Writing
Substack
My Substack is where I write most regularly, weaving together theology, culture, technology, and the practice of making. Here you’ll find essays on everything from AI and the Church, to the spirituality of craft at the pottery wheel, to reflections on liturgy, parish life, and theological education.
I use Substack as a space to think out loud — drawing connections between scripture, patristic voices, contemporary culture, and everyday practices of work and play. It’s also where I share updates on ongoing projects, from forthcoming books to experiments in creative theology.

Lived Theology of Everyday Life: Encountering God in Work, Play, and Culture (Cascade Press, 2025), is a reflection on how Christian theology is not confined to church or academy but is discovered in the ordinary rhythms of daily life—popular culture, making, work, play, and even institutional leadership—revealing God’s presence in unexpected and transformative ways
In process:
Technology and Theology (in process) - This book rethinks technology theologically—from technē and poiesis to cybernetics and AI—showing how tools shape seeing and being, then advancing an incarnational, practice-based vision of making that equips Christian communities to engage the technological world critically, creatively, and with hope.
Theology for the Love of God (in process) - What if theology wasn’t a dusty shelf of doctrines but a living conversation about God that takes shape in how we think, trust, ask, and act? That’s the wager of my new book-in-progress, Theology for the Love of God. Drawing on years of teaching and life in the church, I want to invite readers into the heart of Christian belief—not as a system to master, but as a practice of faith and imagination. The book moves through the creed, but not in a straight line: instead, it lingers with stories, engages Scripture, listens to the tradition, and wrestles with contemporary questions. My hope is to show that theology belongs not only in the classroom but also in prayer, in art, at the dinner table, and in the difficult choices of daily life.
Essays, Sermons, Articles, and Occasional Writings
Alongside books and formal scholarship, I write across a range of formats — from peer-reviewed articles and essays in edited volumes, to popular pieces for Religion News Service and other outlets, to sermons preached in parish and seminary contexts. This is the space where my academic work, pastoral voice, and public theology meet. You’ll find links here to published sermons, theological reflections, and occasional writings that seek to make theology accessible, creative, and responsive to the world we share..
