamer—and I always admired his undeniable work ethic. He was always grinding, always writing—on mission, on journey, on a quest. His death still seems unreal to me and the shockwaves continue to reverberate throughout our community. I just pre-ordered his book, WOLVES, that’s due out this November on Tolsun Books. The last memory I have with Boosie was at Shan’s book launch on the rooftop of Smith Brother’s agency across from PNC Park last September.
The last words I remember him saying to me were (after sharing a spiritual story):
“This is something (a journey) you’ve been on and exploring for quite some time, isn’t it?” A common theme I’m noticing in everyone’s tributes is how Boosie attempted to meet each person wherever he or she was in their respective life journey. He once left me a little message that said “Dope” commenting on a Roy Batty Blade Runner image I posted. This is such a sad season, but I’ll always remember that joyous resonance that Boosie brought to every room.

Rest peacefully, King.

I am a Man! I am a black Man. I am a family Man. I am a son of God. Like you I am a huMan.
I deserve to be treated as such!
I should not fear those that are sworn to protect me. How can it be right to kill a man who is handcuffed and outnumbered. A Man pleading for his life. There needs to be justice. #justice #georgefloyd #Icantbreathe

I’d like to take a moment to say how proud I am to be a friend of @zryder85 - In a world of weekend warriors and “play wrestlers”, this dude exudes passion and drive for pro-wrestling like no other. Through 14 years to see him CONSISTENTLY try to better himself(whether that be his in-ring work, or watching him physically mold himself and his body into such a specimen DRUG FREE with hard work and will). I have a little rule, and that’s that if you’ve ever “gotten over” in wrestling...you can always do so again. That rule being fully applicable to Matt now. At 34 years young, his best wrestling days are ahead of him. Cheers to a great start and 14 years of unrelenting blood, sweat, and tears. Future endeavors are limitless when you actually endeavor. I chose this picture because it was one of my last days at WWE, watching 80,000+ people applaud as Matt won gold was an eruption not only live in the arena but in the locker room as well. Hearing Dolph coordinate for his father to come over the rails(meanwhile I was ass deep into a broken ladder and stuck but had the best seat in the house) and seeing father/son embrace, I thought I’d be jealous or bitter, but I was truly happy and proud for one of my peers. Congratulations my friend, and good luck!
