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.

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.

Talk about thoughtful! I wasn’t able to attend the awards ceremony in Nashville, where my book was a finalist for ECPA Book of the year. In its place, I received this celebratory letter highlighting the recognition of *The Mary We Forgot* Brazos Press. #honored #encouraged Next book in the works!

Coming soon!

I’m thrilled to have a piece in the Law & Gospel issue of The Mockingbird Magazine.

My essay is entitled, “She who Hangs out in Cemeteries” #themaryweforgot

What is the particular significance of Mary Magdalene at the tomb? I can’t wait to share it with you.

Next up? I’m heading to the University of Notre Dame to give a lecture at the Marten Program in Homiletics & Liturgics conference.

I’ll be speaking on *The Mary We Forgot* and helpful ways to preach about Mary Magdalene from the pulpit 📣

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!

I’m very honored that *The Mary We Forgot* is an ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist for 2025! Amazing #grateful

Just had the final edits accepted for my first article in Mockingbird Magazine, and I’m grateful. Can’t wait to share my piece on Mary Magdalene’s Witness.

If you don’t know the magazine it’s exquisitely done: artistic, richly theological, culturally attuned, etc. Highly recommend! mbird.com

I’ll be lecturing on the history of the Bible, meeting with doctoral students, and giving a plenary address at the conference on Pauline Exegesis. All the while Zürich is marking the 500th anniversary of the Reformation so I can’t think of a better place to be!

I’m thrilled and honored to have been invited as Guest Lecturer by a collaboration of the University of Geneva’s Institute of Reformation History (where I spent numerous months as a doctoral student) with the Universität Zürich’s Faculty of Theology and Institute for Swiss Reformation Studies.

I had the joy of connecting this week with doctoral students at Talbot School of Theology who had read my book, The Mary We Forgot: What the Apostle to the Apostles Teaches the Church Today, Brazos. Thanks to Dr. Octavio Esqueda for the invitation!

Next week I’m heading to Boston to speak at Gordon College on the “Bible and the Reformation of Time” for their new museum exhibit.

If you’re in the Boston area, join us for what will surely be a fantastic exhibit and discussion about history and faith on what Greenwich has to do with Jerusalem!
