Pursuing Questions. Exploring Paradox.
NOTE: I am taking a “summer break” from my weekly newsletter and weekly blog articles. They will return in the fall. Have a restful and renewing summer.
My Coaching Ministry in Africa is Growing
These past months have been unusually fruitful as the Lord opened new doors in ways I never expected. Since June, my "retirement project" ministry in Africa has grown to be almost full-time! I returned from my January/February trip to Ethiopia, Zambia and Cairo,...
Will God Always Give You Your Heart’s Desire?
Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in...
Stars, Science and Modern-Day Magi
There are at least 100 billion—maybe as many as 400 billion---stars in our own galaxy called the Milky Way, which is our local zip code in the universe. But there are also billions of other galaxies—billions of other zip codes just as large as ours. That means there...

My Content (What I Write About)
My goal is helping you pursue powerful questions that will lead you into new discoveries—about yourself, the world around you and, especially, God.

“I wouldn’t give a fig for the simplicity on this side of complexity…..but I would give my life for the simplicity on the other side of complexity.”

- I write for thinkers who believe reality is never captured in a Twitter message, and who need practical ways to keep believing in a “post truth” society.
- I write for explorers who believe the X Files’ promise: “The truth IS out there.” My offer is to journey alongside together seeking the truth (and Truth) that inevitably challenges and expands our current worldviews.
