Greg Boyd is a fascinating person. Listening to Greg speak is a simply wonderful experience – his manor is both passionate and intellectual. Often listening to speakers and preachers is a boring and dull experience, but not Greg. You have to be thinking to actively listen to Pastor Greg. You can see his weekly talks at the website www.whchurch.org or online at the Woodland Hills Church social site, called “The Bridge”. At www.whchurch.org you can also get service times, directions and location of the church. They have many other ministries available, such as counseling for many different areas of life, small groups, food shelf, kids ministries, homeless shelters and much much more.
Greg was listed as one of the top 20 Christian scholars of all time. His contributions via his speaking and writing are invaluable to Christians. He has a firm grasp on what it means to be in a relationship with God and is a huge blessing. He shares a message of love and mercy that God is showing in how Jesus lived his life on earth.
The first exposure I had to Greg Boyd was when he started a sermon series at Woodland Hills Church, called “Beautiful Life”. The Beautiful Life series was exploring how Jesus intended us to live. In spite of the many horrible things around us, God wants us to share in the beauty that He is. What a refreshing message that there is hope and that God wants good for us and not evil. God isn’t waiting to punish us, but waiting to hear from us and enjoy a daily ongoing, interactive connection.
Other messages about getting rid of all boundaries that we have in our lives – social, racial, economical and other that are simple not what God has for us. It doesn’t matter what country we’re in, what color we are, what gender or anything else – just God’s love.
Greg has authored a number of books, including some of my favorite, Repenting from Religion and Escaping The Matrix.

And we can’t leave without sharing Greg’s drum solo. I never saw or realized that something fun like playing drums could be offered to God and done in a way that can inspire others to be in a relationship with God.
THANK YOU GREG FOR YOUR EXAMPLE!
