Against their better judgment, Peter did do what Jesus asked of him, but I am sure that they had a discussion beforehand that went something like “Well, we are the fishermen here, but if we need [...]

Getting Some Press

I was interviewed by a reporter for the article Then, a photographer came over and took some photos of me working on my painting of [...]

Unraveling Faith

So, as I have been reading listening and talking to others about the state of the Church and Christianity, I am beginning to understand what “deconstructionism” can mean for it. Pete Rollins (author of “How (Not) to Speak of God“) was at a talk that I attended a few weeks ago, and while he spoke [...]
