Welcome!
Thanks for coming by my online home! This is a meeting place for those who love the triune God of Scripture and love reading words that promote biblical truth. It’s also a place where people can come to be encouraged, inspired, and informed.
Writing is my passion and calling, and this website is a place where I’d like to share that with you. I publish content regularly, but if you don’t want to miss anything, sign up for my newsletter on Substack. And feel free to check out my Amazon author page.

My Bio
I want my readers to know who I am. So, here’s a bit of my background. In short, I’m a husband, father, writer, teacher, and student (always). My wife, Christina, is an amazing blogger herself (check out her website HERE). We’re both creative types, seeking to encourage others with the truth and beauty in God’s word and world. We have three children (Isaac, Nora, and Heidi), who constantly remind me that fatherhood will teach me more about God than any theologian ever could.
I have a BA in Professional Writing from Elizabethtown College (2007), an MAR in Theological Studies from Westminster Theological Seminary (2010), and a ThM in Systematic Theology (2016) from the same institution. In 2019, I completed my MA TESOL degree from Biola University. (Yes, yes — maybe I’ve been a student for too long.)
I’ve been working at Westminster Theological Seminary for many years, and currently serve as Senior Writer & Communication Specialist.
I LOVE books, anything having to do with the Trinity and the nature of language. Or contemporary poetry. Or literature. Or art. Okay, fine — I’ll read pretty much anything. My favorite activity is . . . you guessed it: writing! Writing enables me to discover, explore, and express. I can’t get enough of it.
That’s just a bit about who I am. Like many Christians, I’m constantly seeking to grow into the image of Christ (Rom. 8:29) in all the facets of my life. This website will, in the end, be something of a chronicle of my journey, a testament to the grace and beauty and compassion of God in my life. I hope that testament does something to grow your own faith.
Statement of Faith
I believe in the historic, apostolic, biblical Christian faith of the Reformed tradition as expressed in the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms. I believe that this faith is showcased most evidently in the writings of John Calvin and those of the Dutch Reformed tradition (Herman Bavinck, Abraham Kuyper, Geerhardus Vos, and Cornelius Van Til). I have a high view of Scripture as God’s inspired, infallible, and inerrant word. I hold steadfast to the conviction that this word is our fully authoritative, all-sufficient rule for faith and practice. To learn more on what I believe, I encourage readers to check out my books.
