The Writing
Essays on Scripture, theology, and how faith intersects with contemporary culture.
Jonathan Edwards
Before Jonathan Edwards became America's greatest theologian, he was a college student caught in the middle of Yale's founding political crisis. Shuttled between rival campuses as trustees fought over the school's future. Sometimes the most formative learning happens in the chaos.
New Testament
Two elite Roman-era authors. Two letters about runaway men. One upholds status. The other redefines it through love. This article compares Paul’s letter to Philemon and Pliny’s letter to Sabinianus—and what they reveal about leadership, community, and Christian witness.
The Church
In churches that welcome all, how do we disciple well? This reflection considers why membership still matters, especially when the lines feel blurry.
Puritans
What does it mean to welcome someone into the church? This reflection on Baird Tipson’s Invisible Saints explores charity, doubt, and the quiet burden of pastoral discernment.
Jonathan Edwards left behind more than he published—drafts, notes, and private reflections. How should we read this abundance? This post reflects on method, memory, and the responsibility of Christian scholarship.
Jonathan Edwards writes with a beauty that awakens wonder. His language doesn’t just explain God—it invites worship, stirs the imagination, and leaves space for mystery. This piece explores why I keep reading him.
What if writing could feel like hospitality? This reflection explores how creating a blog can be like preparing a home—quiet, intentional, and worth someone’s time.
Home isn’t just where I live — it’s where I think. Even serious reading can blur into noise. Writing slows me down. It’s how I wrestle with meaning, dwell in language, and come to know what I really believe. This article is about writing as a lived-in space of thought.
