Thanks for checking out my Substack! I’m a Christian, a father of four, and a teacher and servant in my local church. I have over 20 years of experience in training and development; spanning public education, Christian nonprofits, and corporate organizations. I’m passionate about reading and learning.

Subscribe to receive my reflections on theology, faith & culture, books, and spiritual formation in the digital age—along with the occasional deep dive into life’s odds and ends. In a world that feels increasingly fractured and anxious, I write as an attempt to apply biblical truth to what we see around us, offering clarity and hope. I won’t overwhelm your inbox.

Why did I call this newsletter greatly wondering?

In Acts 3, Peter and John encounter a man who has never been able to walk, begging for money at the temple gate. Peter doesn’t have money, but he offers the man something far greater. Peter heals him in the name of Jesus. Instantly, the man jumps to his feet, walking and praising God.

Everyone recognizes him; they’ve seen him carried there every day. Now, they watch in amazement as he jumps around.

The crowd rushes toward Peter and John, greatly wondering. I imagine they had the same questions we ask today: What’s this all about? What does it mean? How do I find joy and hope like that?

You’ll find some wondering and wandering thoughts here. I hope they’re helpful.
