Another year is in the books. As I shared recently, it was tough for our family (see: The Fierce Capacity to Endure). We didn't get to travel as much as I wanted to, but as my vision board for 2024 says, "That's the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet." Thankfully, the re...
In the most recent episode of my podcast (Cabernet and Pray), I sat down with Dr. David Gushee. Dr. Gushee is the author, co-author, or editor of twenty-eight books (one of which was a textbook for an ethics class I took for my Master's degree). In the podcast episode, we dove into his recently r...
It's the most wonderful time of the year! Fall is in the air, the best holidays are just around the corner, and we can finally go back outside in Arizona without dying.
It also means it's time for a quarterly reading check-in. Below you can see the 79 books I've read so far this year with my rating...
We are halfway through 2023. I'm writing this in one of my last days in Oregon as I prepare to enter back into the tortures of the Arizona summer.

One of the lingering benefits for me of attending seminary is the way it helps me appreciate the depth and breadth of the Christian tradition. Christians lived out their faith in numerous ways across a variety of cultures and time frames. This means they've also understood the Scriptures from a v...
One of my favorite (seemingly) bizarre subjects to discuss is artificial intelligence. It captures my imagination and I believe most of us are living in a time when it will completely change the world as we know it. I remember attending a conference more than ten years ago where I got to sit next...
I read an early copy of Peter Enns' newest book, Curveball. I had previously read his other books (The Sin of Certainty and The Bible Tells Me So) and loved both of them. Enns is a Biblical Professor and scholar (and fellow Yankee fan!) and yet comes at his faith in a way that always feels refres...
I was given an early copy of Os Guinness' new book, Signals of Transcendence, which comes out in March. I was instantly hooked. And yes, he is related to the beer that shares his name. Os is the great-great-great-grandson of Arthur Guinness, the Dublin brewer.
