A quick change to note…
Two friends and I are starting a new blog together.
“Which two friends?”, and “What’s it called?” you may ask.
I’ll tell you that they’re two of my best friends who also, coincidentally (or sovereignly!) want to be pastors. We’ll be writing articles based on things that we learn and teach, as well as recommending articles/books/content we think are helpful in the realms of theology and the Christian life.
It’s called The Modern Post. You can subscribe via RSS or join us on Twitter if you like.
Come see how three friends - each involved in unique ministries - with one calling come together.
I will continue to post personal updates, stories, adventures here so don’t go too far.

Hello there!
It has been awhile so I thought it might be a good time to do a quick update about what we’re up to here in Seattle.
Kim has a ton to report so I’ll start with her. She has been working on her photography and is being mentored by a Pulitzer-prize finalist photographer from our church which is incredible and generous - now, if only the rain and general grey-ness would let up a bit. Kim is also helping out a woman from our church who has three kids and who was recently diagnosed with MS. She’ll go over to their house once a week to help with groceries, cleaning, nannying, or really just about anything that the mother needs.
Kim has also been tutoring a high schooler in math every Sunday and is starting to teach Sunday school this Sunday. Oh, and she is working on starting a women’s theology Bible study with some of the girls in our small group which would be really cool.
She’s putting her creativity, huge caring and nurturing heart, humor, and wisdom to work all over the place. It’s awesome to watch.
I’ve been keeping busy with work. I’m really excited to be working in a church like this one. Everyone is not only creative and great at what they do, but everyone has a heart for discipleship and to see people meet Jesus. Almost all of our decisions come back to a question of, “Is this theologically sound” or “Will this help make disciples of Christ”. It’s a wholly unique experience for me to be blending marketing and theology but so far I’m really enjoying it. The guys I work with are awesome and I’m learning a ton.
We’ve been doing a lot for the current sermon series, Luke, but I also get to work in other facets like marketing books - I recently booked our pastor on Loveline (I believe he’s the first pastor to be on that show) and a feature in Relevant magazine - as well as do interviews and help where I can with the Resurgence.
Kim and I have been exploring the city, often while lost, and really enjoy how each of the neighborhoods have such a unique feel to them. We go out for date nights every Friday and try to go to different neighborhoods to get a feel for them.
Our friends from Mongolia, Jonathan and Marielle, came to stay with us at the end of September and our friends Ralph and Megan, came at the end of October. We had a blast with all of them. We’ve really missed people from those two places so it was great to catch up with what’s going on in each other’s lives.
It’s been four months since we got back home. We had forgotten about the pace of life in America and still struggle a bit with adjusting to the blur of it. We always feel like we don’t read as much as we used to or as much as we’d like. We’re doing our best to reclaim that ground though.
We’re thankful, happy, and excited to see where this new chapter continues to lead.
Thanks for reading.
