About Me & My Obsession with the Intersection of Story and Christianity

Yes, I’m an odd duck…

My wife and hilariously awkward kids

About Me

• I’m a father
• I’m a painter
• I love nature
• I’m a Christian
• I’m a teacher at a Christian school
• I’m the Founder of Beth Derech School of Discipleship. We try to incarnate the discipleship formation model described in the Bible. Christian thought and learning are my passions.

What I Like to Explore through Writing

I write as an outlet to exercise the ideas that have haunted my mind for about a year. I will discuss and contemplate story, imagination, formation, Christian education, icons, symbols, pictures, and poetry. Journey with me as we delve into the deep cavernous thoughts of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, George MacDonald, Malcolm Guite, James K.A. Smith, N.T. Wright, Charles Taylor, and The Holy Scriptures. If you are interested in or hate this content, join the conversation, as I will blog about these subjects and authors every Sunday morning.
