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 or coffee, reading, and exercise.

I’m a professing Christian who often feels like I don’t fit into the dominant church culture around me. This blog is where I process some of that and try to imagine what a better, healthier future could look like. 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.
