Careful thinking for people who take faith seriously.

Long-form writing on theology, culture, and the Christian life — for anyone who believes deep faith and honest questions belong together. Whether you’re preparing a sermon, wrestling with what you believe, or simply looking for writing that doesn’t rush past the hard parts, you’re welcome here.

About

You’ll find me writing at the intersection of theology and everyday life — exploring Scripture carefully, thinking about how faith is formed slowly, and asking what it looks like to follow Jesus without pretending the hard parts are easy.

By day, I work in operations at Youth Ministry Futures, a mission agency investing in long-term, full-time youth ministers across Australia. The rest of the time, I’m reading widely, writing honestly, and trying to be a decent husband to Jane and father to our two daughters.

If you’re the kind of person who wants to think carefully about things that matter — not quick takes, not hot opinions, just honest writing — there’s a good chance something here is for you.

Longer essays worth the time — on Scripture, culture, and what it means to take faith seriously.

Start Here

This is a space where I write to learn — essays, reflections, and notes shaped by reading, conversation, and experience. Not everything is finished, but all of it is honest.
