My name is Eric Guel. I've been involved with Antioch since the fall of 1995 (in the Highland Baptist Church days). Back in those days most people called me Bird, a childhood nickname. I still answer to that name, and many of my close friends still default to that name when talking to me.

As far as my history with Antioch goes, I cut my teeth at Baylor Landing Lifegroups in the mid-90s, married a beautiful Highland/Antioch woman in 1997, and to this day my wife and four children all enjoy fellowship with the imperfect community of believers under the arch at 20th and Waco Drive.

The purpose of this blog is to chronicle my week-to-week life at Antioch. Truth be told, I don't have much of an agenda here. I didn't create this space in order to criticize my church (though some things I write may be construed that way), and I didn't make this blog in order to be obsequious to anyone or anything associated with Antioch. In all things, I hope this blog honors the Lord, and I hope anyone who identifies with Antioch will find it interesting, informative, and encouraging.

Welcome to Under the Arch.
