One of the people I follow online is Dr. James DiNicolantonio. His name may be a lot to pronounce, but I really appreciate how he talks about holistically having a healthier lifestyle. He's worth the follow.Â
He posts lots of different ways to improve your life, and recently he posted the following...
We’ve wrapped up our podcast The Forest and the Trees going through each chapter of the book of Romans. The podcast is a chance for me and a friend who no longer believes in Christianity to read and discuss the nuances of Christianity and each week's text. We previously went through the book of Hebr...
If you thought I was done talking about the movie Pig, you were wrong (see: Pig or the Counterpoint to John Wick). In fact, when I was assigned James chapter three for my sermon last weekend and read about the role of peacemakers, I decided it was time to share this gem with the world. Which also...
In this video, I share a few verses that profoundly shaped my reading of the Bible. In addition, IÂ tell a story that happened this week at our Communion Wine Co. event where I navigated a weird passage in this way.
Rather than feeling the need to "throw out" those bizarre passages, try "pausing"...
This past weekend I taught a message titled "The Season is Ours" on Galatians 6. This is a beautiful passage where the Apostle Paul invites Christians to take stock of what is growing in their life and invites them to invest themselves for the benefit of others.

A couple of weeks ago I got this text from a friend:Â
"How do you break down Romans 9?"
He was asking because this chapter is notoriously known as the 'Calvinist' chapter of the Bible in which God seems to predestine a whole lot of things and a whole lot of people. After an initial read, yo...
I taught a message this past weekend called "The Simplicity of Christianity." I was asked to begin a series on the book of Galatians. In that book, the Apostle Paul is trying to win back Christians who had been told they had to do things like circumcision in order to carry out their faith.
Basic...
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...
I had the privilege of speaking at Pantano Christian Church in Tucson this past weekend. My friend Trevor became the pastor there a little over a year ago and it was so cool to see what God is doing in this community.Â
I shared a message I titled "Blurry Eyes," and told the story from Mark 8:22-...
