"The Edge of the Inside will save the faith of some, transform the faith of others, and spark faith in many for the first time." That's a line from Greg Boyd in the foreword to my book. I pray he's right.
Today, The Edge of the Inside has officially been released into the world.
If you could have ...
I've been waiting to share this news for a long time now.
After I stepped away from my role as a Lead Pastor in 2020, I began a brutal unmaking of so many things I believed about myself, the church, and God. I expected to retire in my role and never gave much thought to any other future. The New Te...
Today is my twentieth wedding anniversary. We celebrated with a trip to Spain a few weeks ago, but today I'm filled with gratitude for Michelle and reflecting on what I've learned so far on our journey. When I turned forty, I shared forty life insights I've gained along the way.
In that light, I th...
The thing that hurt you might be the thing that heals you. Let me explain.
Throughout my time in ministry, I've been invited behind the scenes into numerous different marriages. Marriage is complicated, and it sadly falls apart for many people. I've also seen how, sometimes, Christianity (especiall...
I’m starting something new, and I want to tell you about it.
Every Friday, I’m going to start sending out a special newsletter to the members of our online community. I’m calling it Friday Recap, and I already suspect it will become one of my favorite ways to connect.

In this episode, we’ll dive into the theology and a...
This past weekend, I shared a lot of my story (in particular, some challenges these last four years) in a message called "Making It Through Difficult Times as a Couple." It was part of a love, dating, and marriage series at the church.
I taught from a passage where the Apostle Paul similarly sha...
I recently recorded the latest episode of my podcast, talking about some of the things I've been learning through this year's journey with Michelle's health. Ironically, I'm writing this post in the hospital as we are back in for an unexpected surgery to deal with an infection she got this weeken...
I was listening to one of Rob Bell's recent podcasts where he talked about how we have things that matter more to us than they matter to most people. He didn't reference this as a negative trait but rather as a unique gift we have to offer the world from the lens only we have.
He gave an example of...
It stands out to me when I hear the same idea explained in multiple books I'm reading, especially when they are read back to back and especially when the idea isn't the book's main point. For example, I recently finished Jefferson Bethke's book, To Hell With the Hustle (see: Amazon link), and Andy C...
