I explore the links between Christian faith and personal and public life, shaped by Scripture’s authority, historic Christian orthodoxy, and discipleship in the Way of Jesus. I affirm the Nicene, Apostles’, and Chalcedonian creeds as faithful expressions of that orthodoxy, and I hold the Old and New Testaments as the inspired and trustworthy Word of God, carrying supreme authority for faith and conduct. My work is grounded in the life of the Triune God and centered on Jesus Christ, crucified and risen, whose gospel comes to us as a gift of grace and brings both personal transformation and the common good.

He Emptied Himself – Philippians 2:5–11

The Temptation in the Wilderness – Matthew 4:1–11
The Jesus Way · Movement 3 · From Power to Servanthood The Reasonable Voice Most temptation, in my experience, doesn’t come dressed as evil. It comes dressed as a reasonable solution to a real problem. It comes wearing the language of stewardship, responsibility, and...
