Baseball: Sabbatical Reflection #2
So, if you followed any of my social media while I was on sabbatical, you are very aware that I spent a lot of time at baseball fields.

Sharing the Good News
As people changed and shaped by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we are commissioned (a fancy word for sent) to go and share that “Good News” with our neighbors, our community and the world. But who’s to say what’s truly good?
Breakfast on the Beach
What did you eat for breakfast this morning? Bacon and eggs? Avocado toast? Cereal? Whatever it was, I bet it wasn’t fish cooked over a campfire. One of my favorite stories in scripture is that of the disciples having a breakfast of fish on the beach with the risen Christ. It’s a story full of […]
How do we reconcile our belief in the Lord of creation with some of our Christian doctrines?
I love this question because it offers so many words that are a part of the language of faith – and – it gets at one of the largest tensions people of faith face as they seek to live their lives faithfully and in the modern world. It is always important to remember that doctrines […]
