Why I Started
Writing
When I was a Pastor, something just didn’t feel right at my church. I was doing all the right things and saying all the right stuff, and yet I still felt this overwhelming sense that something was off. I couldn’t put my finger on it for the longest time. Eventually the truth hit me: the people in my church were not growing. I don’t mean growing in number. I mean growing in CHARACTER. Many who had inhabited those pews for decades looked no more like the Jesus they were worshiping than they did on the day they first walked through the church doors. Eventually, with the help of some mentors, authors, and friends, I started to notice all the reasons why this was the case. Ultimately, the only way I found I could outlet these reasons was through writing.
If you’re not a Christian, a church-goer, or a follower of Jesus, then I’m still overjoyed that you stumbled onto my page. If you’re un-churched, de-churched, or one of the many “nones,” I hope you still find value in my words.
Nonetheless, the folks I hope to reach through my writings are very specific: Those within the church walls (whether pew-sitter, staff, or clergy) who have felt like me. Those who have sensed that something was just a little “off” with the culture of their worship community. Those who are drawn to Jesus but don’t like His church right now. Those who sense that a shift is necessary within the walls of the sanctuary and those who long for that change.
If any of that sounds like you, I invite you to walk this road with me and Jesus.
