Welcome to the Journal
Sometimes faith is loud. Sometimes it’s a whisper in the dark. This space was created for both.
Here, I share what I’m learning in the Word, in my walk with Jesus, and in the everyday intersections of faith, culture, leadership, and calling. Some entries are deep dives into Scripture. Others are heart spills from the frontlines of ministry, and others are just realizations from the messy middle. I don’t have all the answers—but I do have questions, stories, and a deep desire to follow Jesus well.
My prayer is that these words help you know God more deeply, wrestle through the hard questions honestly, and find hope that anchors you in truth.
Losing Vision
There are parts of Samson’s story that are so familiar I can read right over them. I know Delilah cuts his hair. I know he loses his strength. I know the Philistines capture him. I know how the story ends. But this time through Judges 16, I got stuck on his eyes....
Trusting Delilah
There are moments when I read the Bible and have deep theological questions. Then there are moments when I read the Bible and simply want to ask, “Samson, what are you doing?” Judges 16 is one of those moments. Most of us know the story. Samson meets Delilah. She...
Gradual Sin
Samson is a story almost everyone knows. Strong guy. Long hair. Delilah. Haircut. Loses his strength. We learned it in Sunday school, probably colored a picture of him pushing down the pillars, and then moved on. But if you have not read Samson’s story since...
The Enemy Isn’t Impressed By Your Bible Knowledge
I've been spending time in Judges lately, and one detail about Jephthah stopped me in my tracks. Jephthah wasn't the man anyone would have expected God to use. He was the son of a prostitute. His own brothers rejected him and drove him away because of the...
Sheep Thrills
It's Been a While on the Podcast Front! I know. For the last year or so, I've been quieter than usual. Some of that was intentional. Some of it wasn't. Life has a way of inviting us into seasons we never would have chosen, and somewhere along the way I realized God...
It’s the Part for me
I've finally found myself on the other side of the Torah. For the last five months, I've been slowly making my way through Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Not rushing through them. Not simply checking off chapters on a reading plan. I've been...
Salt, Light, and Abomination Lists
Still in Deuteronomy. At this point, I feel like Moses and I are splitting a charcuterie board somewhere in the wilderness while he passionately explains covenant theology for the seventeenth consecutive day. And honestly? I’m okay with it. Because every time I read...
The Lord is our Inheritance
Hi, it’s me again. Yes, I’m still in Deuteronomy. I know. I KNOW. At this point, Moses and I are basically in a small group together, but honestly, I’m not ashamed. Every time I open this book, I find another layer of God’s heart hidden inside laws, wilderness...
Things To Remember
I have a tattoo on the back of my arm that says REMEMBER. It’s intentional—not just the word, but the placement. It’s a covenant reminder, a Kingdom principle, a call to remember all God has done. But it’s also on the back of my arm where I can’t see it. I put it...
