Writing & Reflections
Essays and pastoral reflections aimed at helping Christians think clearly, worship deeply, and keep their eyes fixed on Christ.
A Church and Its Staff
The church in the west should be the most excellent place to work. In a world of hustle, exhaustion, and emotional burdens, the church organization should have been a safe place for those called to labor vocationally for the sake of the gospel. Since the late 2010s, the United States has seen a drastic shift in how generations relate to their vocation. We have seen companies implement four-day work weeks, hybrid schedules, mental health days, more vacation time, and so on. I wholeheartedly believe that churches (especially our largest expressions) should have been the ones on the leading edge of many of these positive workplace changes. Instead, church staff across the country have often been the slowest to adapt to create a wholistic environment that cares for its employees more than it cares for its product.
Ongoing Reflections
Most of my ongoing writing is published through Substack, where I share shorter reflections, theological observations, and pastoral encouragement.
