Eric Knox – Ask Me Anything from Imago Dei on Vimeo.

We’re continuing the “Ask Me Anything” series, where you all get to submit questions for an Imago staff member. We’ll pick the top five questions and have the person answer them on-camera.

Next up is Eric Knox, one of our new Executive Pastors. He hails from Los Angeles, but has spent quite a bit of time in Portland, and has partnered with Imago many times over the years. We’re super stoked to have him on staff! Over the next 72 hours, please ask him anything — no, seriously, anything — in the comment section. If you don’t want us to use your name, you can send it in an e-mail to sarah@imagodeicommunity.com. Your questions can be serious or funny, shallow or deep. Nothing’s off limits!

Ready? Set? Go!

Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them.

And the point is to live everything. Live the questions.” — RM Rilke

or how I comb my hair, but ask me what I am living for, in detail,

ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully

for the thing I want to live for.”

–Thomas Merton

What have you been living for?

What’s keeping you from living fully in the life God’s called you to?

What would it look like to live fully for God this week?

“BOOOOOOOM.com To read up on musical/visual mayhem that makes me want to be a better artist.” – Hannah Glavor, Worship & Arts assistant

“Bonhoeffer: A Biography by Eric Metexas.  It’s a truly inspirational book of the German pastor martyred by the Nazis.” – Steve Swope, IT Specialist

“Waking the Dead by John Eldredge. War is not a subplot of the bible, but the entire back drop. We live in a dark world where we face opposition constantly. At the same time Gods promises joy and peace. They are here and they are available right now, in the midst of opposition. Paul found that peace (Phil 4) and speaks about being content through pain, hunger, and ‘whatever the circumstance.’  A great book and super encouraging for those young and mature in their faith.” – Eric Brown, Pastor of Administration

“I try to listen to one of the archived sermons from the Imago App at least 2 times a week.  Being a mom of two school-aged children, listening to a sermon rather than finding time to sit down is very doable, and I find myself feeling content as I move into the rest of my day.”  - Gena Siegel, Director of Women’s Formation

“The Old Way: A Story of the First People by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas. It’s quick to read, perfect for weekend reading!  Interesting chapters on the family life of the San people before modern culture.  Also, one of the most captivating  chapters on the harmonious relationship between the San and lions which I almost skipped because it sounded boring (I’m more interested in the human relationships) but it turned out to be one of my favorite parts of the book!” – Holly Butler, bookkeeper

“Fugly horse of the day! Because I love horses and snarkiness.”  - Jen Frankamp, executive assistant to Rick McKinley
