I do not/have not posted often and this is not really a new beginning. Instead, this is a post to share that my doctoral thesis, Faith by Design, is now available on the internet. You can read it/download it from the Duke University Libraries website. If you want to contact me about it, my email … More Faith by Design, a Doctoral Thesis
Though the protests and demonstrations sparked by George Floyd’s death have taken the lead on the news, we are still living in the middle of a pandemic. I will share some resources I have found helpful that are related to race, police, and protesting in the days to come, but this is one of the … More A COVID Related Podcast worth your time
I listen to podcasts everyday and this is one I particularly loved. It is a conversation with Steve Kerr, Pete Carroll, and Michael Lewis. For anyone who is a leader or even works with leaders, this is an interesting hour about coaching, leadership, and being a part of a team. Put it on while you … More A Podcast for your weekend
I want to write a little more given the cancelation of everything, self-distancing, and changing life due to COVID-19. I will save the real, actual, long writing for my thesis work, which I need to restart. These are just little thoughts and reflections may be interesting or add perspective. They shouldn’t take long. So, I … More 86 days
Dave Chang Show with Mickey Drexler on The Ringer Podcast Network For those with interests in #DesignThinking and who have a little knowledge, this podcast might be a fun listen.

As we grow seven roots and Christian practices, what we hope to find is our faith coming alive, balanced and whole, and producing the good Fruit of the Spirit. This is … More Sermon: It Starts with Stewardship
During the Tour de France (from which I am experiencing withdrawal symptoms… ‘There is nothing on TV but talk of deflated footballs’) I saw this video from the advocacy group, People for Bikes. I love it and it definitely describes how I feel about a good swim, run, and especially bike ride. So, whatever athletic … More A little more about bikes to make you smile
I do not like to toot my own horn. Maybe it is because I am shy. Maybe I am modest. Maybe I am slightly insecure and like the McFlys early in Back to the Future, “I don’t know if I can take that kind of rejection.” Or, maybe, somethings are ok left unsaid. To that … More Tooting a Horn
Recently I got a new bike. I wasn’t in the market for a new one. I didn’t even spend much money to upgrade after selling my old one, but, in a very real, cosmic, way (thought I don’t totally believe in such things, I just happily use such phrases tongue-in-cheek), this bike found me. For … More For the love of the bike
On Sunday I offered a sermon to our Graduates at Oxford Baptist Church. I hope the rest of the congregation was also listening because we all will benefit from listening for God’s Cowbell above the noise of life. If you want to discern whether I was successful in navigating the call of God through the … More As You Go, or the one that talked about God’s Cowbell
