Encountering God in His Word
A seven-part series about moving beyond simply reading Scripture for information and learning to meet God there—with attention, trust, obedience, and room for Him to speak.
These essays grow directly from the book project and from a lifetime of learning that Scripture is not merely something to master. It is a place where God forms us.

Why I write
I have spent much of my life in ministry, nonprofit leadership, humanitarian work, and places where faith has to become more than an idea. This is where I write about what I have learned, what I am still learning, and where I have seen God at work.
