Compiling data, weighing facts, and sorting out feelings through reason and logic will not transform people’s hearts or bring renewal. Hope, as described by the Christian tradition and pronounced by the poet-prophets of the Hebrew tradition, will challenge the claims of what we think we see. Hope opens the world beyond reason. Hope gives access to tensions and contradictions that disrupt our cleanly managed logic. Hope not only remembers but wonders and imagines and even proposes a new way forward.
I am a follower of Jesus, husband and father. I am a son, brother, friend, multi-vocational pastor with Williamsburg Christian Church, TEDx alum, ethnographer, community organizer, published author, founder and president of 3e Restoration Inc, and adjunct professor at Rochester University and Regent University. I received my B.S. in Ministry/Bible at Amridge University and my Masters of Religious Education in Missional Leadership (MREML) from Rochester University. I am currently working toward my Doctorate of Ministry in Contextual Theology at Northern Seminary.
