About Me

Thanks for dropping by. My name is Mark and I live in my hometown of Memphis, TN. My wife and I are raising two kids and two cats. I work in the creative space by day and enjoy a good conversation over a local brew, reading, and exercise.

I’m one of the many devout Christians who was pushed out of American evangelicalism for trying to follow Jesus. I’m still processing some of that, but I’ve mostly turned my attention to the future.

This is where I write and host conversations about the Christian faith, formation, and church culture in the American South. I’m an institutionalist and believe the means are just as important as the ends. Quick answers that give the illusion of certainty aren’t helpful. Everything here is an expression of my faith and love for the Church as I try to figure this Jesus thing out. I hope it helps you, too.

The best way to keep up with me is to subscribe to my free newsletter. I’ll only send you one email a month.

You can also find me on Threads and Instagram, or subscribe to the RSS feed.
