Longer Bio:

While a native Californian who lived in Chicago for 18 years (Go CUBS), I now live in Grand Rapids, MI.  I’m wonderfully married to Cyd (since 2000) and have two teenage boys (by the way, Cyd is a pretty awesome coach and spiritual director if you are looking for one).

Besides being a pastor, professor, and theologian, most of all, I’m just trying to work out my faith for the real world.

I serve as one of the pastors at Vineyard North in Grand Rapids, MI.

I’m a co-host for the Embodied Faith podcast on neuroscience, spiritual formation, and faith.

Cyd and I also wrote Does God Really Like Me? Discovering the God Wants to be With Us. Check out part of it here.

I also co-authored, Prodigal Christianity, with David Fitch, and wrote Transcending Subjects: Augustine, Hegel, and Theology (a version of my doctoral dissertation).

I work as an affiliate professor of theology at Northern Seminary.
