Welcome!

Of all of Jesus’ commands, one of the clearest and most common is “follow me.” Seems so simple, doesn’t it?

After almost 40 years of discipleship, one might hope and expect to be a bit further along the path of faith. But this is where I am, unable and uninterested in going back to undo or alter the broken and beautiful past and mindful that the future is always elusive and uncertain. What remains is today–this moment in time–and the glorious opportunity that comes with it to know, love, and follow Christ.

I have spent most of my adult life trying to discern what faithfulness looks like. Now that I am far closer to the end of it, the quest to genuinely walk in the Way seems more challenging, urgent, and fun than ever. Rather than muddling my way forward, I sense a stirring to be focused and resolute on learning and re-learning what it can mean and must mean to “do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with my God.”

Thanks for joining me on this journey! I offer the posts, links to lectures and published pieces, and other ponderings as an attempt at practical theology. That is, I want to explode the barrier between theory and practice, contemplation and action, orthodoxy and orthopraxy, to find that place where heart, mind, soul, hands, and feet find harmony in a lived experience of knowing and following the Living Christ. I welcome your responses and thoughts along the way. Maybe together, we can all stumble less and find our stride wherever we are on the journey. Peace to you!
