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 and reading theology and church history books. I’m also an aspiring Tolkien nerd.

I often feel as if 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. 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.
