To live in constant prayer, to lead a contemplative life, is nothing else than to live in the actual presence of God.
…
To exist at all, to be a human being, to be this particular human being, is only possible because of this Presence.
- Abhishiktananda, _Prayer_.

Truly such an incredible two days back in Green Bay — first, to meet @andyhermannfl.bsky.social and hear him talk football for 2 hours, and second, to see this city come alive in mid April for this once-in-a-lifetime event. #GoPackGo

Holy Week: A tenuous, tenacious discipline of memory and hope.
To follow Christ’s command—“Do this in remembrance of me”—is to take up this discipline in thought, word, and deed.

Incredibly honored and excited to share that I’ll be heading to the University of Chicago this Fall to begin my PhD at the Divinity School!
I’m thankful for the many folks who’ve supported me over the past decade of learning and who made this opportunity possible.

God does not brush by the ordinary aspects of our life. God treats the ordinary—the bread and wine, the birds and the lilies, the mustard seed and river water—as sacred.

Maybe the wolf in sheep's clothing was never the drag queen or queer pastor but the Christian who claims to follow Christ but rejects his teachings as "liberal talking points."

When I think of John the Baptist, I picture his head on a platter.
John teaches us something important about peace: it does not spontaneously occur.

It was an absolute joy to contribute this chapter to a new essay collection, “Theology, Religion, and the Office: Beauty in Ordinary Things.”
This essay argues that, like ‘The Office,' when we bring our faith to work, workplaces thrive.
