Writer, mission developer, God considerer, tech enjoyer, social critic, I live in Moorhead, Minnesota where I lead The Project F-M, a new venture for a faith-based community of 20/30-somethings in Fargo-Moorhead. I’m the former pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Hallock, Minn. When I have time — which lately, hasn’t been often — I take courses toward a MA in Communication.

A past featured blogger for Working Preacher.org, CC Blogs, Patheos.com, and The Thoughtful Christian.com, my more formal writing has been published by The Christian Century, Minnesota Public Radio, Lectionary Homiletics, Call to Worship, and The Presbyterian Leader.com. I tend to blog on church and culture, preaching, politics, the emerging church, technology (if I can understand it), and sundry items that strike my fancy.

A M.Div. graduate of Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia, I also studied for a year in Ayr, Scotland where I served as Assistant Minister at St. Columba Church in Ayr, Scotland.

I’m originally from Tallahassee, Florida but spent four years at the wonderful St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota.

I like sharp cheddar, local beers, and contemporary fiction.  I tolerate running and enjoy golf.  I’ve been happily married to Megan, both brilliant and beautiful, for five years.

I currently serve the greater church as a member of the Presbyterian Committee on Congregational Song, a group tasked with developing the next hymnal for the PC(USA). I’m also an associate editor for Journal for Preachers.

I’m a big fan of your comments as they somewhat justify the hours spent online, so please leave them… courteously.
