My life story includes job descriptions such as: recklessly abandoned follower of the Risen Christ, husband of Paige, father of Jake, professional coffee drinker, theological dreamer, wanna-be motocross star, expert napper, Mac user, and many more apt descriptions. I grew up in Texas, graduated from Texas A&M University, served in the Army as an infantry officer, and then went to seminary at Dallas Theological Seminary. I serve as the Senior Pastor at Northshore Baptist Church in Kirkland, WA.

I like exploring and writing about different subjects: reflections upon recent sermons, theology, spiritual life, leadership, culture, and technology. On my blog you’ll also find some in-depth topics and curriculum:

1. The Story of God: a 20-part series on the larger story of God and the Bible
2. Leadership Development: a curriculum for individuals, small groups, and teams to develop leaders spiritually, personally, and positionally
3. YouAskedForIt: an 8-week series I preached based around the most popular and controversial topics people ask about the Christian faith
