Store

I have books, CDs, and a video series for sale from my store page. (I wish I could just give everything away, but one must eat!)

I’m especially excited about my new book, now available: My Burden Is Light: A Pastor’s Plea for Rationality, Honesty, and Humility.

About

Adam Brooks Webber
When I was a boy, I couldn’t wait to grow up so that I could A) move away from small-town Illinois and B) stop going to church. Consequently, I am now a pastor in a small town in Illinois.

Merry, Mystical Missives

Here you’ll find everything I’ve sent out to the mailing list for The Merry Mystic.

An Evening Wasted with The Merry Mystic

Hello friends,

I’ll be emerging from my cave next month to give a live concert. The dates are Friday, October 18th, 7:00 p.m., and Saturday, October 19th, 2:00 p.m. The location is the Open Prairie United Church of Christ, which is at 25 E. Marion Street in Princeton, Illinois—behind the Apollo Theater. (Long ago, the Apollo had a stage for vaudeville shows. That’s fitting: my songs are vaudeville-adjacent!) Admission is free, with a free-will offering to support the host church, and refreshments will be offered at the intermission.

The Merry Mystic's head is packed
    with all the songs he'll spout.
That's why his hair is growing thin:
To flee the madcap mess within,
    the crew is bailing out!

Hope to see you there!

Bright blessings,

Adam

The Buddha Kicked My Butt

My little church, the Open Prairie United Church of Christ, is probably the only church for a hundred miles where I could sing this song on a Sunday morning. (It followed my sermon.) Be the Light, Merry Mystics!

These are the (mostly video) messages sent out to The Merry Mystic mailing list.

Sermons and Such

Every week, I preach in the Open Prairie United Church of Christ in Princeton, Illinois. I’m not sending most of these out to The Merry Mystic mailing list; but on the outside chance you’d like to see a sermon, here they are.

Lies Light Fuses

This is a reflection on the recent presidential debate, with help from the Book of Proverbs and the Epistle of James. (Every now and then, the lectionary readings and the events of the week seem made for each other.)

Remnant’s Hope

I’m thinking about the biblical concept of a “remnant.” Speaking of remnants: did you know that birds evolved from dinosaurs? Maybe there’s a lesson for us in there somewhere!
