The world needs a generation of leaders who think Biblically, live passionately, walk by faith, and embrace an eternal perspective. I want to inspire, equip, and enable that generation to engage, evangelize, and impact the world and culture with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the demonstrated love of God.

The Minor Prophets: An Overview of the Overlooked Books of the Bible
There are portions of our Bibles that are "flyover country". . . you know, the "country" you ignore as you "fly" from one "coast" to the other "coast," country that you know has some value to it, but perhaps just not enough for you to stop in and take a look around....
Faith: What It Is and What It’s Not
Faith is an essential element of the Christian experience. According to Hebrews 11:6, without faith it is impossible to please God. Indeed, salvation comes to us by grace through faith, as made explicit in Ephesians 2:8-9. As important as faith is to the Christian...
Lessons from the End: What We Can Learn From Hebrews 13:7-25
We can learn much from the last words of any book of the Bible. We often, however, skip over these lessons from the end of book of the Bible and miss out on the concluding thoughts of the writers of God's word. Hebrews 13:7-25 contains many lessons from the end of the...
Terms of Service, Suppression of Information and the Dangerous Concentration of Power
In the wake of social media platforms and information service conglomerates suspending, banning and prohibiting certain people from communicating via their platforms--including a sitting President of the United States--there is growing alarm at the power being wielded...
A Modern Day Book Burning
Throughout the history of the written word there have been many instances of book burnings: the "out" ideas that found their way into print were eliminated by either those in authority or a mob, usually on a bonfire, and always with the purpose of suppressing the free...
Faith: The Adventure of a Lifetime
I am fascinated with understanding what, exactly, the Christian life is supposed to look like. What should the daily existence of a follower of Christ entail? What does it mean that we are to live by faith and what are the implications of doing so? Is the average...
I am glad you’ve decided to visit my website. I hope you will find the resources provided here to be helpful on your journey of faith. I believe strongly in Biblical discipleship that produces fully-formed followers of Christ who are willing to make a difference in the culture and speak clearly in the public square on the issues of greatest importance. I see a need for worldview, apologetics, and leadership training in the local church, and I recognize that our culture desperately needs healthy churches that thrive because of their commitment to Jesus and His Kingdom agenda. Christians are called to engage the culture with the Gospel and to clearly understand the times in which we live. A secular revolution has swept through our culture and has invaded the church, while at the same time a void of Christian leadership has formed. It is into that void I hope to step and to provide Biblically-centered teaching and principled, God-honoring leadership. My hope is you will be encouraged and equipped by the articles, videos, podcasts, and other resources on this website, and by the events I host, and the books I write. Every day we have an opportunity to store up for ourselves treasures in Heaven and to make the name of Jesus great. I hope you’ll join me as I follow Him and that, together, we will change the world!
