Published Work

Writing is one of the ways I process what God is doing in cities, communities, and the lives of leaders who are building, reforming, and expanding the Kingdom. These pieces have been published in external outlets; each one is an attempt to bring a gospel-centered, justice-rooted perspective to the conversations that matter most.

I write about leadership, urban ministry, culture, and what it looks like to build beloved community in the 21st century. If something here resonates, I’d love for you to share it.
