It's that time of year - W2s and 1098s are filling folks' mailboxes. I figure if employers have until the end of January to square their records for the previous year, it isn't all bad if I am just now getting to my book reviews for 2022. Inspired by my sister Emily, who makes annual … Continue reading 2022 Books Review
Good Folks Club is an album of processing, not an album of clear understanding. Much has been shaken and sifted in my own faith journey over the past three years, and these three songs stem from that. At the same time, there is an arc to the story - from the angst of the title track to the more reflective “You Loved Me Before” to the joyful surrender of “Poor in Spirit,” the listener can trace the trajectory towards a healthier, more rooted-in-Christ place.
I’m excited to announce that I will be releasing my latest album, Good Folks Club, on October 13, 2022! This three-track EP is a culmination of a few years of processing challenging thoughts around the Church and my own faith. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s a journey in three parts that I hope others … Continue reading New Album on Its Way!

I've been looking for this folder for weeks. When I came to stay with my parents while recovering from surgery, I didn't bring much, and my room is pretty uncluttered. And yet this rather large folder has seemingly vanished. As I took another stab at looking for it again this morning, it occurred to me … Continue reading Seeking & Expectations
This post began as a YouTube comment on a video from November 2, 2018, which I saw recently when it appeared on my newsfeed (embedded below). It morphed from just a response to this particular video into a more broad look at the concept of "social justice." https://youtu.be/UpYFVVEQHQ0 The conversation around social justice is complex, … Continue reading On Social Justice, Sparked by John MacArthur
I spent the summer of 2015 in Louisville, Kentucky, sharing a one-bedroom apartment with four other guys. We were there as interns with Love Thy Neighborhood, a non-profit that is doing some incredible things in that city. One of their key principles for living in community, especially the three-bunk-beds-in-one-small-room sort of community, was this: If … Continue reading Loving Often Looks a Lot Like Listening
Thursday night I was alternately gabbing and pre-grieving as I got ready to leave my parents' place and head back to Baltimore. I had been in Lancaster county for six weeks due to a set of very peculiar circumstances, which are unsurprisingly common during a pandemic, it seems. I was thankful for this unexpected time … Continue reading I Didn’t Give You an “L”
Our country, and our world, is in an unprecedented state of shutdown. Over 16 million Americans have lost their jobs, and it would not be surprising if that number continued to rise.
