I just found out that the Austin Public Library has already preordered 3 copies of my book!
If you have 60 seconds, I’d love for you to check if your library has a copy on order and request it if not. Library preorders are super important, especially for a first time author like me. Thank you!

Pope Francis passed away this morning at the age of 88. He was the most Jesus centered, justice focused, and inclusive reformer to lead the Catholic Church since Pope John XXIII.
Even though I’m not Catholic, I will greatly miss him and his humble yet courageous leadership.

Longtime conservative writer David Brooks wrote an opinion essay for the New York Times yesterday in which he calls for a bipartisan “national civic uprising” with enough power to stop Donald Trump.

📚 I wrote a book! 📚
This book is an attempt to take what I’ve learned from brilliant authors, activists, scholars and theologians, as well as from the incredible people I get to minister alongside every day, and synthesize it into a helpful resource for reading the Bible in better ways.
