I'm an experienced parish priest, dedicated to communicating God’s grace to the whole world.

One of my biggest passions is putting the work of theology into the hands of all God’s people.

I'm always looking for new approaches to innovative leadership, digital ministry, and excellence in worship.

About Me

Graphic Design

I have made beautiful designs for church websites and publications,

developing skills that translate into other fields. Let me show you some of my work.

Reflections

There's no better way to get a sense of my writing style than to read some of my shorter work. From mental health to the future of church, from passing fads to social issues,
from sermons to newspaper columns, these reflections cover a wide range of themes.

Reflections

A stylized illustration depicts the biblical story of Dagon falling before the Ark of the Covenant. In the foreground, a broken, humanoid figure with fish-like features lies face down on a tiled surface. This figure is in pieces. To the left, a decorative, yellow chest, likely representing the Ark of the Covenant, stands upright. In the blurred background, several figures in ancient-style clothing appear to be observing the scene. The overall color palette is muted, with earth tones and blues dominating. The lighting suggests a dramatic or significant event is taking place.

Dagon and the Raiders of the Lost Ark

If Israel’s army was victorious, this was further proof that their God could beat up the gods of their enemies. If Israel was defeated, this raised uncomfortable questions like ‘Why can’t our God beat up these other gods and defend us?’

The Job for You To Do: A Good Friday Sermon

No small boy ever says 'when I grow up, I want to be the man with the nails at crucifixions.' And yet, here you are. It's funny how life turns out.

Between the Lessons: Faith and Superstition

God cares for us and protects us, but he’s not in the business of granting wishes, like some kind of holy concierge.
