To any who may be interested in our MA program in the future, reach out! We are thriving and growing and dedicated to the formation and mentoring of students in faith and academic excellence.

I love, loved time with these exceptional students who came from all over the US and some from Asia and Africa. This week, we laughed, we prayed, we probed the past taking us through all the branches of the church across space and time. New insight, questions, and interests were formed.

Wrapped up a marvelous week of teaching the intensive/hybrid course, Global Church History - a class I’ve been developing for Wheaton College Divinity School online and in person the last 2 years.

Really proud of this piece I wrote for Mockingbird Magazine!

It’s being featured today as the church remembers Mary Magdalene.

Wow! Amazing, Jon. I hope to visit Tokyo someday. What a gift that must have been.

What a special place!

We are back at HoneyRock, Wheaton College’s camp in the Northwoods of WI, where I’m serving as Camp Pastor for a couple weeks preaching and leading devotionals for staff.

Camp was a pivotal part of my faith journey as a kid so it’s such a privilege to serve in this way.

"What I found most refreshing about her book is her genuine love of our amazing Jesus, and how she was able to demonstrate that Mary Magdalene’s relationship with Jesus helps all believers, men and women, better know our Lord."

"In 'forgetting' Mary for who she was, we have also 'undervalued' her as 'the first witness to the resurrection, and overlooked, particularly in the Western church, as the 'apostle to the apostles,’'."

This Holy Week I've been reflecting on two of the women who witnessed the death of Christ in a profoundly personal way. I hope my reflections deepen your gratitude for the cross this weekend. With thanks to @jpowellmcnutt.bsky.social

Two Marys at the Cross: The Body Keeps the Score

At the crucifixion of Christ, two women experienced the battle of good and evil within their own bodies as lightning flashed above the cross.

Today, I walked down the street where Zürich reformer Zwingli once lived to the Theology Faculty at the University of Zürich. At the invitation of the Reformation Institute, I taught a class on the Reformation and the Bible. Students were a delight, and I left just glowing #ILoveBibles Thankful!
