Church on Tap started like this... It occurred to me one day that the older I get the less true male friendships I have.  I think this is fundamentally true for all men at some point during our journey. The older we get, the more entrenched we become. Little by little, the years pass. We plow ourselves into our families, our business, our routines...and time slips by.   Interestingly, we start to think that we really don't need friends to lean on anymore.  Men live oddly private, quiet lives and …

Enron. The BP oil spill. The financial crisis. Wall Street vs. Main Street. Lately, we can’t seem to find a newspaper that hasn’t written a story about big corporations and bad behavior. Not surprisingly, trust amongst consumers is at an all time low. But in reality, more and more businesses are using their resources to do good in the world, and a new breed of entrepreneurs and enterprises are emerging whose operations directly provide a net benefit to society. Some of these organizations are fo …
