Intro
I write words. It’s what I love and what I do.
Some of these words deal with God, the Bible and the Church, others with life, family, nature, and the like, and others are totally made up nonsense (flrph).
You can even hire me to use my word writing talents for your beautiful/ creative/ joy-bringing/ curious/ wonderful project or event.
Why I Write
Aside from an internal compulsion that can’t resist word vomiting words in word places, I write to process hopelessness, grief, and pain so I can engage the world with a spirit full of hope and joy. My hope is that my writing can be with you when you need to find hope and joy in your life. This isn’t the place for sappy self-help, though. It’s more like blunt honesty and humor with a big picture mindset.
More About Me
I’m a pastor, a reader, a poet and writer of words, and a lover of the world’s wild places. I live, write, and minister in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and I find great hope and joy in radical new expressions of love lived out in community.
I have over a decade of experience in ministry including solo pastoring small churches and working with experimental ministries and new worshiping communities.
In addition to weekly sermons, I have written book reviews, columns, and various works of poetry.
