My favorite things to write about are the Bible, God's love for those we often overlook, and how we can rest in God’s character and faithfulness.

Living Upside Down Substack
A free newsletter straight to your inbox twice a month with reflections on the ways that we are called as followers of Jesus to live upside down from the norms of empire, consumerism, and self-promotion. If you’re passionate about pursuing a life of justice and living an abundant life embodying the love of Christ, this newsletter is for you!
Jesus and the Vulnerable Advent Study
This free download includes 6 weeks of reflections to include the 4 weeks of Advent as well as the preceding and following weeks. Each week includes a reading from one of the gospels as we relive the events around Jesus’ birth, followed by a reflection on passages from the Hebrew Bible, which would be the Scripture that Jesus grew up reading and memorizing. As we read these passages, we’ll reflect on how Jesus brings hope, peace, joy and love to vulnerable people groups and to all of us.
