For all my life I was never one to enjoy writing. And yet, when the Lord saved me, he gave me the desire to read. The more I read, the more I felt the itch to write my own content. Here I am, and I’ve been writing seriously since 2018. By God’s grace I’ve been […]
There is something sanctifying about fixating our eyes on Heaven and the glories to be experienced there. It’s no wonder the Apostle Paul exhorted us to do so in Colossians 3:2, where he wrote, “If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right […]
The doctrine of the imago Dei—the image of God—is foundational to the Christian faith. We believe all people—man, woman, the unborn—have inherent value, worth, and dignity because they’re created by God (Genesis 1:27). Humanity is sacred because of the imago Dei. We have more value and worth than the cockroach because it wasn’t created after […]
“The growth of trees and plants takes place so slowly that it is not easily seen. Daily we notice little change. But, in course of time, we see that a great change has taken place. So it is with grace.” (John Owen) I am not where I thought I would be as a Christian today. […]

I love to write. From blog posts to books—and everything in between—writing has quickly become a passion of mine. I have only been writing seriously for a couple of years, so I know I have a long way to go, but I love the process of becoming better. Specifically as a writer of Christian content, […]
“For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake” (1 Thessalonians 1:4-5 ESV). I […]
Since I just surpassed the 13,000-words mark for my next book, I thought I’d go ahead and let you all know what the topic is over. (I was going to wait until I heard back from any publishers, but that will be awhile and I know this is what I’m writing about regardless.) The working […]
