There is a profound difference between the theology we study and the theology we actually live out.
We live in an era that is drowning in information, navigating shifting cultural frontiers, and constantly pressured by everyday issues. In the middle of all the noise, it is easy to lose our bearings. We often sense the inadequacy of mere surface-level information. We need revelation based on timeless biblical truth.
But more than being relevant, this publication seeks to present fresh truth. The Christian faith is filled with people who are convinced that there is more—more than the same teachings they receive Sunday after Sunday, more than the same podcasts they listen to, than the same books by the same authors they keep consuming. Sometimes, well-meaning friends will tell them that the “more” they are searching for is found in an experience. Where can one turn?
I am convinced that there is more—much more—in God’s Word than we know, and that the Word is the one place to which we can consistently turn in our search for “more.” If you resonate with this conviction, you have come to the right place. Whether by looking at familiar texts in a new way or by exploring lesser-known passages, this publication exists for people like you.
So, in two words: Grounded and Fresh. To be “grounded” means to be firmly tethered to reality—taking high-level biblical truth and bringing it down to where our boots actually hit the ground. And yet, my intention is to skirt around the typical takes on biblical truth and present it from the standpoint of a fresh angle. I have discovered that a new understanding leads to transformation; when the head is challenged, the heart is changed.
What to Expect Expect these articles to tackle the practical realities of such issues as dealing with anxiety, finding a different route to forgiveness than is commonly offered, and actively walking away from devastating experiences. Although we will dive deep at times, you can expect plain English, clear arguments, and ground-level application designed for real life—all from a fresh perspective.
Who I Am I bring a blend of academic rigor from my doctoral work and practical, ground-level experience serving as a chaplain in both the workplace and the local courthouse. This space is where those very real human experiences align with the timeless truth found in Scripture.
The Schedule I respect your inbox and your time. You can expect one to two articles per week to help you navigate your week with clarity and confidence.
