The Obligatory End-of-Year Post
I can’t be the only one who loses track of what day it is between Christmas and New Year’s. Time feels suspended during those days—neither one year nor the next. It’s a liminal space, a stretch of time that almost seems to exist outside the calendar altogether. Yet in this space, I am reminded to Continue reading

Recent Reads and Reflections vol. III
My goal for 2025 was to read 25 books. I fell short, finishing 20 instead. Yet as I look back, I realize the true value was never in reaching a number. The reward was found in the quiet hours spent reading, in the ideas that challenged me, and in the knowledge that stayed with me Continue reading

The Ever-Changing Trends—and the Unchanging Truth
“The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.” – Winston Churchill Clothing trends are a fascinating phenomenon. Have you ever walked through a mall, an amusement park, or any crowded place, looked around, and thought, “What in the world are people wearing?” Our society Continue reading

Reclaiming the Historic Faith: Why Creeds & Confessions Still Matter
The Roots of Faith and the Role of Creeds Several traits run deep in Southern American culture—faith, firearms, and food. Among these, faith stands out as a defining thread woven into the very fabric of the South. It’s no surprise that a church can be found on nearly every corner. One might pass a Methodist Continue reading

Theological Triage – Doctrinal Devotion or Division?
The doctrinal diversity within the Christian faith is wide to say the least. This diversity, in some cases, is unnecessarily growing (much to the disappointment of more orthodox Christians) to include completely bizarre, extra-biblical, and progressive theologies. With all of this diversity in belief and practice, how do you determine what hills to die on? Continue reading

My Journey through Northern Europe: Part I
Some trips you plan for months; others just sort of happen. This one fell somewhere in between. A cheap ticket, a little curiosity, and a free week were all it took for me to find myself hopping across Northern Europe — four countries in five days: Finland, Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia. My first of many Continue reading

Autumn Invites Us to Wander
There is something special about getting up early to catch a flight to a far-off place or to drive the backroads of America as the sun slowly climbs over the horizon. The air feels fresher, the world quieter, as though it is holding its breath and waiting for the day to begin. Travel always carries Continue reading

The Message of the Cross
…but we preach Christ crucified… 1 Corinthians 18:23 The message of the cross is lunacy and absurd for the perishing. A stumbling block for the sage. An offensive display of death. The world’s standard of wisdom glances upon the cross and turns its back. Walking away he shouts, “The gospel is foolish!” But for the Continue reading

Does Failure Equal Growth?
Does failure equal growth? That’s a great question! Let me share a short story of how I chose to grow after a leadership failure. I had only been at LifeWay Christian Resources for a few months when my manager approached me. He told me he saw leadership potential in me and wanted to begin training Continue reading

The Imputed Righteousness of Christ
“Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness” – Romans 4:3 Imputed Righteousness: A Reflection I am almost ashamed to admit that the meaning of the term imputed, as it relates to biblical righteousness, was lost on me until only a few years ago. At a Christian conference, I wandered into a Continue reading

Recent Reads and Reflections vol. II
Lately, I’ve found myself buried in books more than ever, and I’m not entirely sure why. Maybe it’s that other forms of media have lost their shine. Television offers little worth watching, and platforms like Facebook and Instagram seem more like time-eaters and self-esteem thieves than sources of joy. Books, on the other hand, have Continue reading
