The two towns I serve have the top two donut shops according to this blogger and I am here for it!

A fun fish-out-of-water coming of age story. It felt like Red Rising meets Top Gun. I am looking forward to book two!

John 2:13–25
Here’s the thing everyone notices the first time they read this story carefully: it’s in the wrong place. In Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Jesus clears the temple courts near the end of his ministry — it’s the flashpoint that gets him killed. In John, it’s right here at the beginning, chapter two, before almost anything else has happened.
So which is it? Did it happen once, twice? Did somebody get the timeline wrong?

Thursdays are such good days. Thursday mornings a friend of mine always shows up to play nine holes early in the morning. Then, I hang out with friends in Howell, MI for coffees, lunch, and deep connection. On top of that, I drive Amy to work and get extra time with her.
We just finished Revelation. Spoiler: it doesn’t end with us going up — it ends with God coming down to live with us forever.

Revelation 15 - Home at Last

We’ve come to the end. Revelation has been a long, good study, and it closes with these three chapters: 20, 21, and 22. If you’ve walked with me through the whole book, this is where it all lands. If you’re just joining us, here’s the short version: everything we’re about to read is symbol and metaphor pointing to real, solid truth. Keep that in mind and you’ll be fine.
It might be 97° outside but my patio is in the shade, there’s a gentle breeze, I have a nice pipe, and Dan Dickerson is on the radio.
It doesn’t get much better.
I finished teaching Revelation today. The final recording covering Rev 20-22 will be up soon.
I am grateful to have these recordings.
It’s the second time I have taught it over the last year.

The Presence in Our Midst
To listen to the full unabridged audio listen here: The Presence in Our Midst
We often think of God in grand, eternal, and epic terms. But in the Gospel of John, there is a fascinating shift. We move from the cosmic prologue—where the Word was with God in the beginning —straight down to a dusty riverside in Palestine. God moved into the neighborhood.
As we dive into what commentators call the “Book of Signs” (John 1:19–2:12) , we discover three profound realities about living in the presence of Christ.
We got our patio furniture out this weekend. I’ve missed being able to sit out there and enjoy some quiet time to read.
Our patio is fully shaded by 2 pm, so even on the hottest of days it can be quite comfortable.

I just started this the other day and so far it’s really fun. It feels very Red Rising but with a female protagonist.
