What’s your deal?

I am captivated by big, beautiful ideas. Particularly Love. I am interested in how a God of essential kenosis (the God who is love, who can’t help but love) is/acts in relationship with people and the plethora of wonderful that inhabit the planet and beyond. I wonder out loud how this Love reshapes our inherited faith stories as genuinely good news for a post-Christian quantum world.

Subscribing means that you can join me as I engage stories, experiences, and beautiful ideas towards becoming love.

In the words of the psalmist, Pete Townshend “Who are you?”

I have been described as a thoughtful mystic, an accidental activist, and someone who is intuitively empathetic.

I’m a husband to Andrea for 35+ years, Dad to three sons (31, 27 and 17), and Kite Flyer. I have a Master’s in Spiritual Formation, and I am finishing a second - MA in Theology and Culture where I explore the cosmic vision (love) of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Thomas Jay Oord’s Essential Kenosis (Love)toward new faith stories intimately rooted in a thoughtful and robust theology of Love.

Vocationally, as a Spiritual director/companion, I walk alongside folks who are seeking ways to remain Christian while untangling from ill-fitting ideas about God, church and the world. Those who are cultivating a deeper experience of life.

I am a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist through the Grief Recovery Institute and I walk alongside and provide support for folks as they journey through a variety of different kinds of loss.

Kite Monger - I have an e-commerce retail kite shop where we sell a variety of winder-ful kites from simple single-line kites to multi-line sport kites and larger show kites. I really enjoy flying kites.

Why become a Paid Subscriber?

Great question! Because I don’t offer special membership levels, perks or special paid access to myself. I know, I’m probably doing it all wrong. :-) Maybe, the best reason to become a paid subscriber is that you appreciate, are encouraged or inspired by what I share.

Perhaps you too are convinced that Love will save the world, that we need better stories, and that Love makes a big difference in what it means to be fully human, fully alive.

A paid subscription helps me share my work, and maybe this is something you feel is worth supporting.
